Claudy

Claudy is a London-based alternative pop artist and songwriter originally from Geneva, Switzerland, with Turkish roots. Blending introspective themes of growth and change, with infectious alt-pop melodies, she has built momentum both independently and internationally. Early recognition came through a feature with Spinnin’ Records on “Don’t Wait”, amassing over 2 million streams. Her music has been featured on BBC Introducing, BBC 1Xtra, Swiss national radio, Spotify editorial playlists, and Wonderland Magazine. After a year spent creating new material, Claudy is ready to return to the stage with her most confident sound yet.

Fire In Her Eyes

Sisters, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Daniella (Topaz) Livingstone and Natasha Livingstone are Fire In Her Eyes. Blending psych-folk and progressive rock with pop, soulful jazz and world music, they invite you into a rich, immersive world. Their timeless songs feature mesmerising melodies, layered harmonies and thoughtful lyrics exploring oneness and self-discovery. Live, they channel a modern Woodstock spirit with homemade visuals and original artwork. Their debut album Look Into The Sky, produced by Youth (The Verve, Paul McCartney), is out early 2026 on Creation Youth.

Mannequin Flowers

Rooted in the fog of shoegaze, dreampop and postpunk, Mannequin Flowers are Isadora (vocals/guitar), Luca (guitar), Luci (bass) and Huw (drums). Isadora and Luca formed the band over a shared love of 90s shoegaze and 70s post-punk, with Luci and Huw joining soon after. Their 2024 singles Heartbeat and Drunken Carousel earned praise from Earmilk, The Big Takeover, Amazing Radio, and Broken 8 Records, with airplay on Amazing Radio UK and other independent stations across the UK and US. In 2025, they released Validation and Six Words, expanding their sound with darker post-punk textures while continuing to gain support from independent radio and blogs, like Get in Her Ears. Earmilk described their music as “an emotional journey… as if the music is trying to understand what it means to be human.” Their music evokes a sense of danger and unpredictability, moving between shimmering calm and distorted release. Lyrically, they challenge conventional narratives through thought-provoking content on love, anxiety, and modernity.

Joe Rose

Joe Rose is a self-taught, 22-year-old artist based in South London making jazz-inspired pop for you to move to, catchy enough to get in your head and annoying enough to stay there. Built around groovy beats, smooth chords, and sharp melodies, his sound takes influence from Rex Orange County, Benny Sings, Tom Misch, and hard life. He released his debut EP Joe’s Walk Home last year, written from the thoughts and feelings that followed him on the walk back home. With exciting new music on the way in 2026, Joe Rose is continuing to shape a sound that feels effortless, stylish, and fun.

Nose Ghost

Nose Ghost is a four-piece punk and indie rock project that delivers fuzz-driven, high energy riffs. With scratchy vocals, crunchy guitars and the occasional harmonica, they boast a sound that is both nostalgic and a breath of fresh air. Their goal on stage is to get the crowds moshing and moving.
