Here’s a list of some of the delights in store at the Apex in September

False Lights

Sun 2 Sept, 7.30pm

False Lights

BBC Folk Award-winning singer-guitarists Jim Moray and Sam Carter explore new kinds of folk-rock hybrids with ‘folk rock for the 21st century’. Formed in the spirit of the genre’s late-‘60s originators, but informed by the music of Sam and Jim’s far more recent youth, False Lights are a gleefully raucous guitar band that plays traditional songs and tunes. Their first album, Salvor, gained five star reviews, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination for best album, and copious airplay on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.
