Close Keys are a Latin inspired instrumental group whose musical roots are inspired by music of Spain and the classical guitar repertoire. Formed in early 2024, the group was set up by long standing friends and award winning guitarists Kristian Richardson and Will Scott whose aim is to reimagine music of the classical guitar repertoire in their arrangements and write music inspired by the Spanish elements of their classical roots. Close Keys have been gigging and wowing audiences in Surrey and Kent for the last year and are starting to perform more in London. They are planning on self releasing their debut album later in 2025.

Close Keys is a collective made up of two lead guitars, double bass (James Hill) and percussion/drums (Ethan Bonner).

Born and raised in London, Katie Vickers started writing music at 15 after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. This refuge of self-exploration and storytelling has remained an integral part of her life, and her love of music has only continued to flourish since then. Growing up listening to Bob Dylan, Dire Straits and Dolly Parton, her music has evolved into a fusion of folk, country, pop and rock, made all the better by her talented guitarists. With a personal hatred of all things technology-related but a genuine passion for creativity, she is taking her next steps into the ever-evolving music industry, releasing a string of new songs with a fresh sound, and navigating the joys and challenges of content-creation along the way.

London-based folk-pop trio, Parts & Spares, is a perfect blend of acoustic nostalgia and contemporary edge. Founded by lead vocalist Frida Jones, her songwriter and guitarist dad, Luther Jones, and her multi-instrumentalist girlfriend, Kaisha McGroarty, the eccentric family triangle is just one part of their unique charm. Inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, Hozier, Big Thief, Medium Build and Florence and The Machine, they are currently working on original music that is at heart a love letter to trusting your instincts and letting go.

Parts & Spares is currently playing around London and the UK with original tracks from their, work-in-progress, first album as well as covers that have inspired them.

Musician Rosie Smith (22) from Glastonbury is poised for success with the release of her upcoming debut album ‘Face’. She has relished a restless year in which she performed at Glastonbury Festival for the first time and went on tour with Scouting For Girls. Next year is expected to be exceedingly busy for her as we await her album and many more live shows. Signed to label X&Y records, Rosie Smith made her mark with a debut single Breakfast For Dinner Tonight , following that with the live favourite Dirty Harry Rosie, a talented actress, once appeared with David Tenant in Broadchurch. She is influenced by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Lumineers, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish and John Denver and has been described as ' an exceptionally gifted lyricist who writes beautifully pertinent songs that express purpose, intent and meaning." Of her music Rosie says: “I play the guitar, piano, drums and a little bass and trumpet. I love finding obscure ways to play chords and melodic patterns and I am fascinated by harmonies. I would describe my music style as storytelling in a commercial way. I guess it’s folky pop with a twist! "Because of my own life experiences, I hope my music is a kind of self-help guide for other young adults struggling with love, friendship, upheaval and grief.”
