Alex Gibson

Alex Gibson has rightly earned his reputation as one of London’s hardest working and most exciting musical acts. The Australian born singer-songwriter built a loyal following in his home country before dropping everything and buying a one-way ticket to London. Since landing he has been developing a new sound based on his dramatic shift into the eye-opening new life of living, breathing and touring around Europe and most recently, Sweden. He has performed at multiple iconic London venues including The 100 Club, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, OMEARA and more. 

His real and raw delivery has been described as a “mix between Pop, Soul and Folk”. Alex cites Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles among his musical influences, alongside modern-day stars such as John Mayer, Sean Mendez and Coldplay.  Late 2019 saw the first of a series of brilliant new single releases, “Heartbeats”, “Spirit Girl” and just due for release in February - “Searching:, with his latest EP eagerly anticipated later this year.

Edmund Jeffery

Edmund Jeffery uses percussive guitar playing and soulful melodies to depict genuine stories of a North London, Singer-Songwriter. His recently released album 'Perspective’ was celebrated with a special headline show last summer at Pizza Express Holborn and its a pleasure to host Edmund again. The Album is one to look out for and appreciate, following the success of previous singles 'Low' and 'Moving' which reached the top ten in the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. This has lead to regular solo performances in Italy, Poland, Germany, Estonia and Lithuania and the UK.

Scott McFarnon

Scott McFarnon has been nominated for a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe and has previously collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry including Beyonce, Mark Ronson and Daniel Merriweather with the hit version of "Red". Scott is now launching his solo career, introducing his incredible voice and unique sound with his forthcoming EP, Crazy Heart due to be released in February. The EP has been produced and recorded by producer of the moment Rob Kirwan, known for his work with U2, Flood and most recently Hozier's hit "Take Me To Church”. 

Alice Pisano

Singer/songwriter Alice Pisano had one of the brightest entrances to the scene late last year with her beautiful debut ‘Celebrate Life’. Picking up immediate support on numerous high-profile Spotify playlists as well as critical acclaim from a number of online tastemakers and BBC Radio London, 'Celebrate Life’ - released with no label or backing - has since amassed 900k streams.  Blessed with a uniquely warm and silky voice, Alice had previously released her own interpretation of the Counting Crows’ single “American Girls”, receiving praise from the band themselves through social media. Moving into 2019 Alice looks ahead to the release of her ‘Celebrate Life’ EP, produced by Ian Barter (Dermot Kennedy, Izzy Bizu, Rhys Lewis). The debut body of work features fresh material including latest single ‘Lost You In The Crowd’.
