UK based singer songwriter and multi-instrumental loop artist. Already compared by reviewers to the likes of Bill Withers, John Martyn, Damien Rice and Jeff Buckley, Alex Taylor is one of the shining lights of the acoustic scene and a troubadour of world class standing. When you see him perform live, prepare yourself for an energetic and passionate vocal performance, dextrous and original acoustic playing and some dynamic loop pedal trickery for good measure.
His critically acclaimed debut album features performances from members of The Invisible, Phantom Limb, Portishead & Massive Attack.
Currently on another extensive UK tour to promote his'We Have Moved' EP, Alex has notched up hundreds of gigs in this past year alone including support slots for Michael Kiwanuka, Roachford, Stu Larsen and Joss Stone.

*********LIGHT FALLS FORWARD*********
http://www.lightfallsforward.com
http://www.facebook.com/lightfallsforward
An acoustic folk act, formed by Charlie Evans and Naomi Paget. Since releasing their debut EP, Songs and Shadows, in 2012 they have since taken their music far and wide with two European tours last years and several UK gigs from small folk venues to a 10,000 strong crowd at a family festival in Essex.
Their new and third EP, Sleeptalking, encapsulates how much they and their music have grown over the past year with a fuller, more cinematic soundscape and reflective feel. Strings play a prominent part and their storytelling lyrics have a more powerful drive than previous EPs, from the anger of Green Eyed and defiance of What If, to the affirmation on Only When We Sleep all coming to a beautiful close with the closing lullaby track, Silent Conversations.
Their music is intimate yet powerful, haunting yet uplifting, described by Tom Robinson on BBC6 radio as an'emotional cannonball'. They combine elements of Sharon van Etten, Laura Veirs, Feist and Daughter to create a sound that is organic and unique. For Folks Sake said' stunning guitar picking, some surprising harmonies and quirky piano syncopation, which just shows how good these guys can be.'
*********DAVE ABRAMS*********
