John Adams is a Welsh singer-songwriter whose powerful, emotive vocals and deeply personal songs create intimate, quietly captivating live shows — ideal for a romantic evening out. Blending stripped-back acoustic arrangements with subtle modern production, his music sits comfortably between contemporary pop and the evocative folk he was raised on, exploring love, connection, and vulnerability in a way that feels both personal and widely relatable.
A favourite of BBC Radio 2, Adams has built a substantial global following, amassing over 250 million streams across his releases. You may have heard his music featured on major TV shows including Love Island, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The Voice. His songwriting has also caught the attention of other artists, with recent cuts recorded by Calum Scott.
His live performances have earned praise from Clare Balding (BBC Radio 2), Gary Barlow, and Carol Vorderman, who described his shows as “Sensational.” With over a decade of live experience, sold-out UK tours, and support slots alongside major artists, John Adams delivers a live show that is both emotionally resonant and effortlessly engaging.

Izzie Yardley
Izzie Yardley’s music is a free-flowing braided river of classical, folk and jazz. With vivid guitar figures, rolling drums, and warm basslines forming the landscape beneath her, she sings with a studied, unafraid introspection and melodies that linger into the late-night hours. “I’m not here to make nice music,” she says. “I’m here to make music that could be the key that opens the door you keep locked.”
Her debut album ‘Diving The Unknown,’ produced by Ethan Johns (Laura Marling, Kings of Leon) will be released September 24th 2026. Recorded live in her local Somerset town, it’s an energetic, vulnerable and honest exploration of how we navigate our own lives and the lives of those around us. Single ‘The Garden’ has been championed by BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing ('Such an amazing artist.')
Live, she’s shared stages with artists like This Is The Kit, Jesca Hoop, Caoilfhionn Rose and The Brother Brothers, planting her roots in the contemporary folk scene, while debut EPS - Imposter (2023) and Pull Back The Sea (2024) - were supported by PRS Foundation Women in Music, Help Musicians and championed by BBC Introducing, Absolute Radio and BBC Scotland.
