Kid Id

Kid iD started life in the mind of singer / guitar player Ralph Pellymounter. After spending about a year playing solo acoustic gigs all around Leeds he met fellow music students Josh (bass) and Will (drums & violin). The three of them began to jam together and gig together before doubling their numbers with the addition of a brass section (Pete & Ian) and extra percussionist Joe. Their sound slowly began progressing from the solo folk ramblings of Ralph into a unique fusion of jazz, funk, ska and bluesy rock.

Fenster

There are several artists called Fenster. 1. FENSTER (Bln via NYC) // Formed in 2010 by JJ, a New Yorker, Jonathan, a Berliner, and later completed by percussionist/journalist Lukas FENSTER makes de-constructed pop music, exploring electro acoustic arrangements peppered with traffic noises and bird calls. Their lyrics are often carefully constructed dream narratives, finding inspiration in the world of ghosts, graveyards. trains, religious imagery, and broken machinery. In their music, they build songs around errors, blending melodic chords with broken beats or minimal percussion.

Frau

It all began as a playful side project. Leilani Hermiasih was just a little bored with her daily life. Her background in classical piano (which she had learned in some lessons with a superbly nice and patient old lady since she was about 7) gave her a little idea in what kind of game she wanted to play. She wanted to play the game of fun music. It was never that hard. All of the melodies would come out of outer space, and magically place themselves into her fingers as she then tried to put them all together into a proper song. Lyrics were added, and voila! It was done. Ding!

Port Isla

Started in late 2010 by university friends Will Bloomfield and Stanley Spilman, the band splits it's time between Norwich and London.

Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs

Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs, fast becoming national festival favorites, are the Godfathers of the musical genre 'Skunk' - Skiffle/Punk.
The basic core of three members: Hobo Jones (Tea chest bass, Banjo, Gob Iron), Miser Bill (guitar & Kazoo) & Wino Tyrone (Washboard, pots, pans & kitchen sink) are one of the most unusual and energetic acts playing in the UK today.
They will skiffle almost anything (including The Pussycat Dolls!) and with seriously funny banter between/during songs...
