The Line up

That Old Quiet Lighthouse
That Old Quiet Lighthouse are as much a familiar sound as they are distinctly unique - a statement only decipherable by listening to their debut EP “Dubious Beginnings”.

Big Thief, American Football, Fleet Foxes - all inspirations you’ll no doubt hear as they hit you right in the feels, lovers of the bittersweet so they are. Concocting memorable choruses and empathetic verses through a fresh mix of classic singer-songwriter, a dash of folk and math rock when it calls for it, TOQL are an act guaranteed to make you think, and what more could you ask?

Lead singer/bassist Ashley Garrod channels the keen insight of Pinegrove’s lyricism, balancing from-the-heart melodies with passionately intricate bass lines. Gabe, as the rhythmically tight, emotive backbone of their alternative sound, sits comfortably beneath the expressive and varied textures crafted by guitarist James Cooke and violinist/synth player Pip Rouisiamanis.

Their single 'Decade' was played on Amazing Radio by Charlie Ashcroft, describing it as a "stunning record". Its accompanying music video was premiered by V13, with their latest single 'Laughter' being featured by Fame magazine and play-listed by Ones To Watch - they're steadily picking up pace and building up a following. Come join the wholesomeness!

Podge Lane
Having opened the door to showcase his musical and lyrical stylings, Lane's debut album, "Outer Monologues", was released on November 26th 2021. Remarked for bringing a truthful edge in contemporary country and folk stylings, Lane's album continues to garner praise from IMRO, Finbar Hoban Presents and Sinusoidal Music. Launching his album in Winthrop Avenue in March 2022 to full capacity, Lane continued to tour his album throughout Ireland and London, supporting artists such as Charlie Parr and Tootawl and performing in London's Lion Records.
Following on from the reception of his debut album, Lane has released 'Paradise' on August 19th which marks the first single off his sophomore album which is set to be released in early 2023. Receiving resounding praise for 'Paradise' from media outlets such as Hot Press, Golden Plec and IMRO along with playlisting across Spotify, Podge returns to touring with new songs of pain, triumph and self-reflection.

Sascha Osborn
Inspired by jazz harmony, soulful melodies, descriptive lyrics and a love of simple everyday natural beauty, Sascha Osborn is a songwriter and performer of reflective and heartfelt songs. Blending her cocktail of influences, seamlessly dancing between the ‘folk’, ‘jazz’ and at times ‘retro-soul’ worlds, she utilises these flavours and colours to express narratives of relationships and evocations of life experience, love, loss, and hope. Her debut album ‘Looking Out and After’ has received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio Suffolk and extremely positive acclaim. “An utterly captivating album” Hillbilly Boogie, Blues & Roots Radio. ’Opens in a dreamlike reverie that recalls Joni Mitchell’s Hejira album’ RnR Magazine. Currently playing solo gigs with guitar, connecting with people in person through music, and thrilled to have a brand new album on the horizon soon to release featuring exciting arrangements and first-class jazz musicians
