UNREAL SCARLET’S WELL (ex Monochrome Set)
	Saturday May 7 | The Front Page | 8.00pm

Take one post-punk legend, ask him to collaborate with former local Indie heroes gathered from the ashes of the fondly remembered St.Vitus Dance and what emerges promises to enthral, entertain and quite possibly, implode in chaos.

The Unreal Scarlet’s Well are the the musical incarnation of Bid, the enigmatic, quietly legendary London singer-songwriter and former front man of cult NewWave dandies The Monochrome Set.

Bid’s Scarlet’sWell collaborators have included living modern rock star Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand and dead Victorian poet Christina Rossetti, constantly in church services with the hymn In The Bleak Midwinter. All of which is very Scarlet’s Well.

The music, meanwhile, is a gorgeous, intoxicating form of defiantly non-rocking, timeless and folkish fop-pop. Stunning, ornately-crafted melodies arranged for accordions, mandolins, brushed drums, smoky pianos, banjos, fiddles, ukuleles, and bouzoukis.

Alongside Monochrome Set classics, this new music will be recreated by Brendy Duffin, Kevin O’Neill, Pete Hesketh, Phil Frackleton, Davy McKernan, Noel Burke and Hayden Boyle.
