Line Up
Formed in 2018, A.R.T have quickly started storming the London indie music scene with their incredible live shows and catchy songs that’ll get the shy guy at the back of the room chanting! A.R.T has an exciting unique live style that will make a small room feel like a stadium!
The Members of the band that was quoted “Bowie meets the Killers” by KISS FM, include Alfie Clayton (Guitar/ Lead Vocals/ Percussion), Jon Proudfoot (Sax/ Synths), Scott Gordon (Drums/ Champion Guinness drinker), Bradley Allen (Guitar).
Inspired by bands such as the Rolling Stones, Blues Brothers, Sticky Fingers, and the funky routes of The B52’s and Madness, A.R.T aim to find new ways to approach the Indie/ Alternative Rock genre but also bring back the energetic passion modern music has lost in recent years.
Don’t Wake the Neighbours are a 7 piece band who play original rock music with influences from all across the musical spectrum.
Their catchy hooks and harmonies mixed with classic rock guitars and drums create a great sound that is sure to get you (and the neighbours) jumping.
Marianne Leigh, an indie-pop artist based in London, honed her craft during her formative years in New Zealand. Her songs, heartfelt and confessional, capture the highs and lows of young adulthood with a blend of pop, indie, rock, and alternative influences.
Fans of Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Maisie Peters will connect with Marianne’s anthemic tunes and captivating vocals. Guided by mentors Jamie McDell and platinum artist Bic Runga, she has made notable appearances on New Zealand television.
After a successful headline tour in New Zealand, Marianne has returned to London’s vibrant music scene. Currently releasing a selection of her singles from her forthcoming EP, BBC Introducing picked up her May 2024 single, ‘ordinary’.
In the red room, the floors bend backwards.
Mannequin Flowers are a London four-piece putting their own stamp on the shoegaze and post-punk revival. Drawing on the dream-pop atmospherics of Cocteau Twins and the grit of the ‘90s underground, they balance big guitar textures with a melodic core that makes their songs stick.
Fronted by singer-guitarist Isadora, with Luca on guitar, Luci on bass and Huw on drums, the band came together in late 2023 and quickly built a live following at venues such as The Victoria, Dash the Henge, and Old Blue Last. Their sets lean into intensity but never loses sight of hooks, giving them crossover appeal beyond the shoegaze scene
