NARC. Magazine takeover the Words Weekend concourse stage to present the cutting-edge homegrown talent they’re most excited about. Come hear sets from local artists experimenting with lyrical storytelling across folk, rap and…semi-operatic electronica!

The Black Sheep Frederick Dickens conceptualise the life and legacy of Charles Dickens’ wastrel brother using darkly cinematic electronica and unhinged baritone vocals. Their performances are thrillingly unpredictable, don’t miss them!

Me Lost Me, aka Newcastle’s Jayne Dent, creates utterly entrancing electronic pop music which folk song traditions. Having been described as making a ‘brilliant perculiar noise’ by BBC Radio 6Music’s Tom Robinson, she’s a singularly unique talent. www.melostme.com.
