Line Up

HONEYBUZZARD are rapidly snowballing into a band that cannot be ignored. Having garnered a devoted cult following due to their intense live performances, the band have cut their teeth on the live circuit, before releasing their first two singles ‘Whiplash’ and ‘Ribcage’ which received huge praise from fans and critics alike. The band have headlined sold out shows at venues such as WhereElse? in Margate, Ramsgate Music Hall, Notting Hill Arts Club, The Penny Theatre, The Booking Hall and 93 Feet East, establishing and growing a devoted fanbase. Here’s what the critics have had to say about one of indie music’s hottest properties:

Indiecore Magazine - Crowned HONEYBUZZARD as Band Of The Month for June 2025

BBC’s Abbie McCarthy - “This is a band that is quite simply, phenomenal”

Socket Magazine - “Ribcage by HONEYBUZZARD is a hell of a journey from start to finish. Demonstrating the band’s raw talent that will undoubtedly fling them into success.”

PitJunkie Magazine - “HONEYBUZZARD are a band with a tendency to take you on an audio-spiritual journey, and make it look easy in the process. Without question one of the most exciting up and coming bands on the scene today”

The Beyene Affair are a Brighton-based indie soul trio who also blend the smooth inflections of jazz, hip hop, psychedelia and world music. Formed through a tangle of mutual friends and late-night jams, their music is a reflection of their outlook —born not from ambition, but from a genuine love of sound and connection.

Rooted in Brighton’s vibrant and eclectic grassroots scene, The Beyene Affair draw inspiration from the city's coastal energy and alternative spirit. Their genre-blurring style speaks to an audience hungry for authenticity, rhythm, and a touch of the unexpected. Whether in a dimly lit venue or an open-air concert, their sound invites you in and keeps you swaying.

Mike burst onto London’s indie scene after moving to the city in 2007 with Official Secrets Act, later evolving into CITIZENS!. Since then, he’s lent his signature touch to working with Shock Machine, Alpines, Sasami and FRANZ FERDINAND — moving effortlessly between drums, keys and musical direction.

EDISON is his latest project, fusing soulful melodies, rich harmonies and stories of the head and heart with the drive of Hitsville USA.

Mica Bernard (Pron Mee-sha) is an Indie Singer-songwriter whose powerful and warm vocal breathes a soulfulness into her folky sound. Sunny yet stirring her lyrics are honest and invite you into a relatable, witty and heartfelt space. Taking influence from the likes of  KT Tunstall, Lianne la Havas, Joan Armatrading and Florence and the Machine. Mica has a background in delivering therapeutic music sessions to NICU’S (Neonatal Intensive Care Units) and they constantly inspire her to create music that connects people. As a performer Mica exudes a cool calmness that is captivating to watch. "My music is taken to the next level when you see and hear it performed live. I sing about race, love, identity, change and through all of these moments we have in life there is nothing more powerful than connection. This is why as an artist it is my priority to perform live.” Mica released her debut single ‘It’s like’ last November and since then has released two more singles, ‘Tom and Jeriatric’ and ‘Open Spaces’. Her debut EP is on the way and is set for release in April 2026.
