THE BLACKHEART ORCHESTRA:
https://theblackheartorchestra.com
The Blackheart Orchestra is officially the smallest orchestra in the world
Two people playing 13 instruments between them, Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington draw on their backgrounds in rock, folk, electronica and classical music to create a unique sound frequently compared to early Pink Floyd, Portishead and Kate Bush as well as contemporary composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass
Described as an ”Avant-garde musical utopia” they perform in their ‘musical space station’ of instruments including guitar, bass, percussion, mandola, piano, organ, omnichord and vintage synthesisers
Their last two albums both achieved Top 20 positions with latest album Hotel Utopia charting at #13 in the UK and winning Best British Album, Best Song and best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards
The Blackheart Orchestra currently sits on six Best Albums of the year lists in the UK

Megan Dixon Hood is an independent artist taking inspiration from folklore, mythology, nature, and human beings
Exploring otherworldly and alternative genres, she immediately enchants the listener with her ethereal and ambient approach to songwriting
For fans of AURORA and Florence & The Machine, Megan effortlessly immerses you into her unique and electronically surged brand of storytelling, described as ‘forest pop’ with a modernised pop underbelly

Olga Dikajee is a Russian singer-songwriter from near Lake Ladoga in northwest Russia
Her music combines weavings of folk, neo-baroque, neoclassical, progressive rock and more
She is also a gifted artist and painter who creates wonderful artwork to accompany her music projects
MOLLY TILSTON:

The sweetest, heaven-kissed voice of an angel, with original songs to die for and and exquisitely chosen tunes to captivate with their beauty
Her folk family pedigree undeniably shines through as the younger daughter of the Steve Tilston and Maggie Boyle folk dynasty
She is, however, a superstar in her own right, and will melt the coldest of hearts with her stunning performances full of power and emotion
