Neil Young

Monica Queen

Monica has made records with Belle and Sebastian, Chris Coco, and James Grant among others. She was the singer in the awesome Thrum and presently makes records with Johnny Smillie under her own name that are like no other records you'll hear. No attempt to pastiche other artists or be part of any scene, they are as unique as they are beautiful. More inspired by soundtracks than the history of pop with a voice that has been compared to Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Margaret O'Hara and Kate Bush.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Canadian singer and songwriter Neil Young includes his personal garage band Crazy Horse ("second best backing band in the world") to make raw and unpolished rock. Their gritty style of rock has influenced countless artists and music styles. Crazy Horse is best known for its long association with Young, despite having released five albums of its own over a 19-year span. It has been co-credited with Young as Neil Young and Crazy Horse on 13 albums, "Live at the Fillmore East" from the 1970 tour (2006) being the last.

The Horses of Instruction

..Like the feeling you get from thinking about infinity for too long, or worrying about asteroids striking the earth as you stand there washing dishes.
Their new EP 'Atlas' contains songs about disgruntled mythical figures, comforting attitudes about the universe, and exploding planets.
some of The Horses of Instruction have also appeared as part of The Gresham Flyers and Telley

Edd Garratt

Edd is a Singer/Songwriter currently gigging around London with his band. Massimo Troiani on bass and Conor Goold on drums. With a soulful voice that can make a room full of people fall silent, and songs to back it up, he has justifiable been compared to the likes of Ryan Adams and John Martyn. He has just recorded a 5 track demo with his band, which can be found at: http://www.myspace.com/eddgarratt I saw him live last month and will certainly be going to see him again. Definitely a talent to watch out for in 2010.

Stevie Jones

Stevie’s roots were laid down busking and playing floor spots at folk clubs in his native Northants. In the 90s he lived for two years in Germany, extensively gigging and spent time in Dublin, playing on the city’s fibrant open mic scene. These experiences provided him with a wealth of influences and inspiration and for the last four years he has been joined on stage by the awesome guitar skills of Mark Gill.
