Biography
"We bring you Spectral Park’s debut full-length under the auspices of pop brainchild Luke Donovan, who played all of the music (and records) on the record. These are songs borne from the trash, literally sourced from a box of records the Southampton multi-instrumentalist found on a walk by a council block’s curbside garbage.

Media Circus

MEDIA CIRCUS are the result of failed past musical ventures, free time and the joys of learning. Media Circus are: Sam Lowen, Dale Jones, Luke Sandoe and Tom Reade.
After tom and sam's previous band ended they continued writing and playing together with the absence of a full line up. Dale took the role of bassist having had no previous experience with the instrument and took upon himself to learn as he was close friends with them and a fan of their writing.

The Common

There are currently two artists with this name: 1. The Common - Pioneers of 'Geek-Hop', THE COMMON came together at the start of 2009 after the four guys met at a local open mic night run by Mike Brown the singer/MC and Richard Berner the guitarist.

Threepenny Bit

A young and vibrant addition to the folk scene, Threepenny Bit folk and ceilidh band was formed from an unlikely combination of student-types in Southampton in 2010. Consisting of suitcase percussion, fiddle, flute, guitar and clarinet, they play a wide range of Irish, English, Cornish, Breton and Scottish diddly-dee music with a hint of klezmer! Threepenny Bit set the trend for “Half Price Busking” in the Summer of 2010, when they embarked upon a busking campaign to spread folk music to the four corners of Southern England.
