Jacques, A Robin

Often compared to the likes of Antony and the Johnsons, Scott Walker and Richard Hawley, Jacques, a robin’s singing and songwriting stem from Davide Ariasso’s genuine soul journey. This started in Italy, his country of origin, and quite naturally landed in England, where many of the artists who inspired him came from. His dark, sensual and solitary music investigates archetypal themes, literary characters and dreamy, eerie, melancholy stories that seek to inspire a search for truthful expression.

Toyface

Formed in 2007 after a chance meeting in the back of a broke down traveller's truck - both hailing from the Bristol/Somerset area, Tamsyn and James started writing and performing songs together shortly afterwards. Lyrics and melodies are provided by Tamsyn, around which James builds the piano pieces and the rest of the band play. Described as 'old swing in a new style', Tamsyn's songwriting resides somewhere between fun-time party music and more conscientious, emotional lyricism.
