Line Up

Christian Larsmon is an up and coming independent artist and singer songwriter hailing from Surrey. Having spent the best part of his 20's performing acoustic covers for private events as solo singing guitarist, Christian has moved to London to focus on releasing and performing original material with a goal of getting a manager and getting on the major festival circuit by 2027. During his music career, Christian has opened concerts for major acts including Eric Clapton, Katie Melua, Arthur Brown and The Pretty Things. Christian was recently scouted to sing live on the ITV production 'Romeo and Duet' (episode 2), where he sang an acoustic duet of 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk The Moon. In December 2021, Christian released his first live covers and originals EP called 'Live at Cisbury Road' which can be found on all major streaming platforms and is excited to be performing tracks from his upcoming EP 'Dark Before The Dawn' at New Moon. You can follow and support Christian on Instagram, Facebook and Tik Tok to keep informed about new music and gig dates.

Emerging London 5-piece Artfair erupt with a joyous sound which radiates youthful energy. Successfully navigating the cornerstones of pop and indie rock, driving guitars and syncopated live piano motifs are intertwined with expressive vocals, which soar over the band’s locomotive rhythm section.

Artfair’s eclectic sonic palette derives from their wide variety of influences. Capturing the bark of the Libertines, grooves from old school electronic music, and the poetry of Lorde, they are quickly establishing themselves as a fearless creative force with a proclivity for telling evocative stories.

Since forming on a fresher’s week dance floor in Camden, the band have had a lightning start to their career, releasing two singles which achieved transatlantic radio airplay and strong playlist support, and selling out their debut headline show at The Water Rats.

In these releases, the band display their impressive musicality and stylish songwriting, characterised by huge choruses filled with considerable lyrical depth. Listen out for idiomatic one liners you could stick on a billboard!

The end of 2021 is going to be big for Artfair, with the release of their stadium ready new single ‘Bittersweet’, the return of their dynamic live show headlining touring venue Camden Assembly, and the stunning “Bittersweet” music video.

Undeniably these boys are going places. Are you going to come with them?

Artfair’s anthemic third single “Bittersweet” will be released on all platforms on 22nd October.

Hollie has previously worked with Modest Music and Closer Management, allowing her to gain knowledge and understand different aspects within the world of music. Hollie is an alumni of BIMM, graduating with a BA Honours Degree in Creative Musicianship. Since her graduation, Hollie has solely focused on meeting musicians alike and creating/recording her music. "Hollie has already released four singles that she co-wrote with BROOKFIELD; the first single from the EP was “Love You Better” and she is excited to release many more. Last year Hollie travelled to Nashville to collaborate with some extremely talented writers to complete her album which she hopes to release very soon."

His 1st album ‘Last Milk’, released in 2020, reached #45 on the iTunes alternative charts in Japan and several of his songs have reached #1 on Deezer Top Japan. He plans to release his 2nd album later this year.

Everything was recorded ‘off grid’ to allow the flow of each musician to blend naturally. “we went for the organic, live approach to recording to capture something honest and genuine”. NG The album is out now on all major platforms, including Band Camp!
