Sam Beer is the latest in a long line of English singer songwriters to take their inspiration from American delta blues but infuse it with a distinctively British sensibility. His finger-picking guitar style, everyday observational lyrics and unusual vocal style put him strongly in the traditional of off-beat English blues and folk singers such as Kevin Coyne and Richard Thompson. Beer has self-released a solo e.p. (Carrier Pigeon) and, in October 2006, his debut album Evening Songs, on which he is joined by drums, bass and a string section.

Truculent

"At the first listening Truculent, marking the minds and ears, in addition to the instrumental mastery of members, especially this place of freedom that give their music seems to escape, inventive improvisation. This envy that transparent rules out music, probably related to some be-bop influences. But nothing seems no longer be left to chance to get there, we certainly feel the many hours of rehearsals of the group to achieve this cohesion . Truculent members take their project to heart, and this is reflected in the quality of their records and their journey to date. "

Ruth Theodore

Solo musician born in Winchester. Ruth travelled and played throughout Edinburgh (incl festival) and is now based in London

Casualties of… peace and the filtered brutality of middle stream suburbia's small town mentality. I used to cobble behind the stand where the bandwagons stopped, marvelling at folk either jumping on or falling off, and each time my hat filled with nothing but loss...

We Aeronauts

In mid-August last year, the eight people that make up We Aeronauts relocated to France for a holiday. They took a car-full of instruments with them too. When they came back they had a band. They wrote a load of songs about the area...from the endless bike-rides they took around the valley they were in, to the days spent in the sun down at the nearby lake, to the foothills of the Alps on the horizon.
