The Curators

Back for its second year, a session curated by the BBC Introducing team from Radio York & North Yorkshire, running throughout Friday in the magnificent Black Howl big top. Jericho Keys, presenter of the station's Introducing... show, presents some of the finest unsigned acts from York and North Yorkshire - and what a line-up it is. Find out more about Jericho in SoundSphere.

Saturday night on the Black Howl stage sees the Boss Caine-curated Sundown Sessions. A veritable feast of magical roots-based variety, gathered together by York's Boss Caine frontman Daniel Lucas, and compered by the brilliant punk poet Henry Raby. As the sun goes down expect to be singing and dancing along, expect to be moved, expect the unexpected, and definitely, definitely, expect to go back to your tent smiling. This session is going to really take people back to the heyday of festival glories past.

Something special happens when the sun goes down. Be here to witness it.

There is an amazing collective of artists in Hull who are unique, diverse and hard working. There is a huge buzz in the city at the moment not only due to the ever-growing and supportive music scene, but also due to the council's support towards the arts and music and the fact Hull has been chosen as UK City Of Culture 2017.

Warren Records is at the core of the music scene. As part of the Warren Young People’s Project charity, Warren Records consists of a free recording studio, rehearsal rooms and a development record label alongside workshops and other training opportunities. They also act as an agent for Hull emerging artists feeding music into many local events as well as running stages at all the local festivals and heading out around the UK to showcase nationally. The Warren is now working with many people within the industry to link with emerging artists and offering support and development to many those artists who are hoping for a career in music.

Warren Records and their Young People's Project are bringing the very best of the Hull music scene to Galtres Parklands Festival.
