LIVE MUSIC
- Eli Gumble
Fiercely independent solo singer-songwriter. Writes songs in varied styles, all tied together by the carefully-crafted storytelling in each one.
Comparisons have been drawn to George Formby, Daniel Johnston, Yellowcard, Brett Domino, The Eversons, Dudes and Their Guys, Tiny Tim, Monty Python.
I can assure you that I don't have a silly voice, despite some of those names.

- Lovell
A 2-piece witty folk/punk duo.
Lovell has been described as: "Touches of Richard Dawson, PJ Harvey, Nirvana", "Each song is its own world", "Poetic and feminine voice with punk and metal riffs underneath", "Deadpan humour and satire", "Marianne Faithful meets Sylvia Plath meets Baby from Dirty Dancing","The Pixies meets Waitrose"

- Hypnobard
Hypnobard will take you on a sonic voyage through faraway galaxies, blending rock with exploration of other music styles, one genre-hopping track at a time. This musical expedition will take you through the depths of inner and outer space. Hypnobard is an interdimensional entity and picks up stories and music ideas from various worlds and time periods. On earth he got inspired by Yes, Hawkwind, Asia, Iron Maiden, Jeff Wayne, Meat Loaf, Bach, Queen, Rachmaninoff and many other profound musical entities.
