Line Up

An emerging Folk Rock artist from South West England.

Ben Hutcheson bridges the storytelling gap between Passenger, Ed Sheeran and Tim McGraw making him an act to look for in the near future.

Starting out from humble beginnings in Bristol, Ben has become a growingly aware and prominent artist to look out for.
His music career started as a young teenager and since then has gone on to play all around the South West of England. He currently resides in Bath where he is currently studying Commercial Music at Bath Spa University. He is currently preparing his 2nd EP and preparing a tour for the summer of 2018. ​ Ben lists many influences that span through many genres and eras but he notes a few extremely influenctial artists ranging from AC/DC, Kenny Chesney, Brother and Bones, Passenger, Guns N' Roses, Ed Sheeran, The Script and more. ​ “Ben Hutcheson, a young singer/songwriter with a wisdom beyond his years. His lyrics tackle universal themes such as love and loss, yet also weave captivating stories, with a contemporary feel. With a warm, rich voice he expresses emotion and authenticity and makes a genuine connection with his audience.” - Julianne Regan (All About Eve)

"Ben Hutcheson’s dark husky growl sings of a world of intimacy and observation. Love, lust and tenderness, haunted dancehalls and broken promises - Ben’s world is weary though alive due to delicacy and romance. From Portishead to Nashville this is music for lovers, vagrants and thieves." - Davey Ray Moore (CousteauX)

Singer, song writer and multi instrumentalist Martyn Peters is now firmly a resident of London, after moving from his native North Wales. After gigging and touring his debut album Veins, released in 2017, he is now writing new music ready for release before the end of the year.

Tracks from his debut album have been played on BBC 6Music by Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio Wales by Adam Walton and numerous international, national and local radio stations such as Radio Caroline, Radio Wigwam, Ridge Radio, Radio Wandsworth, Radio Deeside, Quasar Radio, U and I Radio and Shoreditch Radio.

He has performed support for Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud) performed on the main stage at the FOCUS Wales festival supporting Bill Ryder-Jones and Boy Azooga, supported Tommy Scott (SPACE - Female of the Species) and performed at some of the most iconic music venues in London such as The Half Moon in Putney, The Camden Assembly, The Bedford in Balham and the Dublin Castle.

Plans for 2018/19 include a return to the studio and a U.K Tour.

Castlecombe Drive is a newly formed, london based folk-rock band consisting of long time collaborators James Hall, Charlie Hepburn, Nick Marett, Joey Benstead and Peter Oates. Priding themselves on their ability to combine an honest, authentic songwriting style with anthemic musical arrangements, Castlecombe Drive have quickly come to prove their worth both in an intimate setting and a stage environment.

Having developed a strong catalogue of new music over the last year, the band is eager to showcase exactly what it is they're made of and to begin making their mark as a group to be watched.
