More Information

Joan Baez

Joan Baez

The most accomplished interpretive folksinger of the 1960s, Joan Baez has influenced nearly every aspect of popular music in a career still going strong. Baez is possessed of a once-in-a-lifetime soprano, which, since the late '50s, she has put in the service of folk and pop music as well as a variety of political causes.

Suzanne Vega

Suzanne Vega

New York singer/songwriter, Suzanne hit the charts on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-80s. Along with artists like Tracy Chapman, she set the groundwork for female singer/songwriters working a stylish literary folk genre. Her cool minimal sound and bitter-sweet lyrics continues to haunt the British music scene today.

The London Community Gospel Choir

The London Community Gospel Choir

Whether recording World Cup anthems and the soundtrack for The Lion King, or appearing at Glastonbury, the London Community Gospel Choir has been an inspiration for more than 25 years. Combining rich harmonies and invigorating vocal gymnastics, the LCGC is an infectious celebration of gospel, swing-beat, R'n'B and soul.

Stackridge

Stackridge

Stackridge have the distinction of having opened and closed the very first Glastonbury and as the title of their new album 'A Victory For Common Sense' attests the resurrection of the original line up is a cause for celebration for fans, old and new. Andy Davis, James Warren, 'Mutter' Slater and Jim 'Crun' Walter still retain their unique mix of charm, skill and intelligence. Here they are as contemporary and fresh as bands half their age with a collection of songs that emphasise their talent for writing memorable melodies and playful, poignant lyrics.

Tom Baxter

Tom Baxter

A singer/ songwriter with distinctive lyrical and descriptive songs that he delivers in an intimate and personal way, Tom Baxter's songs are a musical reflection of real life. In a refreshing break from the norm, Tom Baxter sings it like he means it. After a legendary residency at Bush Hall in Shepards Bush in 2003, he was signed to Sony and soon became a name to drop.

Tift Merritt

Tift Merritt

A stunning North Carolina-bred Grammy nominated country singer-songwriter. Favourably compared to Emmylou Harris, Carole King and Sheryl Crow. Shades of blues, folk and rock.

Foy Vance

Foy Vance

An intelligent singer / songwriter with a sublime voice, funky guitar style and a clever turn of phrase. His distinctive Northern Irish lilt finds an obvious comparison with Van Morrison.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam

Formed 1998 and led by former Pele singer Ian Prowse and the talented and stunning Genevieve on vocals/guitar/flute, this band are irresistible, gorgeous and know just how to rock out. They impressed Elvis Costello so much he promptly asked them to play live with him, while their appearance on The Janice Long Show prompted her largest listener response ever as recent release 'Love Phenomenon' hit No 1 in the Peoplesound charts. Good for music and good for the soul.
