Juliet & Nanette

Juliet & Nanette are a London-based trio: Juliet (piano and vocal), Nanette (cello), and Adrien (percussion).

Juliet’s songs are sad, beautiful, and dark, and her singing emotional, raw, and passionate. Nanette’s cello threads its bittersweet richness through these heartbreaking stories of loss.

These are sad songs for bad times.

“Juliet & Nanette have fashioned a sound and practically their own sub-genre. It is based on Juliet’s jazz-infused piano style and Nanette’s rich, lyrical cello playing, topped off by Juliet’s smoky, heartbroken voice. The songs tend to be characterised by a large portion of melancholy both in the rueful qualities of the melodies and the generally tragic themes of broken relationships that dominate their lyrics.” — Neil March, Trust the Doc

Chris Fox

Award winning singer songwriter Chris Fox is an independent musician and Loop station chemist who has worked his way through the Cambridge music scene the past few years, each year acclaiming greater presence at an increasing number of stages and festivals, including Cambridge Folk Festival. His music reflects thought provoking topics and humorous insights on life with deep powerful vocals and varied and eclectic guitar styles that span the roots lexicon of Americana, Folk, Country and Blues.

"Chris Fox is the best singer songwriter I have heard in a long time” Steve Jackson BBC Cambs Dec 2019

"Chris Fox may be a new name for a lot of people but I don't think it will stay that way for long. Hard to pin down his music ranges across folk, certainly, but with blues, Americana and and rock 'n roll influences. With very accessible songs about people who never quite get the breaks in life he sparkles on stage, this was a great set. His Album 'From the Shadows' is superb” Tony Birch FATEA at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival 2019
