Formed in early 2008, Cocos Lovers (pronounced Co-Koss), are a six piece band from Deal on the Kent coast. A close-knit band made of family members and friends who all contribute to the writing and arrangements of the bands songs.

Operating well beyond the remit of alt-folk, 6 piece family band Cocos Lovers are an incredibly distinctive musical force who channel North African and Eastern influences while still keeping true to their coastal Kent roots. Their second album ‘Elephant Lands’ offers an interesting progression from the band’s debut, blending their characteristic world music feel with sixties melodies, glistening guitar riffs and sky high production values.

The band comprises of Will Greenham (vocals/guitar/mandolin), Natasha Greenham (vocals/violin), Nicola Vella (vocals/flute/percussion), David Hatton (lead guitar), Billy Glinn (vocals/bass guitar), Phil Self (vocals/bass drum/mandolin/guitar/banjo), and Stewart Hughes (drums).

Hunting down the elusive Nordic Giants is about as easy as tracking down the truth of the legend in the Blair Witch Project. Hidden behind feathered masks, demonic looking costumes and effortlessly changing between many instruments, nobody is fully aware of their true identity…..and their ritualistic pre show preparations of body painting and donning feathered masks and animal skins is nothing short of shamanistic. The mysterious duo perform live soundtracks to a backdrop of award winning short films which do not shy away from dealing with poignant and dark subject matters. Dreamy ambient swells, epic builds and huge moments of power overwhelm their captivated audiences who describe the experience as something akin to a religious experience.

Saskia Maxwell is a young singer songwriter from Cornwall who's haunting vocals and beautifully constructed original material has seen her draw rave reviews from all corners of the south west.

Sheelanagig’s origins lie between the now defunct Dartington College of arts in South Devon and the diverse melting-pot of the Bristol music scene. Formed in early 2005 the band had an instant chemistry and set about playing at every pub, club and open mic night they could get their hands on. Described in an early review in Venue Magazine as “fresh and distinctive”, with “rhythmic variety and great imagination”, the band gained a considerable local following and quickly earned a reputation for their exhilarating and intense live performances.

It was on the festival scene, however, that the band really began to make their mark outside Bristol. Early successes at Shambala, Knockengorroch and the Bath Fringe Festival helped to build Sheelanagig’s reputation. Camping and partying with the festival crowds, the band frequently augmented their early-afternoon ‘graveyard’ slots with late night guerrilla gigs in the bars and chill-out tents long after the main stages had shut down.

Around the world and into your brain, vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentist and looping beatboxing songwriter Mal Webb plays too many instruments in too many styles to too many people. He gives solo performance a bad name, and that's Mal, whatever your language. Music that stomps all over stylistic boundaries. Ebulliently eclectic. Nefariously varied. Family fun free from facile frippery.
It's as grittily human as it is other worldly, as clever as it is stupid, as playful as it is ponderous. Using a world of vocal techniques, guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, chromatic harmonica, a loop recording pedal called Derek and the audience. Ani DiFranco said "You're a freak!" after Mal played support for her. He's like Bobby McFerrin, Aphex Twin and Cole Porter playing scrabble.
Born in Melbourne in 1966, Mal started learning percussion at the age of 4.
