CYDNEY BROWN
Cydney has played all over the world, busked in the streets of New Zealand, played gigs in Melbourne and Bali; and spent a few months in the French Alps playing as an in-house musician. She has met amazing musicians a long the way too, including Sam Duckworth (Get Cape Wear Cape Fly), Donovan Frankenreiter, JP Cooper and Bristol’s own George Ezra
Her forte is love songs and getting the audience emotional, so having recently played a very busy, successful Saturday night at Beard & Sabre, we thought we'd invite Cydney back to play us more of her original love songs...

ALEX TAYLOR
Alex Taylor is “a genius with a loop pedal… and his voice is stunning”
– Metro
Already compared by reviewers to the likes of Bill Withers, John Martyn and Jeff Buckley, Alex Taylor is one of the shining lights of the acoustic scene and a troubadour of world-class standing.
When you see him perform live, prepare yourself for an energetic and passionate vocal performance, dextrous and original acoustic playing and some dynamic loop pedal trickery for good measure.
Drawing on varied influences from a wide musical spectrum, Alex’s unique style splices elements of soul, nu-folk and electronica to place his powerful-yet gentle, shape‐shifting voice firmly in the spotlight.
A festival favourite, Alex has headlined the BBC Stage at Bristol Harbour Festival and played many other stages including Cambridge Folk and Cheltenham Jazz Festivals.
Notching up over a thousand gigs including support slots for Stu Larsen, Roachford and Jack Savoretti.
His critically acclaimed debut album features performances from members of The Invisible, Newton Faulkner’s band, Portishead and Massive Attack.
Brand new studio album set for release later this year.
“Sublime... Buckley-esque singer songwriter”
– Time Out
“Echoes of Bill Withers' jazzy folky soul”
– Q Magazine
“The burnished baritone... who sounds like a calmer, more soulful Sting”
– The Guardian
“Dynamic solo shows, using pedals and loops to create a wall of sound”
– Maverick Magazine
"Taylor throws the kind of twistedly beautiful shapes on acoustic guitar that recall John Martyn, while his voice is a scratchy, committed thing that can walk across a falsetto tightrope with poise or howl like a wounded animal. An impressive introduction”
– R2 Magazine
“Alex Taylor sings his own lyrics with a technical polish and an affecting, unaffected sincerity that puts him in a category alongside contemporary male vocalists such as Theo Bleckmann and Kurt Elling”
– The Irish Times
“A singer songwriter with a compelling voice... Alex Taylor’s songs are finely crafted and topped off with interesting guitar arrangements, all of which adds up to a fine performer”
– Venue Magazine
