Eastern Promise @ Platform, 1-2 Oct

Platform’s Easterhouse-based cultural centre adds another string to its bow in October with Eastern Promise, a two-day festival boasting local talent alongside guests from further afield.

Wounded Knee’s looping lullabies kick off Friday, followed by Josephine Foster performing Spanish folk backed by Victor Herrero and band. Feted pianists Rachel Grimes and Nils Frahm round out an eclectic first night, before Saturday ups the indie ante with King Creosote headlining above Malcolm Middleton’s intriguing new project Human Don’t Be Angry. RM Hubbert and recent Chemikal Underground signees FOUND conclude a robust and exciting first edition of a festival with a fair dollop of potential. [Chris Buckle]
