Line Up

Kidsun is a project bringing epic pop songs, rock guitars, and electronic production sensibilities together, creating an altogether new sound for the 2019 scene.

Ask any of Tom Bertram’s 100,000+ Twitter followers and you’ll find out that he is a British singer-songwriter from Portsmouth in the UK.

He started his online following from posting songs to YouTube and things went from there. After suffering a heart attack, Tom had a pacemaker inserted at age 17. Tom has stated he suffered severe anxiety attacks after the attack and turned to music to help him cope with the anxiety. He then started to write his own music. Tom released an acoustic EP titled ‘Wasting Time’ and then just carried on going.

By 2013 Tom had started to be noticed by some well established artists and started being asked to perform at backstage parties, performing for Noel Gallagher, Bryan Adams , Joss Stone, James Morrison and Ocean Colour Scene amongst others.

He also performed at The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration and the premiere of the Twilight movie.

His 2nd ‘official’ batch of recordings came in the shape of a 7 song mini album called “Back Home” and was produced by Tim Bradshaw, an established producer and musician who has worked with acts such as John Mayer, David Gray, Ronan Keating and Afro Celt Sound System amongst others, and was released on Feb 2nd 2013.

The album received over an impressive 20,000 downloads in 5 days and peaked at No.1 in the Reverb Nation UK Charts and 42 in the Reverb Nation Worldwide charts.

His latest album ‘Dig To Locate’ was released on July 2nd 2015. The album is Tom’s first full LP, consisting of 10 tracks all co-written and produced with Tim Bradshaw.

Three tracks from the album ‘Not Leaving Here’ ‘World At My Feet’ and ‘Burning Bridges’ have all had radio play on various stations including the BBC and Tom has been interviewed and has played live on both BBC and independent radio around the country

‘Burning Bridges’ was featured on The Mark Forrest Show as a BBC Introducing track, which was aired on 39 BBC Station across the UK, with an estimated 43.8million listeners.

The following day ‘Burning Bridges’ was one of the Top Songs on the UK iTunes and ‘Dig To Locate’ was No.1 in the Reverb Nation UK Charts. Tom's single from the album 'World At My Feet' went straight to No 1 in the Unsigned Top Charts and spent over two months there.

In October 2017 Tom released his single 'Mr Lucky' which went to No.49 in the iTunes Pop Charts, making him the only unsigned artist in the top 200 at that point.

Olive Haigh is a British singer-songwriter and auto-harpist. Her hauntingly powerful music is beguiling, arresting and completely unique. Having co-founded (with cellist Charlotte Jaffer and singer Chaz Easingwood) the ghost-folk band Girls Cry Wolf, Olive embarked on a solo career. She began to write dark folk songs inspired by the gothic portraits she was immersed in creating as part of her undergraduate degree and, in 2014, released the experimental EP Monsters with producer Arthur Cunnington. She went on to release a series of acclaimed singles such as Pebble People and Secret Cupboard Waltz. Over recent years, Olive has supported Michael Chapman and Neil Halstead, and has toured the South West - playing everywhere from The Arts House Cafe and The Old Bookshop in Bristol to Boardmasters, The Poly (Falmouth) and Port Eliot. Her brilliant new single Emma was released a few days ago and her next EP will be produced by the legendary producer Charlie Francis (High Llamas, R.E.M.) and is due for release in spring/summer 2019.

A Rock singer songwriter, but not as you know it.

Combining the rock music of his youth, the songwriting chops of modern wordsmiths such as Frank Turner and Brian Fallon, and the grit and passion of Springsteen, Tim Brooks is starting to kick up a buzz around the London and surrounding areas.

Expect reference heavy, smart wordplay, gritty and passionate vocals, and a techy, unique style of guitar playing.

Equally comfortable in a full band setting, or an intimate acoustic show, Tim Brooks is able to bring a unique sense of energy to every performance.

Raised in the wilds of central Kentucky, London-based singer-songwriter Grace Binford picked up her father’s for-ten-years-neglected guitar at age 13 and taught herself to play by ear. Having spent her childhood in classical piano lessons and in her parents’ living room listening to the likes of Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, James Taylor, and Crowded House, she began to write her own music as a means of attempting to process and connect with the world outside.
