Line Up

A singer-songwriter whose compositions resonate with authenticity and familiarity, drawing inspiration from his own emotional journeys and everyday moments. Enveloped in melody and rhythm, his lyrics are delivered with warmth and richness by a voice that yields power and grace, lingering with listeners long after the songs end.

Last year Charlie performed on the Main Stage at Godiva Festival alongside Ocean Colour Scene; played at the music-rich HMV EMPIRE in Coventry; appeared as a featured artist for Sofar Sounds; was chosen as BBC Introducing’s Track of the Week with ‘Japonica’, 'Favourite View' and ‘Chasing Rainbows’. He is also due to appear on a soon to be released Channel 4 production filmed next to London Bridge, performing his song ‘Changes’ which proved popular with mentors Sam Ryder and Paloma Faith.

His debut EP ‘Learning to Stay’ was released earlier this year and is gaining traction with listeners from all over the world.

"His music promises to be inspiring and uplifting"

"There are some dark themes amongst the light ones on the new EP... but sonically it’s almost constant sunshine."

"Refreshingly real, honest and uplifting music"

"A beautiful piece of work! Where have you been"

South Social - 5 piece indie rock band + special guest Peggy (The electric ukelele) from Saaaaaf London

Tanya, our singer and songwriter, began writing our songs on a Ukelele in the middle of the lock down capturing her thoughts and feelings in lyrics and songs: We added a metal drummer (Frazer), a mean bassist (Amit) and two power guitarists (Mark & Dan) to become South Social! These songs traverse real life topics like a breakdown of a relationship, fetishization and microaggressions received from men, the one night stands you want to remember (not the ones you want to forget) and your partner’s ex who keeps popping up and liking their Instagram posts.

Having known each other most of their lives, Jamie Stewart and Hannah Elliott didn’t plan on starting a band. However in 2021, after years of writing songs together, they relented, decided their songs where worth sharing and snuck into the studio with producers Jake Cartwright and Karl Ziegler to record their debut EP ‘Big Town’. Their sophomore EP ‘Since July’ followed in May 2023 and marked the duo’s commitment to a nostalgic aesthetic, whimsical lyricism and a dreamy indie-pop sound.

The band’s vulnerable songwriting and Hannah’s ethereal vocal puts them in the same world as contemporary indie-pop/folk acts such as Samia, Phoebe Bridgers and Alvvays. Despite this they are not afraid to reference the music of previous generations, incorporating guitar riffs reminiscent of American Football, Arab Strap inspired drum loops, Blue Nile influenced snare sounds and storytelling akin to John Prine.

The duo have been championed by Radio 1’s Maia Beth and Gemma Bradley, seen placements on Spotify editorial playlists such as ‘The Most Beautiful Songs in the World’, ‘New Music Friday’ (UK and US) and ‘Lyric Therapy’, as well as racking up millions of streams globally. They have toured the UK extensively, playing in venues such as the Usher Hall, Electric Ballroom and Islington Assembly Hall.

Miles Horn is a soulful singer songwriter from South West London. Inspired by the likes of John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne and James Bay, Miles describes his sound as soulful indie rock. Last year he released an EP with a lead single called ‘When Will I Be Good Enough?’ and Miles is not afraid to delve into topics of self worth and navigating change. Last October also saw a trip to Nashville where he was lucky enough to play the original Pindrop night before he headed off to a showcase in New York. 2024 has seen Miles record new material with his band with new music scheduled to be released before the end of the year.
