DRIVEN SERIOUS
Driven Serious is a five-piece original folk-rock band based around Newcastle upon Tyne. They've been on the circuit for 12 years and released two LPs and an EP. Their high octane performance is something which has made us unforgettable.
Driven Serious new album: "Look On These Works is an incredibly engaging listen, whether it’s the monumental sounding strings that carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of the title track, it’s an impressive experience." - Narc
Driven Serious performance: " I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much more than that.

ELIZA DELF AND THE WILDERNESS
Eliza Delf & The Wilderness will be showcasing music from their eagerly-anticipated new album Feast due for release in late spring 2025.
Their music joyfully trespasses across the carefully constructed genre boundaries of indie, gothic folk noir, and progressive art rock. The songs are full of darkly imaginative and fiercely untamed imagery, and unsettling stories. Flair, virtuosity, subtlety, and creativity are the hallmarks of their live performance – all underpinning the dramatic and mesmerising vocals of Eliza. At times hushed and fragile, at times soaring and spine-tingling, at all times captivating – Eliza commands the stage and enthrals the audience.
There are plenty of good quality videos available if people want a taste of what to expect. They are all available either on the band's official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4hSjIjdqDnjZa07EBvYfOA or their website www.elizadelf.com.
UNCLE PAF
