Quoted as artfully blending the Acoustic Folk and Alternative Rock traditions to create a stunningly original yet familiar sound, despite playing music all his life, it was not until Rob Finlay went travelling to South America in 2009 and was sitting in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest that he realised he should form a band and perform more frequently.

His backing band also has some big hitters including Patrick Murdoch on guitar who most recently toured the USA with Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.

The Cheek Of Her who is based in London, England.
Described as being fun, enjoyment, expression and good catchy Pop rock tunes, The Cheek Of Her have been creating a huge buzz on the London music scene through relentless gigs and headlining nights there. The release of her debut EP last year has resulted in her having comparisons to many quirky female artists such as Patti Smith, Gwen Stefani and Wallis Bird as well as modern day Cranberries which may be down to Helen Dooley’s Irish roots.
More information about The Cheek Of Her including details on how you can purchase her material and forthcoming gig dates can be found on her websites www.thecheekofher.com and www.facebook.com/thecheekofher



Daniel Pearson
His debut album 'Satellites' was acclaimed by national/online press and national radio in the UK, Europe and Australia last year (see press quotes below) and the talented singer-songwriter has drawn previous comparisons to Ryan Adams, early Bruce Springsteen and REM.
Daniel Pearson's second album MERCURY STATE out soon


Hadrian’s Union who are based in Cumbria, England.
After meeting in 2008 at the Carlisle Folk & Blues Club, Stew Simpson being a punk rocker dabbling in acoustic music, and Danny being a fulltime Bluegrasser, the unlikely pairing of these musical styles brought Hadrian’s Union together resulting in a unique blend of thought provoking lyrics with sharp acoustic passionate musicianship.
Since their formation, Hadrian’s Union have written and recorded two albums, and performed at Folk clubs and festivals all over the UK, not to mention appearing in the background of several feature films. The band will be releasing their second album titled In Your Own Time, on 03 December, more details about this along with further information on Hadrian’s Union can be found on their websites www.hadriansunion.com

Black Ice Ents
South London’s music production-songwriting and DJ duo Black Ice Ents are set to release their debut single ‘Hero’ from their independent label ‘Ten10 Records’ on 12.12.12. Black Ice Ents collaborates with singer-songwriter ‘Akua’, who delivers a subtle yet prominent and memorable vocal to feature on the Hero record – combining elements of pop, RnB, grime, house and dubstep.

Unsung Lilly
Unsung Lilly consists of two outstanding vocalists, Sera & Frankie (who also plays keys), and are backed by the boys Wayne, Allan and Russ in this quirky 5 piece pop outfit. The band has a very live feel to their music and has been likened to 'a modern day Fleetwood Mac' - due to their contrasting vocalists and raw musical feel.

The first glimmers of this outstanding act started on 29th April 2011, when the musicians (who had been playing together in a commercial covers band) were selected as the band to perform in Hyde Park as part of the Royal Wedding celebrations. The huge crowd was estimated by one newspaper as 300,000.

'We were all stood on that stage, playing covers and looking out at a sea of people, feeling on top of the world,' explains Sera. 'We decided there and then that we'd start writing our own music, and its all come very naturally since then.'

The band quickly developed from that point, and this year has brought them festival slots at Guilfest & Weyfest, and at Belfast Pride celebrations, playing to 25,000 +, and has built up a worldwide fan
base of loyal followers.
'It was hugely important to us to keep our music very real and vibey - there are no layering parts to make things sound bigger than they are. We wanted our recorded songs to sound real, like they would when you hear us live. We're really passionate about that!' says Frankie.

'Happy' is due to be their first single release, being a fun pop tune that does exactly what it says on the tin….brings a smile to your face and makes you….happy! A string of subsequent singles await, and of course a much anticipated album.
The band are showcasing in the BBC Club alongside singer-songwriter Alex Louise on Wed 23rd January 2013.

Edge of the Ocean

Edge of the Ocean is an experimental music project based in Colchester, Essex. In the summer of 2010, Connor McBurney started making some demos for Edge Of The Ocean. At the request of listeners he eventually decided to bring together some other musicians and re-record them. Jon Westera's job was to provide some driving guitars and meaty bass to Connor's flamboyant piano and synth lines. Dan Abbott was brought in to drum all these loose ends together . These efforts finally resulted in Edge of the Ocean's first album: "Insincerity".
The album was released online in March. since then we have been playing live mostly in a new stripped down one piece format with project leader Connor McBurney, who sings and plays keyboards. We are currently preparing for a small tour of the UK in spring 2013 and festival appearances to be announced soon
album is available on itunes and all good on online music retailers. More samples can be found on facebook and youtube.

Boy Called Bernard is not merely a studio band as the intention is to take to the road during 2013 and the band is immediately available for unplugged sessions in-store and on live radio. The initial feedback to the track “Get your head together” coupled with the fun video lyric-based lo-fi, comic book-style video has helped it to gain extensive airplay across the UK and internationally.

Born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, Bernard was brought up in South Africa where he formed the pop band, The Helicopters which burst onto the South African music scene with the infectious hit song Mysteries & Jealousy. Signed to WEA Records and later Epic, the band went on to have numerous Top Ten hits which included Whisper Your Secret, Only for You and Don't Want to Live in Hollywood and topped the national charts for some four months). Bernard moved back to England in 2004 where he continued to write and produce and has recorded a number of solo albums.

Rebecca Reynolds is based in St Albans and has worked with Steve Levine, Mike Stevens, Judie Tzuke, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and many more.
