Brooke Sharkey:
With new album 'Under Stones' out Sept 4th
Brooke Sharkey grew up in London before moving to France at the age of 9 inspiring her interest in songwriting in both English and French. Starting her musical journey as a street performer and session singer at 16, she has since released 2 Eps and 2 full length albums ‘One Dress’ (2012) and ‘Wandering Heart’ (V2 records- 2016), travelled and toured extensively gaining recognition from The Guardian claiming her as one of the top 50 independent artists in the world in 2016. She produces and co-producers her music with various artists and musicians. Her unique vocal delivery and lyrics reach into the vast yet intricate themes of love, loss, hope, beauty, nature, seduction and wonder. Having relocated to Oslo in 2020 between 2 waves of Corona, she is currently recording new songs Norway to be released later this year.
'An introspective sound adorned with emotional vocals … that create a tense air of melancholy that few others can master so simply and so elegantly, Brooke Sharkey oozes a creativity that radiates emotion. She is a woman who bleeds artistry'

Martin Callingham:
Martin is a Bristol based writer of songs and short stories. His last album "Patterns" released on Undergrowth Records is an understated classic of orchestrated chamber folk and beguiling hymnals - like being whispered to by the shell you've picked up from the beach. Come and listen to him in double shell stereo.
As heard on BBC 6 Music Cerys Matthews, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq etc
"A sublime stream of complete and utter loveliness."
