The Line up

Jumpin Jesse Jones
Jumping Jesse Jones is a kick ass solo acoustic performer who?s guitar playing treads a thin red line between the funk bass of Larry Graham and the acoustic wizardry of John Renbourne. This unique hybrid of styles creates the effect of a full backing band. His voice veers precariously between Tom Waits and Elvis Costello with songs dealing with such diverse subjects as child abduction and biblical visions. He is also not adverse to mixing in a bit of overtone chanting (singing two notes at once) if applied tastefully! Past incarnations include bass player for London punksters The Cuckoo Jives and Loretta Heywood (Bomb The Bass). ....

Malcolm MacWatt
As founding member of emerging London country band The Glass Mountains, Scottish musician Malcolm MacWatt is already gaining recognition for his Americana-infused songwriting.

While a deep respect for country and bluegrass is evident in his songs and guitar playing, as a solo performer Malcolm freely shows his British folk roots citing John Martyn and Dick Gaughan as major influences. Age 12 and just getting into the guitar he first heard Johnny Cash At San Quentin and was immediately hooked into country music. A Transatlantic Records promo album featuring Pentangle and Fairport Convention introduced the idea that folk, rock, blues and jazz could be fused together.

A self-confessed ?guitar geek? he moved to London in 2010 to study guitar-making and instrument repair with some of the UK?s top luthiers. He also plays dobro and fiddle.

Sascha Osborn
Sascha is a London, UK based, emerging singer songwriter who blends her cocktail of influences, seamlessly dancing between the ?folk? and ?jazz? worlds utilising these flavours and colours to express tender reflective songs about hope, loss and love. Her debut album ?Looking Out And After? has received airplay on BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio Suffolk and extremely positive acclaim. Currently touring in the UK playing venues and festivals as a solo artist with acoustic guitar and as a duo with Andy Hamill on double bass, electric bass and harmonica and as a trio including Justin Woodward on percussion, drums and vibes
