Line Up

From the hustle and bustle of South London, Bea Maher's musical journey began as a fusion of the vibrant sounds and eclectic cultures that surrounded her. Influenced by the soulful rhythms pulsing through the city and inspired by the storytelling prowess of legendary artists such as Amy Winehouse, Lianne La Havas and Cleo Sol, Bea found her voice in the heart of funk and soul.

Drawing from the raw emotionality, the soulful melodies and the infectious grooves of her Artistic inspirations, Bea forged her own path, crafting a sound that is uniquely her own. With each lyric and chord, Bea offers an envelope of emotion, inviting listeners into a world of love, passion, and introspection.

At the core of Bea's music lies a commitment to authenticity and vulnerability. Her songs serve as windows into her soul, exploring the complexities of human connection with a candidness that is both refreshing and relatable. From the whispers of desire to heart-wrenching heartbreak, Bea's storytelling resonates with audiences on a deeply personal level.

Having studied at the British Institute for Modern Music and honing her craft, It is on the stage where Bea truly comes alive. With a magnetic presence and an infectious likeability, she commands the spotlight, captivating audiences with her soulful voice and dynamic performances. Whether backed by a full band or armed with nothing more than her guitar, Bea's live shows are a testament to the power of music. This is a journey you will want to come along for.

Jacob Coley is an Alt-Rock artist based in Manchester. His sensitive introspective songwriting meets his band’s expansive and atmospheric sound; reminiscent of Ben Howard, Coldplay and The War on Drugs.

Indie-rock outfit The Rackets began playing London’s live-music circuit while still underage. They have since headlined iconic venues such as Camden Assembly, The Fiddler, and The Amersham Arms. The band released their debut single ‘I Don’t Mind’ in 2022, followed by the self-produced ‘Back in a Minute’ in July 2023 and Pictures for Posers in April 2024. Their music combines the raw guitar of The Libertines and the early days of The Strokes while drawing on indie influences like Courteeners and The Maccabees. With a heap of new music on the horizon, The Rackets are here to stay.

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.
