[Hidden Door @hiddendoorarts]

This year's #HiddenDoor open call for music attracted an unprecedented 634 applications!

It was a mammoth task, but our panel managed to whittle it down to 16 eclectic and talented acts joining our musical line-up for your listening pleasure.

So, drumroll... here's they are!

Wednesday 31 May welcomes Edinburgh indie outfit Dinosaur 94 and an opening night party with the larger-than-life Blue Giant Orkestar.

On Thursday 1 June, Glasgow music collective Azamiah and Leith-based folk-pop outfit The Micro Band take to the stage.

Friday 2 June features Edinburgh-based alternative Hip Hop artist Billy Got Waves and the dreamy indie-electro of singer-songwriter Sarah Carton.

Saturday 3 June sees Glasgow’s rave-punk poet Spencer Mason and Scottish / Malaysian-Chinese rapper and harpist Queen of Harps.

Sunday 4 June presents the pulsating Glasgow-based four-piece Sweaty Palms and the sick riffs and spiteful lyrics of post-punk outfit Cowboy Hunters.

Another six artists selected through the open call will perform for audiences during the day on Saturday and Sunday before the event becomes ticketed. They are Goodnight Louisa, Peplo, Blush Club, Josephine Sillars, Rhona Macfarlane and Blair Coron.

Tickets for all nights on sale now!

Liz Truss’ cost-of-living plan would give *10 times* as much to the rich as those who need it.

Top 10%: £936
Bottom 10%: £92

There’s a class war in this country, and it’s being waged from above.

😮 1.7 million planning to cancel direct debits to energy companies!

💪 On our own we're weak, but collectively we are unstoppable. We just need to find each other and do this together.

[the Juice Media @thejuicemedia]

The UK Government has made an ad about the spiralling cost of living crisis, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 🇬🇧

UK wages should be 47% higher today.

That’s where they would be if they grew at post-war rates.

But since 2008, we’ve seen a mass robbery of workers.

It’s time to say enough: https://t.co/1SeHcIXdMr

[Don't Pay. @dontpayuk]

🔥 Looks like the energy companies are getting nervous - as they should be:

They know that if a million of us stand together, we will fight them, and we will win! 📈❌💪

Let's end the #CostOfGreedCrisis: join the movement !!

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

Hospitalised COVID patients in the UK

2022: 17,019
2021: 3,862

Can someone tell the government Covid isn't over and Johnson didn't get us through anything.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

MPs.

• Free rail
• Free rent
• Free energy
• £2,200 pay rise

Socialism for MPs, Barbarism for ordinary people.

[Irvine Welsh @IrvineWelsh]

This is brilliant.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Spain has just introduced free rail travel for all local journeys from Sept-March paid for by taxing wealth of big energy & finance corporations.

Long distance fares are also being cut by 50%.

We need to do the same in the UK.
