Bluebird

Bluebird is a Bristol-based singer-songwriter whose music blends pop, rock, soul, and jazz, effortlessly adapting to the mood of each performance. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Yebba, Ariana Grande, and Paramore, she combines powerful vocals with heartfelt songwriting to create a sound that is both soulful and dynamic.

Bluebird released her debut single, "Lonely," on 22 May 2026, followed by her first EP on 22 July 2026. The success of Lonely led to an unforgettable performance at Good Times Live 2026, where she opened for Jessie J in front of an audience of more than 2,000 people.

Renowned for her versatile, siren-like voice, Bluebird captivates audiences in every setting. Whether commanding a festival stage alongside her talented full band or delivering an intimate solo performance, she brings authenticity, emotion, and an unforgettable presence to every show.

Kurt Alexander

Kurt Alexander is a project started by David Alexander Kurt Gibbs in 2018, whilst living in Berlin.

The project places importance on honesty and emotion rather than genre.  Each lyric is carefully crafted, painting vivid imagery and showcasing Gibbs’ keen observation of the details with which he describes and poetically symbolizes much. After writing and sitting on material, Kurt began playing live in 2023. Mainly joining bills for shows in Bristol after moving back home in 2022.

After the release of two EPs and with the addition of Matthew Bishop (Guitar) and Matthew Britten (Drums) in 2024, Kurt Alexander now performs both as a three-piece and solo. Kurt had a compilation of their early material released by Trowbridge’s Sketchbook Records in 2025.

“Gibbs’ deep, resonant voice serves as the perfect vessel for the introspective lyrics, which navigate the intricacies of love and friendship with nuance and depth.” – Naomi Joan, Illustrate Magazine

Batstone

Down to Earth, honest and defiant, Batstone is Bristolian indie-folk artist. His songs read like stories, written from the heart, and drawn from his experience as a young transgender man growing up in a complicated world. He embeds vignettes of his life into wildly creative landscapes, inspired by the raw authenticity of artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Noah Kahan, and authors like Virginia Woolf and Ocean Vuong, allowing you a glimpse into his ‘Frivolous Imagination’
