Promoters, SW1 Productions said 'The band were looking for unusual venues to play on this tour, they'd already asked us about Princess Pavilion as they'd heard it had a bandstand, and they loved the idea of playing in a Cave!'
The Guillemots (which is the plural of the name of a group of seabirds, but most often meaning the Common Guillemot), first emerged in 2005 with a support slot on Rufus Wainwright's sell out UK tour. 2006 brought the release of their Mercury Prize nominated debut album 'Through the Windowpane', which narrowly lost out to The Artic Monkeys, but firmly established the band with much critical acclaim.
In March this year, the bands follow up album 'Red' charted at no.9 in the UK album charts, with hit single 'Get Over It' reaching no.20 in the same month.
No strangers to Cornwall, the Guillemots supported KT Tunstall at the Eden Sessions earlier this year and in 2007 supported Paolo Nutini at the Rip Curl Boardmasters.
But this will be their first headline show in the region and as you would expect from the band, will take on a slightly non traditional format... 'Fishbone for a drink' tour is in association with Future Shorts who are one of the leading and most innovative short film labels, who passionately believe in getting short films seen and creating a culture around the medium, Future Shorts is recognized by filmmakers, the industry and press alike as the cutting-edge short film label.
The format will be Future Shorts setting up a cinema screen to show short films with Guillemots providing an improvised live soundtrack as the first part of the show followed by a full Guillemots performance as the second part of the show. The Carnglaze Caverns show will be seated. Support details to be announced.
