British Sea Power

British Sea Power are Yan, Noble Hamilton, Woody and Eamon. The band began life in Cumbria, 2001, and after a few relocations gained an enormous reputation in Brighton and then Europe, as tour supports to such greats as Interpol and The Flaming Lips. By the end of 2004, they were known worldwide, receiving acclaim as 'the best band in Britain' (Sunday Times) and attaining the Time Out award for Live Band Of The Year. It's quite remarkable that in this short time, BSP have established themselves as one of Britain's most noteworthy bands.

Craig Campbell

The Wild Man of Canadian comedy delivering in style and occasionally making up one third of The Dinks. His unique humour fuses together whimsical anecdotes with salty stories of sex, drugs and circumcision. However, be warned, his laid-back manner and genuine warmth belie the true outrageous nature of his material. Still, his stoner philosophy and risque subjects have won him devoted fans worldwide. Simply put, he is a very fun man.

Dan Black

You may be aware of his cover of Notorious BIG's classic, 'Hypnotize' - he's Dan Black, former singer of indie-rock champions The Servant, with some gorgeous new songs to show off. Black has also worked providing guest vocals for italian group Planet Funk.

DJ Derek

Legendary Bristol DJ whose blend of reggae, dub and ska has made him an icon for many in the industry, including a host of Jamaican producers and Massive Attack. Derek isn't your average turntablist - a former accountant in his late 50s (at least!) with a major cardigan habit, Derek kindled his love for music as a washboard player in the 1950s; nevertheless he continues to blow away audiences with his unique selections.

Dylan Moran

Perrier award winning comic, famed for his laconic Irish attitude. He has starred in and written several TV comedies, most recently Channel 4's BAFTA and Montreux Festival Award winning 'Black Books'.
