MALCOLM BRUCE
Singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Bruce has toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in music including Little Richard, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, and his father the late Jack Bruce of Cream.
Malcolm curated a tribute to his father last October at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with performances by legends such as Lulu, Eddi Reader, Maggie Reilly, Paul Young, Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), Dennis Chambers (Santana, Parliament / Funkadelic) and Ginger Baker (Cream).
He’s recently toured The US, Australia and New Zealand with his side project 'The Music of Cream' featuring special guests Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) and Robben Ford (Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell).
His shows are at once epic and intimate, with a unique approach to song structure and form. His guitar playing is explorative, expressive and passionate. He is fast emerging as a truly original artist on the international scene.

“The lingering guitar riffs, slow and dreamy drum beat and the chilling chant providing yet further evidence of masterful musicianship..” …. www.ambientlightblog.com

JANA
The Slovak-raised singer-songwriter based in London released her debut EP ‘Lanterns’ in September 2019. She presented her blend of soft rock, folk pop with hints of country, all tied together with her pure vocals. Her music has been compared to ‘'well-traveled folk of Paul Simon with the intimacy of Tracy Chapman’’ (Folk & Honey). Having lived away from her birthplace for a long time, she often sings about leaving or finding home.

ECHO WANTS HER VOICE BACK
Actress and singer-songwriter whose style has been described as folk noir, and whose experimental sound has been compared to PJ Harvey and Bjork. In November 2015, after a successful crowdfunding campaign, she self-released her debut album entitled “Heart of Stone”, which was inspired by her refugee father’s emotional pain caused by the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. This led to a prime slot performance at 2016's SXSW, festivals and radio play. Recent releases include ballads "Laisse-Moi", and "Quicksand".
EWHVB credits Echo and Narcissus, their dysfunctional love and the latter’s timely death, as her main sources of inspiration for her stage name
