Paul-Ronney Angel and his family of superbly talented musical miscreants have spent the last 16 years bringing the bible-black and blood-red music they call Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop'n'Stroll to the people!
They have released several critically acclaimed and award winning albums and toured with the likes of The Pogues and New York Dolls. They’ve played Glastonbury, Download, Latitude, Bestival & festivals all over Europe.
They have also hosted their legendary Gypsy Hotel Club parties as a regular monthly event in London with stopovers in Berlin, New Orleans, Paris and Oslo whilst keeping a busy UK and European touring schedule.
“Mariachi-influenced blues, whiskey-soaked country rags and punkabilly-style rave-ups”

Katie O'Malley:
A voice that pours with emotion and fills a venue, Katie O'Malley and her hip-swaying Americana band have played across the UK. Hailing from Manchester and proud northerners, they describe their sound as mix of country, folk, soul & blues. Their 70's inspired music takes you on a journey of mournful melody to punchy beats and gravelly powerful vocals.
Together, they have received airplay from Amazing radio USA, BBC Introducing, supported top ten album selling Beth Rowley and have won BCA Country Artist of the Year 2019. Although 2020 has had many set-backs for artists it's not stopped Katie from releasing new music with the release of her third E.P ‘Wild West' and new single 'Taste the Dirt' being backed by Chris Country Radio, Louder Than War and BCMA.

Geese:
“A gleeful ram-raid of 20th Century Popular Music”
Formed around 2015 from the carcasses of various bands from around their native Lancashire, guitarist Matt Gerrard, drummer Chris McKendrick and bassist Lewis Hill call Geese “an experiment in time-travelling genre-fluidity.” Their collective musical background covers everything from Math-rock to retro Hip-Hop, via New Orleans Jazz and big-band RnB, and they’re dipping toes in every aesthetic they can find along the way, trying to distill the ever- elusive “familiar yet new” sounds hiding in-between them.
Their debut EP “Fierce Brosnan” (2016) Gleefully bounds over everything from jittery Gypsy jazz, through swooning 50s pop and bristlingly soulful 60s garage rock. Their 2020 full length album “Something For The Weakened” dabbles in quirky delta blues, jazzy folk, spiky New Wave and Queen-esque ornate prog-pop with seemingly wilful disregard for their audience’s ability to categorise them as one style or another. To further confound this, the band have been known to record and perform songs in-character as their fictional musical “influences,” to bolster their time-travelling shtick.

Mike West:
Bastard Country Music Artist. Not Country Enough. Not Blues Enough. Not Folk Enough. Too Heavy... A call to arms for those open minded folks who don't care about genre. They care about music.
