First on the lineup we have Kwilkyn:
Risen from the valleys of Dartmoor, Kwilkyn is the result of an adventurous mind trapped in a homebody. Joseph Crosher (the songwriter behind the pseudonym) uses Kwilkyn as a tool to introspect what he would otherwise push down. With strong themes of nostalgia, loss and romance Kwilkyn explores his sense of place and self. Kwilkyn navigates the juxtaposition of feeling comfortable yet trapped and wraps it up in a package full of indie-folk with fragments of grunge tossed in.

And closing the night will be Josie Blakelock:
Bristol-based singer-songwriter Josie Blakelock pens haunting songs that transport her listeners to a dark romantic world of gothic intrigue. She first gained recognition from BBC Introducing in 2023, following the release of her debut album, The Conqueror. Inspired by novels such as Wuthering Heights and the folk music tradition, her melodramatic music is poetic and emotionally intense, exploring timeless tales of haunting, heartbreak, and desire.
