Beer and Busking for War Child UK Feat. Cornelis Gerard // Cosima Bellamacina // James Boyd //+ More

Cornelis is a Dutch-Irish Indie-Rock artist based in North London that writes songs about daily life in gritty and glorious detail. Whether aggressive, introspective, silly or serious, Cornelis tells the true stories we all recognise from our own lives. Despite failing music in school Cornelis learned to play the guitar with the ambition to write his own songs. After moving to London he immersed himself in the local music scene and found the experience of living in the city provided ample inspiration for writing lyrics. Cornelis combines lyrical storytelling in the tradition of artists like The Streets and Jarvis Cocker with diverse musical influences ranging from Rock, Jazz and Hip-Hop to New-Wave and Post-Punk. Releasing both a Trap and Jazz version of ‘Broken’ exemplifies his motto “True Stories + Living Music”.

Cosima Bellamacina is a London based singer-songwriter. Inpsired by her love of writing at the piano. Her style is versatile and she has writtten music in English and Italian – with her recent release È La Vita. She hopes to give something a little different that hasn’t been heard before.

James Boyd is an English musician who mixes a deep rock vocal with his folksy style of music. In his writing, he’s interested in matters of the heart, often writing about feeling lost in life and love. Day to day James can be seen performing on the Southbank as a busker, in pubs and round London’s many hotspots. His recent self produced 5 song album ‘Into Pieces’ is available on all streaming platforms.
