Intro -

Semi who is based in St Lucian, The Caribbean.
                                                                                   
After first being recognized for his singing talents by school bullies who preferred him to sing for them rather than beat him up, Semi has since acquired quite a name for himself on the island of St Lucia and beyond.
Having been busy over the years on the national circuit including a stunning performance at Waterfront Jazz in 2012 as part of the St Lucia Jazz Festival, the attention he has been receiving has since resulted in a large number of radio stations on the island as well the UK, Canada and Australia too, now playing his music.
The release of his new single titled Look What Love Can Do is expected to increase his profile further, and you can find details on how you can purchase this along with forthcoming gig dates on his websites www.semismusic.com and www.facebook.com/semismusic


Blue Skies who are based in Lincolnshire, England.
                                                                                   
After storming onto the scene in late 2010, In Blue Skies are now creating a huge buzz on the North West music scene with their catchy acoustic ballads and driving poppy hooks.
Their regular gigs playing in small and large capacity venues has since resulted in a number of support slots being secured including Scouting For Girls, LuLu and Dean Mumford from The Rifles to name but a few which has helped build their ever increasing fan base further.
The release of their new EP titled Three Summers has been described as music that gets you singing along to at the top of your lungs, dancing like there’s no tomorrow and breathing some well needed fresh air into the pop music scene.  
Details on how you can purchase this along with information on forthcoming gig dates can be found on their website www.inblueskies.com or you can follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/InBlueSkies and Twitter at www.twitter.com/inblueskies

He is influenced from a wide range of music such as The Beatles, Frank Turner, Elvis Costello, Green Day, The Ataris. Taking elements from Pop, Rock and Folk. he blends together a catchy, honest sound.
