Sky Larkin

Sky Larkin are Katie Harkin (vocals and guitar), Doug Adams (bass) and Nestor Matthews (drums).
Formed in Leeds, Yorkshire, Sky Larkin began life with long time friends and school mates Katie and Nestor rehearsing in bedrooms and garages before adding Doug to their ranks. From then on, their ascent has been rapid and exhilarating. Refusing to be musically pigeonholed or viewed as a provincial concern, there’s a timeless, international scope to their music, echoing the likes of The Breeders, Violent Femmes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.

Steeleye Span

Steeleye Span formed in 1969 from members of Fairport Convention and out of the ashes of Sweeney's Men creating a distinctive fusion of both British folk with electric rock music. The resulting first version of the band was formed by ex-Fairport bassist Ashley Hutchings and built around two pairs of vocalists, one English, one Irish, Tim Hart and Maddy Prior and Terry and Gay Woods. Rhythm was to be supplied largely by Hutchings' bass, and without drums.

Lady And The Lost Boys

Lady and the Lost Boys are Jonny, Dolby, Annabel, Robin and Slightly. They are from Hampshire, now resident in London. Lady and the Lost Boys put heartfelt lyrics and vocals with instrumentation that encompasses a range of styles, describing themselves (on their MySpace page) as Childrens/Shoegaze/Idol. Annabel sings wizened thoughts as though she's still learning them; thoughts that often swerve into self-confessed teenage logic.
