Riz Mc

Riz Ahmed, an Oxford graduate with a London pirate radio background, had his 2006 debut single "Post 9/11 Blues" temporarily banned from British airwaves, within months of being detained by British Intelligence for acting in Michael Winterbottom's multi-award winning film 'Road to Guantanamo' (outside of music, he is an actor)... He also starred in BAFTA winning TV film 'Britz'... Here is a seriously versatile UK talent, winning plaudits by word of mouth across a diverse range of audiences.

Cinnamon Chasers

Welcome to the world of Cinnamon Chasers, a name that you’ll be hearing a lot more of from now on as this is the first single from the brilliant forthcoming album that is set for release in spring next year. Cinnamon Chasers is the alter ego of Russ Davies, a man with an extraordinary musical background. As the son and nephew of Dave and Ray Davies, the two founding member of The Kinks. Instead of trying to emulate the sound and vibe of his father’s music...

With a mixture of fuzz and jangle, they have some great songs written and loads more to write. They are currently appearing live at various London and South East venues, come along to a show and say hello.

Suede

Suede (or The London Suede in the United States, although they were often called by their original name by fans in that country) were an English rock band of the 1990s and early 2000s that helped start the Britpop musical movement. Through their several incarnations, they were able to consistently put out albums that charted well, while still holding the respect of critics. Though they never achieved great success in North America, they were considered by some to be as big in the UK in the 90s (at least in terms of popularity) as The Smiths were in the 80s, or Roxy Music in the 70s.

Inter

Inter was a British band active in the late 1990s and closely associated with the post-britpop pop punk scene. The band was formed in late 1995, with the lineup of Michael Boylan, Steven Bray and Johnny Gill. Martin 'Sid' Stovold, who had been helping the band out at rehearsals, joined soon after. The ethic of the band was, from the start, to appear spontaneous on-stage, whilst still being musically tight.

Nizlopi

Nizlopi were a British two man band from Leamington Spa, UK with Luke Concannon (vocals, guitar, bodhran) and John Parker (double bass, beatbox, guitar, backing vocals). They were initially friends who've been writing and playing music together since their early teens. They take their band name from a Hungarian girl that Luke had a crush on at school. Nizlopi gigged relentlessly since the start of the 21st century.
