In the late 1980s The Wedding Present were one of the most famous British indie bands. Their career path often involved unusual decisions, such as recording a set of Ukranian folk songs for their first major-label offering and releasing a single on the first Monday of every month for a year. Band members came and went, but the idea of The Wedding Present as a group has remained. Nowadays fans of 'the Weddoes' can still hear their favourite songs (as well as new material) being played live by original songwriter David Gedge and his band.

Airport Girl are an eight piece band from Nottingham. They began life as a shambolic indiepop band back at the turn of the millennium. Debut album 'Honey I’m an Artist' was released in 2001 on Fortuna Pop! / Matinee Recordings. The release of the second album 'Slow Light' in 2007 on Fortuna Pop! saw a more downbeat, orchestral country-pop sound. This seemed to maximise the potential in the vocals of singer and songwriter Rob Price and received much plaudit from the critics. 'The true heirs in a lineage of such elegant bands as Felt and The Go-Betweens' -SoundsXP

This feverishly exciting four-piece are from Norwich. They have inspired quotes such as : 'Gorgeous, wonky Candy-pop with boy/girl vocals. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to love this. The Kabeedies are a suspicious gathering of some boys and a girl who like to concoct new ways of baffling the human ear. Their slightly damaged minds dream up gleeful pop tunes and a live show that leaves audience members dying for their next fix of sweat and gaiety' - Cherryade Records.
