Scottish singer-songwriter  SAMANTHA WHATES is a hugely respected figure on the London roots scene. Her beautifully crafted poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is both thoroughly contemporary and rooted in tradition, and uniquely her own. She was recently a key member of  Rough Trade Records signings Picapica alongside Josienne Clarke, Adam Beattie and Sonny Johns. Her debut album Dark Nights Make For Brighter Days and current album 'Waiting Rooms' have both enjoyed both critical acclaim and extensive radio play (BBC 6 Music, KCRW, Resonance FM).

ROBIN ELLIOTT?s full-length debut album, There is a Land, was released in November 2019. Co-produced by longtime collaborator and Radio 2 Folk Award Winner Ben Walker (Folkroom Records), it weaves diverse strands of influence into a compelling, coherent whole. At the centre is Elliotts voice: beautiful, strange and distinctive, equally adept at the high and plaintive as the declamatory or the dry. And there are jokes, odd references, intricate vocal harmonies, jazz players, weird skips beyond the fourth wall. Live shows have taken him around the UK several times with contemporaries Jack Harris, Samantha Whates and Cameron Niven, and further afield into France, Italy and Brazil. The Weapons EP is compiled from Robins early work as songwriter-for-hire, including from the award-winning documentary feature film A Very British Gangster.

JACK CHESHIRE's music has evolved from minimal lo-fi psych folk to multi-layered shimmering art pop // space rock with an esoteric singular sound. His live show has led him to share bills with luminary peers Songhoy Blues and Josh T Pearson, and grace the stages of Green Man Festival and The Kings Place. The ghosts of Broadcast, Nick Drake, and Syd Barrett skirt the edges of Cheshire's songs, embellished by what Uncut magazine calls an 'Ian McCulloch-style croon', with a 'burnished psychedelia [that] takes this music to the skies?.

He released his 2020 album ?Fractal Future Plays? to universal press and radio acclaim.

'Lyrically, melodically & sonically compelling?born out of strange & altered inner states.?
???? MOJO
