LiVES
UK solo-artist LiVES (aka Peter Chisholm) was the singer & guitarist with cult UK rock duo The Sea (along with his brother Alex on drums), they released 3 studio albums & played over 1000 concerts & festivals (inc: Glastonbury, CMJ, SXSW, Eurosonic & supported Muse, The Kills & James Morrison on UK/European tours). As well as having 3 songs in Kerrang Magazine’s ‘Top 10 Songs of the Week Chart’ & being ‘Record Of The Week/Month’ in The Guardian, The Fly, Rocksound & CMJ Magazine, they also had several radio hits with songs such as:New York, Love Love Love & Get Up Stand Up Die.
Come Together #2, co-written by James Morrison is the lead single (released 3rd May) from forthcoming LiVES album ‘Let Them Eat Cake’, produced by John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis, The Verve, New Model Army, Supergrass, Catatonia, Razorlight, Robert Plant, Stone Roses, Ride). Peter explains "I was in James's home studio hanging out, we wrote a song called Come Together & he gave me the 'tapes' & said do whatever you want with it'’. Essentially the song is about panic & disenfranchisement with the world but also the yearning to pull oneself out of the darkness.
After early independent releases of ‘The Flying EP’ & ‘The Naked EP’ (Acoustic), LiVES moved towards a more guitar led style with debut album ‘Bayonne 21’ (2021) & have now gone heavier still with ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ (Released 25th Oct 24). Peter’s music is used on T.V, film and advertising throughout the world inc; BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Warner Bros, ESPN, CBS, MTV, Netflix, Amazon Prime & many major brands for advertising. He has written for & with James Morrison, Bob Geldof, & Sony BMG.

Art Room
Hailing from Southwest London, this sibling-led three-piece band, with Amber on vocals/guitar, Will on bass and their childhood friend Luke on drums, incorporate a melting pot of influences spanning 70s to present day, from the intricate rhythms of punk and progressive rock to the vibrant groove of funk, their music is a rollercoaster of sonic exploration.
Very much live-music led, the band has already achieved band-defining moments such as performing on a new band stage at Glastonbury 2022, at the 02 Academy in Islington, having their album ‘On The Lilac River’ produced by Morgan Nicholls (formerly of The Streets and The Gorillas) and being interviewed on BBC Radio, RTL Luxembourg and Delaware University Radio.
