More details coming as New Word Alive 2012 draws near:

Making Faces (Saturday night)

Making Faces are back after sufficiently gratifying the NWA crowd last year with their blend of sketches, poetry and music. The trio of Dan Curtis, Lizzie Kevan and Ed Mayhew run FACELIFT, a monthly comedy night that has played host to Pappys (E4), Holly Burn (The Times Top 5 comedians to watch) and Jigsaw (BBC3s Live at the Electric).

Steph Macleod (Monday night)

If you were at New Word Alive last year there is a high chance you will remember Steph Macleod. Steph is a talented singer/songwriter who exudes the reality of Christ in his music. Think John Martyn, Ray Lamontagne and add some Scottishness to the sound and you are presented with the earthly sound of Steph Macleod.

Steph has played gigs all over the UK and Europe and has received radio play in Scotland and on Radio 2. Follow Steph on Twitter: @stephmacleod
