A self-taught pianist from the age of 7, Dustin O'Halloran's personal histories give us some clue to the thickly-woven tapestries of his music: he has lived in LA (where he studied art at Santa Monica College and formed the much-adored Devics with Sara Lov), Italy (in the depths of rural Emilia Romagna) and Berlin. His arresting, heartbreaking music is as much an elegant exercise in nuance and grace as it is a pure, intuitive, personal expression – and here is where we see some explanation into Dustin's quiet rise to notoriety and his continued ascension.

Andre Williams (born Zephire Andre Williams in Bessemer, Alabama, on November 1, 1936) is an American R&B and punk blues musician who started his career in the 1950s at Fortune Records in Detroit.

Two bands have shared this name. Olympians are four strapping young men from Norwich who play exhilarating sing-along math pop. Risen from the ashes of a more punnily named former incarnation, they are now Daniel (guitar keyboard), Christopher (bass), Ed (drums) and Benjamin (guitar, keyboard and trumpet). They all sing, as much as possible.
Olympians were also a late 1960s - early 1970s Greek pop music group.

Out of her works, the recording of an anthology of female flamenco singing is the one which stands out.
