Line Up

Dan’s People are a sharp four-piece Indie Pop band from Wales.

Combining Dan’s hauntingly beautiful lyrics with soaring four-part harmonies, acoustic guitar and heavy fuzz bass solos— they are fast gaining a cult like following in the Welsh festival circuit.

Dan’s People have recently been awarded BBC Launchpad funding to finish their keenly awaited debut album “The Visitors”, which was recorded on location in an old Rectory in Wales and the world-renowned Lucky Recording Studios in San Francisco.

Dan’s People return each year to drummer Gemini’s Californian roots and have played the iconic Hotel Utah in San Francisco, Pappy and Harriet’s (Joshua Tree Desert), Heavenly Funk Festival (Santa Cruz) and the Elephant in the Room (Sonoma County).

With Dan on lead guitar and vocals, Gemini as co-vocalist and drummer, Jenny on Mellotron, flute, tambourine and vocals and Fflur on the fuzzy bass and vocals- enjoy the unique sound of Dan’s People.

In summer 2025 expect to ‘dance as hard as you weep’ with Dan’s People at Green Gathering, Devauden, Blue Lagoon, and Coedffest, as they build up to their album launch.

Meet PIEN, this Dutch indie powerhouse is making waves from London/Amsterdam with a sound that's a captivating mix of honest, confrontational lyrics and irresistible melodies. PIEN is set to become your new favourite artist if you love the likes of Maggie Rogers, Kacey Musgraves, or Suki Waterhouse.
