JAMES BRUTE
https://www.facebook.com/
James Brute writes spooked out songs of love, loss and lust and delivers them in a heady mix of acid blues, doom-wop and rock n’roll.
The former frontman of The Brute Chorus released the a cappella single Bury Yourself in 2014 with long-term collaborator Mat Martin. The single got picked up by John Kennedy on XFM and garnered a range of press including the NME.
Shows followed in support of Nadine Shah, Kingsley Chapman and the Murder, John J Presley, Furs and Big Girls alongside legendary basement parties in Homerton under the old Railroad Café.
As the sound became more expansive he began to build his band, now featuring Dave Ferrett (Bass, Vocals & Percussion), Johnny Manning (Keyboards and percussion) and Findlay William Brown (Drums).
“…a must see for anyone with a hankering for bleak-abilly blues.” – NME
GOLDEN SPIKE
https://www.facebook.com/
Golden Spike formed in London in early 2015 and have since have brought their Americana Indie-Pop tunes to venues across town.
Employing multiple lead vocals, three- and four-part harmonies and an irreverent attitude, the band were recently dubbed “Masters of Melodic Yearning” by ForTheRabbits.
Band members are from across the globe (Australia, Northern Ireland, and America) and have shared stages with Wilco, The Handsome Family, Robbie Fulks, Andrew Bird and scores more.

“A tenderness and poignancy, striving towards a musical poetry on a level with Dylan’s” BBC Introducing
“Poignant, melodic indie-folk shot through with melancholy, like a stick of Blackpool rock” Mad Mackerel

BRUDINI
https://www.facebook.com/
Brudini’s music is a soulful, vagabond journey through darkness and light, darkly evoking existentialist and beat traditions.
Multi-instumentalist Brudini has done numerous concerts in London and abroad over the last year, always pushing boundaries in different formats, from conventional full band songs to a cappella, poetry recitations on top of raging jazz drums, bare piano pieces or groovy instrumentals.
‘A real and considered piece of artistry .. by a songwriter whose sound is already his own’
Lost In The Manor
Debut single the Nightcrawler has been played on BBC6, Xfm and playlisted on AmazingRadio.
