Event information

A consistently solid songwriter & musician at her foundation, Natalie Holmes has been releasing music both solo and collaboratively since 2010, with an unwavering energy for encouraging inward reflection and growth through her lyrics. Beginning the journey with grainy covers on YouTube, Natalie now has countless EP’s and singles released under her own name, as well as extensive self-produced demo albums on Bandcamp and Patreon where her close and connected fans support her.

In 2016 Natalie was asked to join Above & Beyond on their Acoustic World Tour as one of their lead vocalists, on account of her ethereal yet heart-wrenching vocals, performing in spaces like the Hollywood Bowl & Royal Albert Hall. Though collaboration with a wide range of electronic genres is something she enjoys making a large part of her musical tapestry, she has also received attention for her solo material from Radio 2 + 6, Record of the Day & Clash, the latter quoting “an inspired return from a songwriter we will enjoy watching develop over the coming months and years”.

In 2020, Tom Robinson gave ‘Dandelion’ a spin on his BBC 6 show, which will feature on the album, and you can find a number of original works by Natalie on ‘Calm’, the #1 sleep & meditation app.

“The inventive but familiar, simple but complex. She writes the kind of tunes that get inside your head and don’t let go” – BBC Introducing in the West

“The music is flowing, graceful and calm, but with a driving pulse to it, giving it life and vitality, a heartbeat” – Tap The Feed

“Natalie Holmes possesses a sonic and lyrical punch with engaging melodies” – Get Into This

Anne-Marie Sanderson is an artist who has taken the scenic route, living across the map and working in various fields, with music running as an ever-present current through her life. ‘Old Light’, her forthcoming debut album, brings together songs written over the course of a decade, drawing on themes of nature, personal growth, and ancestral wisdom.

Anne-Marie’s songwriting is both thought-provoking and uplifting, combining deft guitar work with imaginative melodies, and her delivery combines a heartfelt tenderness with a sense of purpose. Lush string and woodwind textures create a dreamy and expansive sound world, equally well-suited to accompany morning coffee as for late-night listening.

Press for Anne-Marie's previous release, "Book Songs Vol. 1" (2018):
"a gloriously wide vista of astonishing grown-up tales which both fascinate and delight – the overall result, complex and immersive, is mesmerising... A bold, unusual and most beautifully constructed body of work." - Tap the Feed Magazine
"thoroughly atmospheric" - Northern Sky
