Taking influence from Soul, Jazz, Folk, Pop and Blues, Callum has his own sound - either stripped back to his growling vocals and grooving guitar lines or supported by a fabulous rhythm section and intricate arrangements. He continues to wow audiences with passionate performances and a book of songs crafted with heart and intent. Having played over 100 shows in London, Callum has set his sights on a tour of the south coast starting in May 2018 with performance dates to be announced later this year.

Connor Arnold
Born and raised on The Wirral Peninsula, with access to rich musical influences from the city of Liverpool, it seemed natural that Connor began playing the Merseyside circuit; from village halls, sports clubs and schools concerts, to venues including The Picket, The O2 Academy and The Cavern Club.
Connor went on to train at the acclaimed London drama school Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, as an Actor Musician, specialising in guitar. As a graduate Connor has worked with Sir Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Beauty and the Beast, Evita) and played the lead role in the reimagining of his show "Blondel". During a comprehensive tour of Spain, Connor played 'The Pardoner' in "The Canterbury Tales”. Most recently he is taking part in the 25th anniversary UK Tour of "Buddy Holly and the Cricketers”.

Gasoline and matches
Sally Rea Morris and Steve Marks met initially through their mutual love of country music back in 2011 when their paths first crossed in a guitar shop in Birmingham. Shortly after meeting, Sally was due to move to America, so they decided to write, record and perform just a handful of shows together before she left. The undeniable chemistry both on stage and in the studio was a sure sign this would likely be just the start of their journey but an ocean apart, their story was put on hold. Upon Sally’s return in 2015, it was a matter of weeks before the duo reconnected and formed Gasoline & Matches. The more recent addition of 3 new band members allowed the band’s sound to develop and really start bringing the songs alive. Citing the likes of Little Big Town, Chris Stapleton and Brad Paisley, their sound reflects a unique blend of heart felt vocals fueled by edgy guitar licks and a smoking rhythm section. Making appearances at 2 of the UK’s premier country festivals, Buckle & Boots and FSA Fest, and with a British Country Music Association nomination for Duo Of The Year 2017 in the bag, this explosive duo are about to set the UK Country scene alight!

Danny McMahon 

Danny McMahon is a commercial singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and director of Puzzle Maker Studios in Bristol, UK. With a passion and talent for creating compelling vocal harmonies, powerful melodies and meaningful lyrical content, Danny is in his element within the country music scene. 

His passion for Country music began upon introduction to the famous Brad Paisley song ‘Letter to me’. He said he ‘connected with the songs’ realness and authenticity’. As he became increasingly fixed upon the way country music uses emotive lyrics and shows such a great level of relatability, Danny thought he’d give writing country music a go, little did he know that he actually had quite a talent for it. This fuelled the beginning of Danny’s pursuit of the country music business.
