The Line up

Jumpin Jesse Jones
Jumping Jesse Jones is a kick ass solo acoustic performer who’s guitar playing treads a thin red line between the funk bass of Larry Graham and the acoustic wizardry of John Renbourne. This unique hybrid of styles creates the effect of a full backing band. His voice veers precariously between Tom Waits and Elvis Costello with songs dealing with such diverse subjects as child abduction and biblical visions. He is also not adverse to mixing in a bit of overtone chanting (singing two notes at once) if applied tastefully! Past incarnations include bass player for London punksters The Cuckoo Jives and Loretta Heywood (Bomb The Bass). .

Samhain
Samhain is a young British acoustic-percussive guitarist and singer. His modern folk inspired sound has a contemporary but timeless quality. Guitar blends with voice and lyrics to give a mature and sensitive style that seems to naturally ebb and flow, driven by the beats he taps on the guitar

Wednesdays Wolves
Wednesday's Wolves is a folk duo comprised of Ysabelle Durant and Chrissy Renker. Both third culture kids, they met while at school in Sri Lanka although their musical collaboration didn't start until they had both finished University.

They first sang together in the summer of 2012 where they were asked to perform a few covers at a charity concert in aid of Save the Children. In June 2013 they began writing their own material and performing at open mic nights around the UK quickly leading to several invitations to perform longer sets at gigs in London and Oxford, one of which found them on the same bill as producer and member of Tired Pony Iain Archer. In December 2013 they were featured on BBC Radio Oxford's open mic slot. Their songs use simple guitar riffs and vocal harmonies combined with a variety of percussive instruments such as cajons and glockenspiels to create emotive and evocative music. Inspirations include artists like Sufjan Stevens, The Paper Kites, Bright Eyes, Fionn Regan and Bon Iver.

Hux
HUX are a new London-based duo/band with Australian and English backgrounds. Having their first taste of festivals in summer, they quickly followed up with a debut single 'It's Alright' and are building up a following. HUX's sound combines multiple varied influences and is generally centred around strong rhythm, harmony and melody, creating a fresh sound with a little nostalgia.
