 | Hi Stu, The Court House is one of the main venues for this year's Open House Festival and there's so much happening throughout August, we could never fit it all in a single email. So, we've decided to break it down and give you a look at what's happening in the first ten days. Some events have already sold out but there are still some great shows on sale whether you're a big fan of acts such as And So I Watch You From Afar, The Darkling Air, This Is The Kit, Rozi Plain, Otis and the Elevators or want to experience something new this summer. |

If you missed out or want to relive the great times this is an opportunity to catch the most influential local retro soul/R&B band of the last three decades. Expect high octane favourites in the Elevators' own unique style. If you like The Blues Brothers, then you will love this. | | | | |

The Darkling Air & Arco String Quartet return to the Open House stage to perform a host of new material from their forthcoming third album.

| | | | AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFARFRIDAY 9 AUGUST • DOORS 7.00PM | ALBUM LAUNCH DAY SHOW To mark the release of their 7th studio album ‘Megafauna’ on 9th August, And So I Watch You From Afar will perform a special album launch day show for a select audience at the Court House featuring tracks from the record and some of their most-loved tracks from their back catalogue. They play raw, charging, experimental music - angular, noisy, pulsing, and euphoric. | | |

+ ROZI PLAINSATURDAY 10 AUGUST • DOORS 7.00PM | This Is The Kit is the pseudonym of songwriter / banjo strummer / pinhole camera lover Kate Stables since she began performing in the early 2000s Bristol scene. She has earned the admiration of peers including Sharon Van Etten, The National and Guy Garvey of Elbow and BBC 6Music. We are thrilled that she’s making her way to Bangor from her home in Paris. We’ll also be treated to a solo set from Rozi Plain, already an Open House favourite. | | |
