Amy Winehouse

With a voice like a mix between Billy Holiday and Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse fuses forties jazz with modern urban beats for a gritty and honest sound that is truly like no other. One of the few artists around who can claim some sincere uniqueness, Amy Winehouse has won an Ivor Novello for her songwriting and been named best female at the 2007 BRITS.

Manu Chao

French born and of Spanish origin, Manu Chao's music is a multi-cultural embrace of musical styles, flavours and rhythms. Singing in French, Spanish and English with distinct African and Southern American influences, he is best known for his tongue-in-cheek protest songs, resistance to the temptations of mass marketing, and for making some of the most fun and danceable music around.

Seasick Steve

This is the real deal. Having learnt about the hobo lifestyle early on in life (via many a freight train) Steve 'Seasick' Wold has developed a vivid and wholly authentic folk-blues style. He's been playing music professionally since the 1970s and still has it today.

The Hold Steady

Brooklyn based five-piece making blues-laden geek-rock for the 21st century. Although The Hold Steady's sound will probably appeal to fans of older bands such as Eels, Ben Folds and The Lemonheads, their sound is bang-up-to-date, illustrated by the success of their 2008 single 'Sequestered In Memphis'.

Shakin' Stevens

The Welsh rock 'n' roller who burst into the charts at the beginning of the '80s had, in fact, been paying his musical dues for many years. His first UK hit was Hot Dog in 1980, featuring Albert Lee on guitar, and this was followed in 1981 by a cover of the Rosemary Clooney hit from the 1950s, This Ole House - and all in the face of the punk, New Wave, New Romantics and growing electronica scene. Shaky has won countless prestigious music industry awards and has had an incredible string of hit records, 36 of which were consecutive. Although he took a break from recording in the early '90s, he has continued to tour and has been in constant demand at festivals across Europe. The end of 2005 saw Shaky return to the recording studio and he looks set to keep rockin' for many years to come.
