Growing up on a stringent diet of Rock and Roll the Velvet Hearts’ anthemic groove-rock style is a tribute to this legacy, a homage to their past and most notably to a shameless troubadour spirit which is clear in their live shows.

Congregation

Hailing from the New Cross bedsit scene looking like a couple of gangsters from the depression era, Congregation have lately been injecting the Blues and R 'n' B genre with a heavy dose of class and soul. Benjamin Prosser (Slide Guitar, Bass drum) and Victoria Yeulet (vocals, leg bells) play the kind of raw, slinky and seductive blues that have the power to restore one's faith in the genre.
