Jess Vincent
"Jess Vincent is a name that should become as familiar on the lips as the wind is upon the trees" Fatea Records
Jess is an an extraordinary young songwriter from Wiltshire with a unique and gorgeous voice has which has been compared to many, (Kate Bush, Iris Dement and Maria Muldaur) but is so distinctive that it could only be Jess Vincent.
Utterly captivating live, she delivers her songs with subtle arrangements on guitar, baritone uke & harmonium and shruti box reveal a maturity that belies her youth, yet allows her vulnerability to shine through.

Paul McClure
Known for his intimate, storytelling concerts Paul's characters and story lines - in particular the loves, laughs and losses that have come his way - though lyrically often brutally honest, nearly always allow the humorous side of any situation come forward.
"Rutland Troubadour, aka Paul McClure. A master of the intimate setting, his dry wit and engaging personality allied to some great songs are making him a significant player on the UK roots scene." - Jeremy Searle, Greenbird Promotions/Americana UK/R2
Since giving up his teaching job to follow his dreams and go full time in January 2014, McClure has clocked up the miles finding places to play from Southampton to Manchester, Southend to Bristol with shows at folk clubs around the country including acclaimed performances at Wychwood and Cambridge folk clubs and Roots Music Club, Doncaster, sharing the stage with such touring folk and Americana musicians as Emily Barker, Otis Gibbs (USA) Red Sky July, Sons Of Bill (USA) Red Moon Road (Canada) Edwina Hayes and The Young 'Uns.
"Paul McClure has a voice made to hand out solace, advice and words to cushion the fall with a deep understanding translated easily by his ability to sing from the soul." (Alternate Root, USA)

The Pips
An all female trio hailing from The Midlands. Rare it is to find three vocals that fit so well together and the trio meld lush vocal harmonies over cajon and guitar accompaniment to create a sound that draws you in. The trio have been compared to the likes of 'The Staves' with the soulful essence of 'Lianne La Havas' and are regular performers at venues across the Midlands and have supported the likes of Ciaran Lavery and Bobby Long. Recently winning Flipside Recording Studio's first ever 'Naked Sessions' with their cover of 'Hold Back The River' by James Bay, The Pips have gained extra social media presence and interest from this on top of over 1000 Facebook Likes. Expect to see a debut E.P. from The Pips coming soon.
