POLLY AND THE BILLETS DOUX are something brilliantly different. Known for their flawless and energy-filled live performances, the genre-defying quartet Polly and the Billets Doux boast a genius blend of Folk, Pop, Rock N' Roll, Soul, Country, Blues and even Gospel. They have a solid reputation and extensive history of headline tours up and down the country; from Ullapool to Brighton, and almost everywhere in between.
Their debut album Fiction, Half-Truths and Downright Lies had them topping many 'ones to watch' lists back in 2010, and the buzz hasn't stopped since. That same year, they reached number 21 on the BBC Radio 1 Indie Charts and were invited to do sessions with BBC 6 Music's Cerys Matthews and BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends.

FIREWOODISLAND
Lets go on a ramble, loosen the 'chords' of the ordinary and set foot into the rustic sound of Celtic Viking Music.
Expect uplifting tunes, joyful skipping, mesmerizing stories, enchanting anthems and an exciting fusion of unusual instruments. Creativity and artistry are the campfire they dance around.
They are family; they are Firewoodisland!

LITTLE ARROW
Once upon a time, on the edge of the world, one man had a dream to record his songs of hope surrounded by lovely people from all walks of life...what Will ended up with was two lost midland souls in Dickie and Ben, a mad german sound genius named jens and a lovely cottage with wires that made us sound good. Many people visited this cottage to grace it with their sounds of joy, Margaret Hughes, Daisy Haran and Steven Linehan providing their vocal prowress. Over the course of 9 months little arrow was born and music masks and poems recorded (available for purchase). Now with the addition of Dan to bang some drums we've decided to share our music through the medium of live performance.

LONG FOR THE COAST
Long For The Coast are a Bristol-based acoustic duo who really fancy each other and sing about their friends, skateboarding, the state of the world and ice-cream vanz. Inspired by artists such as Against Me, Tom Waits, The Gaslight Anthem and Sufjan Stevens, they hope that the sincerity of their lyrics might help to promote a culture of openness and social acceptance.
