Sian Kelly

Sian Kelly is a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist from London, bringing elements of Grunge and Jazz to her sound. She was discovered at age 14 by Cato Music (tour manager of Muse) and went on to receive a music scholarship to attend the World Heartbeat Music Academy.

Lukas Post.

Lukas Post. is a soul inflicted rock singer, songwriter, guitarist. His debut album 'Lessons of Lesser' has just been released and is a showcase of 60's and 70's soulful rock sound, with a hint of blues, a groove of funk - strong baselines and harmonies. Post’s acoustic side consists of renditions of his debut album, with warm and raspy vocals, and an engaging stage presence. He brings a unique intensity to the stage fusing The Beach Boys, The Eagles, The Beatles, The Doors, and Lenny Kravitz with a sprinkling of Little Richard.

Dion Deverill:

Dion Deverill hails from Auckland, New Zealand. His passion for music started at the age of 14 and like many other artists starting out, took up piano lessons. He acquired a strong interest in Jazz music and consequently joined a jazz band and small group combo in which he performed with for many years. While studying music theory at Auckland University he developed a strong interest in electronic music production. He soon started composing electronica and performing in clubs and venues as one of New Zealand’s premier Electronic Acts under the moniker of 'Fluid'. A number of his original tunes had some airtime on NZ radio.

Following his move to the UK Dion focused on composing downbeat and developing his voice and guitar skills. After a year of practicing his tunes in his bedroom, a stubborn new year’s resolution, and some timely singing lessons, Dion took the plunge and has taken his act to stage. He has been performing for voice and guitar regularly since his debut in April 2011 and has performed at Glastonbury, The Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Sub Audio, and Boomtown Festivals, and internationally in the Philippines.

Kelly Louise

Kelly Louise and Jimmy Owen are no new-comers to the music scene. Singing, and writing meaningful music, they blend their country tone with pop and rock in a way that connects with and engages the audience.

Kelly and Jimmy have been gigging in and around the South East as well as a venture to Austin Texas. Their music is an eclectic mix of Country/Rock/Pop with some Prog elements, drawing on inspirations from bands such as Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkel, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Bonnie Raitt

"Kelly Louise's always immaculate vocals, subtle and mature songwriting combined with stellar performances all round make this band a must see - looking forward to catching the band live again"

— John Dryland (Cargo Records)

Sebastian Blake:

Sebastian Blake is the Singer/songwriter extraordinaire from London. He started his music venture singing on beaches and in local bars in Brighton where he was studying electrical engineering but volt-faced to pursue his passion for music. Since then he has been sharing his rhythm-driven songs and shaking up the scene; his musical style as he calls it an "an injection of rhythm, Pop and Soul”. Sebastian was soon scouted as a result of these energetic live performances and invited to play at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics games and a special performance at the Tate Modern in April 2013.

Seb has quickly racked up an army of 20,000+ followers from his live shows and his very energetic but humble social interactions with members of the public and extended fans. He has also founded his own record Label (Laboremus Records) and has released his Anticipated EP only this month.

"I don't have any agenda except to be a better artist in the next two weeks then the preceding two weeks"
