Luke White -Luke White is a singer-songwriter whose guitar-based music and heartfelt words mirror his influences John Mayer, Dermot Kennedy, Ben Howard, Tracy Chapman, Damien Rice, and James Blunt. Luke surprisingly started out as a blues and rock guitarist and transferred over to the songwriting world at the age of 16! After getting a break up message he thought he'd try to write a song which he now describes as "wet and sad"...he never looked back. He has been writing and releasing music since 2018, and has gigged all over the UK. During the pandemic he had taken time to write new material and record ready for release. On his recent single 'Keep Holding On' he worked with Billy Lockett in production, and the song was about the pandemic. He then went on to support Billy on one of his tour dates and has had support from radio stations such as BBC Introducing and Soho Radio. He has multiple plans for releasing over the coming months in 2021 including "Doesn't Matter What They Say" a song about the negatives of social media, but giving the message of "just do you" and ignoring the negativity you see online. His most recent release was a duet with the amazing Leona Mae called "Love Is Simple, Till It Fights Back". It is a folk/pop ballad about how love can be so simple and euphoric until there is anger, betrayal and hatred.

@calon_music - 8:15pm - 8:45pm

Calon' is the artist name for Adam Lewis, a Welsh musician originally from Swansea, and is based in South-West London.Having similarities to Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and the guitar stylings of Johnny Marr, Calon's songwriting blend of alternative rock with jazz/blues makes for an unconventional yet exciting style of playing.

In Welsh, 'Calon' can mean a few things (Spirit, Centre, Emotion) but literally translates as 'Heart', something which is reflected through the emotive and honest nature of his original songwriting.

Ella Clayton

My music centres around sharing stories; that’s what I’m fascinated by and drawn to in other people’s music’.

Ella Clayton’s artistry pairs her dynamic vocals with vivid scene-setting, a skill that also translates to her visual art practice. Writing and singing since the age of seven, Clayton perfected her craft in Berlin before returning home to London to pursue a collaboration with producer and musician, Lester Duval (Alfa Mist, Jordan Rakei, Pip Millett). More music is set to follow in the new year.

Jade Like The Stone

Jade Danielle Williams (aka Jade Like The Stone) was born into a Welsh/Italian family and raised in the one time Welsh Capital, Merthyr Tydfil, in South Wales. A town named, according to legend, in tribute to Tydfil, the daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog; a woman slain by pagans in the 5th Century. 

Moving to London, Jade slowly reunited with music, this time forming the post modern rock band ‘Du Bellows’, a band described by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page as “by far one of the most interesting and musically adept bands I have seen recently. There is a cosmic counterpoint alive and well here”. As well undertaking sessions for other producers and artists, in 2018 Jade even – albeit semi-seriously – accepted an invitation to appear on TV’s ‘The Voice’ where she gained a place, appropriately enough, on the team of legendary Welsh singer Tom Jones.

 Jade is a poet and lyricist drawing on not just her own very rich personal life experiences but also the Jurassic landscape and scenery of her home town, Welsh folklore, Celtic mysticism, and the strong matriarchal influences of her childhood, underpinned as they are by a strong public school education and general aptitude for literature and language. 

Musically the expressionist colours of composers such as Debussy, along with the harmonies and tonal qualities of the Renaissance, have all helped shape Jade’s own ear and songwriting. This plus her musical training in everything from Opera to Folk with, of course, the added influence of many genres of modern music from classic acts like the Doors, Beatles and Neil Young to more contemporary influences such as Jill Scott, Massive Attack and Modest Mouse, to name but a few. A large melting pot indeed which informs and influences her music to unparalleled effect.
