Ellie Ford
“Ellie Ford has the type of voice that can transport any listener into a dream-like fantasy.” - WJ London
Having released two full length LP's of kaleidoscopic Alt Folk Ellie Ford returns with new material, solo and darker. Her voice and harp twisted and distorted through effects pedals and rolling drum machines. It is delicate, yet powerful and moving.
Adder
"From violin-led folk songs to absorbing synth-led confessionals, he pushes his limits as a multi-instrumentalist and artist"
The Brighton-based multi-instrumentalist has spent the last 10 years touring and recording with artists including Michael Baker, Lucy Rose, The Staves & Samantha Crain. More recently, ADDER began work on his dormant solo material, finally getting out to perform it in late 2021. Now, with a full set of material performed alone on synthesisers, violin & guitar with extensive use of loops and effects, he has translated this studio project onto the stage.
Fred Hills
"Ambitious, diverse, and heavily swayed by extraordinary sound, Fred Hills creates captivating compositions by fusing influences from around the musical world."
Fred’s forthcoming debut EP ‘Incerto’, draws influences from The Cinematic Orchestra, White Denim, Jose Gonzales and others. This has been brought to life through collaborative efforts with producers and sound designers; Alex Barron and Aneek Thapar, who share Fred’s vision to create music and sounds that defy genres and cross traditional boundaries.
Flying Swordfish
"A psychedelic-exotique Afro-latin adventure. Highly Recommended" - Union Music Store
The band will NOT be playing live but this will give you an idea of the mind behind the visuals and aromas that the bandleader Rodrigo Kerr will be doing on the night!
