Christiaan Webb - A Man Possessed
Calling in at The Jericho Oxford on a UK tour alongside of the release of A Man Possessed that month, the debut solo album by Christiaan Webb that features 11 songs that represent the culmination of a life-altering spiritual journey for Christiaan. Produced by Charlie Francis (REM, High Llamas, Turin Brakes), it also features Christiaan's good friends Romeo Stodart and Angela Gannon from the Magic Numbers.

Eldest son of songwriting legend Jimmy Webb (Witchita Lineman, Galveston, By The Time I get To Phoenix), Christiaan first came to public attention as part of the Webb Brothers, a band he formed with his younger brother, Justin. In 1998, the demo album Beyond the Biosphere was released to critical acclaim in the U.K. and was quickly picked up by London-based label Easy! Tiger Records. The Webb Brothers then signed with Warner Music and the album Maroon was released to critical and commercial success in 2000. Touring extensively, the brothers built a strong fan base in the UK that continues to this day.

A Man Possessed features some of Christiaan's most beguiling melodies to date, with tracks such as 'Midnight Moon' recalling his best work with the Webb Brothers. 'Life Support' and 'My Best Intentions' express the range, power and soul of Christiaan's melancholy, often spellbinding vocals.

Joshua Caole

"Subtle, understated songs with death and beauty at their heart." - Adam Walton (BBC Wales)

A young man with banjo in hand who keeps one foot firmly in the Forest of Dean and the other In Wales. It has been a fantastic year for Joshua Caole, seeing him go from playing gigs in his home town to Lexapalooza Lite with Frank Turner and Lounge on the Farm festival with The Vaccines and Ellie Goulding. He will be releasing his debut album in 2012.
