Line Up

Clair Thompson's is the solo project of singer/songwriter Chiara Brogi. Her sound mixes elements of alternative pop like Olivia Rodrigo and disco pop like Dua Lipa with the sophistication of songwriting greats like Halsey and Hayley Williams. Clair started her career on social media, becoming more and more popular by developing a real passion for music and cinematography. She directed, produced, and edited all of her videos on YouTube. Her previous releases, "Audrey" and "Wish I Was Too," have garnered almost 20k streams and have been featured on iHeart radio. "Hot Hot Hot" is her new release that talks about two people that keep on chasing each other despite having moved on after their first breakup but also talks about the difficulties in saying "no" when the attraction between the two people is still strong.

A Warwickshire-based singer-songwriter, Tommy kick started his career in 2021 when he wrote some tracks during lockdown, recorded them in a friend's bedroom and released them as a debut EP called 'Boy Yeah'. 2 of the tracks on there got multiple plays on BBC Introducing and he then played a breakthrough gig at the Water Rats in Kings Cross in 2022.

2 more EPs followed in 2023 and 2024 with further plays on BBC Introducing as well as recognition from Fresh on the Net. Tommy headlined Hope & Anchor in Islington in November 2024 and is looking forward to more live performances in 2025. This write up from Jack Savoretti captures his essence:

“Tommy Hodgson's songwriting has the essence of great Americana songwriters such as Jeff Tweedy, but what makes it unique is that it’s steeped in the English folk tradition with just a pinch of British punk to leave you feeling like you’ve never heard anything like this before. I love it”

Harry Pentony is a Pop Rock/Indie Singer songwriter from Leicester UK. Whilst working on 'Our City Fires' and other projects, Harry expanded his musicianship as a vocalist and drummer taking a leap forward into the solo world as an individual artist. Influences come from the likes of U2, Coldplay, Sam Fender, Holly Humberstone, Kings of Leon, the 1975, The Killers just to name a few...

Harry has found his voice within the pop/rock music category having released his first single ‘Sense of Clarity’ back in 2020 over the lockdown period. This achieved immediate radio airplay on the BBC Introducing East Midlands show with ‘Dean Jackson’, who picked the release up within 24 hours of sending the record.

Since then, Harry has been seen performing live as a solo artist from 2022, incorporating a unique blend of percussive elements and live looping into his solo acoustic performances.

Currently, Harry continues to perform live actively within the UK expanding his fan base performing at renown venues such as HMV Empire in Coventry supporting the likes of 'Tom Walker' on his album tour of 'I AM' as well as being featured on the BBC Introducing stage at last years Motofest in the West Midlands and Godiva Festival in Coventry as well as branching out into the London scene...
