?He is a writer of rare talent, a singer with the ability to rivet your attention. Our Blood Is Red is outstanding? - Bob Fish, Folk Radio

?Gave me a shiver down my back, just like the first time I heard Nick Drake and The Lake Poets. Luke James Williams is the Real Deal? - The Rocking Magpie

Luke will be joined by fantastic local artist Rosie Saffron. Inspired heavily by Indie-Folk artists, including the likes of First Aid Kit, Bears Den, Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver, 22 year old Brighton-based Singer-Songwriter Rosie Saffron combines her love of reading and songwriting, drawing influence from the way Classic Folk always tells a story, through introspective lyrics and haunting, creative melodies. With a love for the music scene in Brighton, Rosie moved to study Music Performance and Vocals at BIMM Institute Brighton and has been taking every opportunity to perform, network and share these stories further since. Back in March of this year, Rosie performed as part of the Folk band, Letti and the Mouse as part of Hastings Fat Tuesday Festival, and is currently focusing on her solo project, writing continuously, with the aim of releasing an EP in the coming year, as well as performing as part of Brighton?s Great Escape Festival on the upcoming artist?s stage.
