CHARLOTTE OC
Charlotte OC has long been celebrated for her ability to craft emotionally charged, cinematic music. Previously signed to Universal, she released two albums and built a devoted fanbase, earning acclaim for her darkly enchanting vocals and storytelling.
Born to an Irish father and a half-Indian, half-Malawian mother, the Blackburn-raised artist has endured the highs and lows of the music industry, from being signed to a major label at 18 to carving out her own path after being dropped.
Following years of personal and professional turmoil—including the loss of her father—she returned home, reclaiming both her identity and her music, resulting in her newly released EP ‘Seriously Love, Go Home’.
Her music—equal parts grit and grace—channels influences ranging from Patti Smith’s rock and roll spirit to Amy Winehouse’s unfiltered candor, all while maintaining a sound uniquely her own.
MAN CASSIDY
Man Cassidy is a singer-songwriter from Somerset who plays progressive/psychedelic folk music, including original and traditional tunes with a quiet yet dense playing style. His music has a detail for shifting, strange harmonies, as well as esoteric lyricism.

ABOUT SOWND AFFECTS
Did you know, a staggering 1 in 3 is noise sensitive? This includes individuals who are hard of hearing, neurodivergent (e.g. ADHD, autism), over 50, or living with conditions such as misophonia.
Paper Dress Vintage was shortlisted as one of four Hackney grassroots music venues to be upgraded as part of a borough wide initiative to make Hackney the first audio inclusive borough. Now, those of you in our community who are sensitive to noise can comfortably enjoy our space and our live music events.
This is thanks to Marion Marincat, a noise sensitive Hackney resident, and his company Sownd Affects – a pioneering initiative who are on a mission to help businesses make audio inclusive changes so that people who are noise sensitive can enjoy social spaces and experiences without the intrusion of excessive noise.
The upgrade has been funded by the Arts Council England and facilitated by Oscar Acoustics.
