Green Pea
AB Paterson Auditorium Byre Theatre St Andrews

Born in Paris in 1976, Pascal Ayerbe calls himself “the sound scribbler” (le gribouilleur sonore). With a unique blend of traditional instruments and ordinary everyday items, he creates his own special world of musical characters. His technique is scribbling. Take whatever object if it makes noise (plastic toys, utensils, bowed saw, toy piano), then tame it, give it another life, another meaning, through sound. Somehow, it is a lesson of diverting. "Flatten yourself, hide yourself, I stick my ears everywhere, I strip your attics and hit your saucepans as does the green woodpecker!" Ayerbe creates music as discoveries, from haphazard and clumsy strokes of inspiration, which makes him an unclassifiable key composer.   View www.lovemusicfestival.com  for details of the full festival.  Box Office 01334 475000 www.byretheatre.org.uk

Iain Matthews
The Inn at Lathones

Iain Matthews - History so far..
In 1967 Matthews became a founder member of the British folk rock band, Fairport Convention,
staying with the group for almost 2 years.
In order to facilitate and develop his growing fascination with American singer/songwriters, in 1969 he formed his own band, Matthews Southern Comfort, This group spawned a massive European hit with the Joni Mitchell song "Woodstock". However, within a year, Matthews felt restricted and began his solo career, signing with the Vertigo label and a new era began. After 2 albums for the company, once again, he felt the need for newer pastures and in 1972 Plainsong, a quartet, was formed with friend Andy Roberts, where together and to high critical acclaim, they chronicled the exploits of American aviator, Amelia Earhart.

Jackie Leven
The Inn at Lathones Largoward, St Andrews

Born in 1950 into a Romany (Roma) family, Jackie Leven spent his childhood and teenage years clearly marked out as an outsider in the clannish, insular world that was Fife, Scotland at that time. Although Scottish himself, neither of his parents were from the area - his father was an Irish Cockney, his mother was from a large Northumberland (Geordie) family, and adapting to existing cultural norms was a hard, if not formidable task for such incomers.
