THE CADBURY SISTERS:
http://www.thecadburysisters.com

The Cadbury Sisters are an alternative-pop trio comprised of Jessica (vocals and percussion), Mary (vocals and electric guitar) and Lucy Cadbury (vocals and acoustic guitar) - and who many people may not be aware, are all direct descendants of William Cadbury (the man behind the world famous chocolate company)!

They are set to release their brilliant second EP 'Sarah' in June 2015 via Fear of Fiction Records. Recorded at the legendary RAK Studios in London and coming exactly one year after their debut EP 'Close', the new release is an exciting departure from the melancholic vocal harmonies that defined that record.

Expect to hear a broad spectrum of sonic influences, ranging from Fleetwood Mac and Kate Bush to Bat For Lashes and First Aid Kit, boldly displayed alongside lyrics that disclose the siblings closely shared personal experiences and melodies that echo their pop-songwriting sensibilities.

The trio have played at numerous festivals, including 2000 Trees, Cambridge Folk, Moseley Folk, Hard Rock Calling and Blissfields and at Hyde Park in London, and will also make their debut appearance at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

They have also supported the likes of George Ezra, The Staves, Dry The River, Stornoway, Treetop Flyers and Caitlin Rose.

"They make beautiful music" - Huw Stephens, Radio 1.

"Breathtaking vocal harmonies and painfully honest lyrics" - The 405.

"Absolutely stunning, you'll be hearing more of that from me" - Janice Long, Radio 2.

"Beautiful harmonies and gorgeous vocals" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music.

LITTLE SPARROW:

Lyrically intriguing with tenderly beautiful vocals, the songs of Little Sparrow are projected with honesty and passion presenting every word as a truth burning from deep within her heart.

She continues to develop as a uniquely talented artist through her imaginative song writing and her captivating delivery.

2014 was her most exciting year yet, as it involved more live appearances than ever, and most significantly she was thrilled to have fulfilled a huge ambition by releasing her beautiful debut album 'Wishing Tree'.

The album gained many great reviews and radio plays including - Radio 2 (Janice Long), BBC Introducing Manchester (Michelle Hussey) & BBC Introducing Merseyside (Dave Monks), BBC 6 (Guy Garvey, Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson), Amazing Radio (Simon Raymonde, Ruth Barnes, Shell Zenner) and many other radio stations local and international.

She also released an EP in December called Struck Gold, again to much airplay, and ended the year with an appearance at Union Chapel in London.

July will see the release of album title track 'Wishing Tree' plus an accompanying video and additional new recording.

2015 is already proving to be another great year with new song writing underway and many live appearances in new locations planned as she attempts to spread the name of Little Sparrow far and wide.

Her debut EP 'The Bed of The Brook' was released in 2011 and led her on to play festivals such as Radio 1's Big Weekend, Kendal Calling, Solfest and Ireby as well as gaining her a spot to play across the pond at Dewey Beach Music Conference in Delaware.

Her first single 'The Water' was self-released in 2013 and has had extensive radio play including BBC Cumbria, BBC Merseyside and by Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 as well as having been playlisted by BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson.
