Line Up

Potato are a four-human band based between South East London and Margate, England, and are made up of Bob Corduroy (vocals/ guitar/ keys/ clarinet), Matt Wildman (bass/ guitar/ synth), Sam Zissou (drums) and Sam Honey (guitar). Potato’s sound is a rich and hearty blend of wonky Slacker Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz, Opera and smatterings of everything in between, with influences such as Good Morning, Happyness, King Crimson and Phillip Glass.

Formed in 2020, Potato emerged as a response to tumultuous times, harnessing the power of music as both a cathartic outlet and a means of connection. Their synergy as a band is evident not only in their complex compositions but also in their stage presence, captivating audiences with their melodic noise and intricate time signatures. They quickly made their mark within the London indie scene, playing in renowned venues like The Shacklewell Arms, Paper Dress Vintage. The George Tavern and Sebright Arms. In doing so, they’ve successfully cultivated a fervent fan base to their one-of-a-kind sound.

The band's artistic expression resonates with listeners on a profound level, delving into themes of introspection and vulnerability. Their lyrics explore the intricacies of human emotions, addressing topics of insecurity, self-doubt, and the inevitable encounters with failure—but amidst the introspective musings also lies joy, a reserved euphoria rooted in the simplest and darkest of things.

Will Burton is an independent alt-rock artist based in London, UK.


Although his energetic brand of rock music leans on the mainstream hard rock of the 2000s, Burton’s diverse taste in music and ear for melody have moulded and refined his sound into something familiar yet unmistakably unique. With his 4th single “Unemployment” hot off the press and his debut EP “MODERN MISERY” due in summer 2023, Burton is hitting the road once again hell bent on establishing himself as a formidable name in the new UK rock scene. Make no mistakes, Burton is making a lot of noise and it’s only a matter of time before people can’t help but turn their heads and listen.


Burton writes, produces and records all of his music independently in his home studio in West London.

Beth Jakob is a folk/pop singer songwriter from South West London. With simple melodies and raw to the bone lyrics, Beth will take you on a story-telling journey with her music
