George Boomsma:

"A sensational guitarist and a beautiful singer-songwriter, a name to watch." Moseley Folk Festival
"If it were possible for Nick Drake and Thom Yorke to collaborate, it might sound something like this." Fresh On The Net
"Songs of exquisite beauty, with a voice that could melt ice caps... gorgeous stuff." Bob Fischer, BBC Tees

Singer-songwriter George Boomsma comes to Hyde Park Book Club this October as part of his UK tour celebrating the release of his new EP What's Left Behind. 2022 has been George's year, with performances at Glastonbury Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia, the Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City, Latitude Festival & Moseley Folk Festival, as well as a UK tour accompanying Katherine Priddy.

Having honed his songwriting craft and live performance over the past decade, George's star has been on the rise over the last few years - he has been invited to play alongside artists such as Richard Thompson, Gaby Moreno, Kathryn Williams, The Travelling Band, Chloe Foy, Neill Maccoll, Jefferson Hamer, Emma Langford and Martha Tilston, and his music has been featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and RTE Radio 1. Based in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, George's pure voice and tumbling guitar make for a bewitching combination ? warm and melancholy, melodic yet powerful, he exhibits a maturity and poetic lyricism that have left audiences around the country entranced.

Harry Orme:

Marrying the immersive story-songs of Anaïs Mitchell and Andy Shauf with the fluid dexterity of guitar players such as Scott Matthews and The Tallest Man On Earth, Leeds-based singer/songwriter Harry Orme has crafted a catalogue of songs that are as lyrically moving as they are mesmerising in their intricacy. These songs have kept him busy, and in good company ? he has toured the UK and Europe and has opened for world-renowned songwriters across the indie-folk spectrum, including Big Thief, Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Scott Matthews, Tiny Ruins and Ciaran Lavery.

Sunday Lendis:

If you're a music fan in Leeds then the chances are you've heard Sunday's voice, even if you don't know you have - a highly in-demand vocalist, she can be heard both live and on record with northern powerhouses B-ahwe and KOG, among many others. 2022 has seen Sunday step towards centre stage as she prepares to release her debut solo project in collaboration with guitarist and producer Ed Allen. Developed with support from Sound and Music's Covid-19 Composer award, this new record blends high-level musicianship, introspective lyricism and modern production to tell stories of adversity and hope that will bewitch anyone listening.
