Gwyneth Herbert
“Her voice is a thing of beauty” - The Times
Gwyneth Herbert is a strikingly original performer, award-winning composer and lyricist and versatile musical adventurer who continues to redefine and challenge expectations. Drawing on influences from the worlds of jazz, folk, contemporary classical music and storytelling, she has worked in collaboration with writers, musicians, directors, choreographers, visual artists, academics, clowns and young people to create a huge canon of genre- defying interdisciplinary work, as well as touring nationally and internationally with her band and releasing six critically albums to date on major, independent and self-owned labels.
“A remarkably gifted talent” - The Guardian
2018 sees the launch of her ambitious and hugely anticipated seventh album and live show, Letters I Haven’t Written, songs from which she recently previewed in session for BBC Radio 2 and live from the Edinburgh Festival on BBC Radio 3. Gwyneth describes the project as "a musical, narrative and visual journey exploring the lost art of letter writing. Through blots of heartbreak, strokes of curiosity and scribbles of whimsy, Letters... unearths the emotional complexities of putting pen to paper, and, in a climate of status updates and limited characters, seeks to find a more meaningful dialogue with the world”.

Noemie Ducimetiere
Singer, multi-instrumentalist, film score composer, Noemie Ducimetiere is known to captivate rooms with her incendiary voice and entrancing sound. She is an experimental rock artist with an affinity for folk music and sacred chants from around the world and an obsession with distortion pedals and delay units.
She released a first album in 2012 with genre-defying posse of rascals ‘Gentle Mystics’, which combined theatrical psychedelic rock with bass-fuelled electronica. They toured Europe extensively, and are currently recording a second album.
Last year Noemie scored the music to multi international award nominated feature documentary 'Another News Story’. Since its world premiere at Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2017 it is set to hit London cinemas in April 2018 with screenings at the Frontline Club and Picturehouse Central.
While she forges her first solo album in her Cable Street studio, expect to find her on stages nationwide this year.
