Line Up

Benny Elom is a London-based R&B and soul artist, songwriter and guitarist. Born in Italy with Ghanaian roots, his music brings together a wide range of influences, from soul, R&B and alternative R&B to gospel, Highlife and Afrobeats.

His songwriting is rooted in honest experiences, emotion and storytelling, with a particular connection to the tradition of African storytelling. Benny uses music to explore love, relationships, identity, growth and the different experiences that shape us, while keeping a strong focus on melody, feeling and musicianship.

Guitar plays an important role in his sound, often sitting at the heart of his songwriting and live performances. Whether stripped back with just his voice and guitar or with a fuller arrangement, Benny aims to create music that feels intimate, soulful and genuine.

Matty Long is releasing his long awaited first EP.

The Putney native Singer Songwriter has been gigging around London since the age of 17 and is playing his second home the Half Moon for the launch of his first EP “Ruby Funk”.

Matty will be recording the live set, so audience members will be a little part of history and on Spotify forever. (So please lots of heckling).

Melodies of mirages; music of bodies and shipwrecks.

After her first EP, Agua, which was more organic and acoustic, Mélys For Once's second EP, to be released on 26 April, is tinged with indie-folk tones, sometimes even leaning towards rock. Navigating between English and Spanish, her soft, husky voice takes us to those precious moments when the mind wanders and is carried away by melancholy. Her floral folk opens the door to a world where acoustics and electronics merge to make way for other sounds, in solo, duo or quartet. A musical setting where singer-guitarist-composer Mélys draws her lyrics from the emotions and sensations that the organic world makes her feel.

Lileth is an upcoming, poetic singer-songwriter from East London. Influenced by Burt Jansch, Carol King, James Taylor and Tom Odell, she has found her own charismatic, story telling sound… Her lyricism delves deeply into topics of grief, loss, love and life. Her unique vocal style being deep, woody, raw and almost siren like.. With her artistry she hopes to bring solace and comfort to those of whom have experienced these raw and harrowing emotions. Her music bridging the gap regarding emotional vulnerability and authentic connection in our ever so past paced world.
