Naomi Jean
--------------------
Naomi Jean is a singer-songwriter from Melkbosstrand, Cape Town. Her songs reflect her perspective as a storyteller with a clear and authentic sound. Naomi was also the Top 3 songwriters in the 2025 Barleycorn Songwriters Competition, coming 2nd place with her song “Had Him”.
--------------------
The Stremes
--------------------
THE STREMES are a South African rock band formed in London in 2006 by front man Wayne Pauli (vocals and guitar), Benjamin Peacefull (bass and vocals) and Atom Shape (drums and vocals). In early 2006 Wayne recorded some home demos which he placed on MySpace as THE STREMES. These demos were noticed by an indie label publishing house in London and a deal was soon signed with the band. An album was recorded at The Dairy Studios in Brixton called ‘New Digital Romance’ which saw a number of the tracks being placed in various TV shows and a headache pill advert in the USA. After two years and an expired visa Wayne returned home to South Africa and Benjamin followed shortly afterwards in 2008. Wayne and Benjamin continued playing as a duo on the Cape Town music scene and in 2009 the band recorded an album at Sunset Studios in Stellenbosch called ‘Maze of Light’.
After a long hiatus and the Covid lockdown THE STREMES started working again in 2024 and released two tracks ‘ The City Sleeps’ and ‘Got Myself Together’ across all music streaming platforms as well as an official music video on YouTube for The City Sleeps. A heavier third track ‘Overload’ was released in early 2025 and is currently receiving airplay abroad.
THE STREMES are a modern band fusing classic rock sounds and electronic soundscapes. With a diverse range of influences from U2, Nirvana and Oasis to the classic blues rock of the late 60’s. Their sound can be described as widescreen guitar driven rock with melodic and at times heavier elements. “We think of ourselves simply as a rock band in the classic sense and not necessarily belonging to any particular sub-genre like ‘indie’ or ‘hard rock’ etc”. THE STREMES are currently recording new tracks to be released in the upcoming months and filming another music video is in the pipeline. The band is gigging around Cape Town preparing to tour and play at a number of venues and music festivals across the country.

FINTRY, with Terrence Scarr
--------------------
FINTRY : a unique sibling band consisting of Caroline, Julie and Jonny Blundell, together with the gifted violinist Terrence Scarr. Acoustically driven (mostly original) songs with folk, blues, African, celtic and country influences, close harmonies, and beautiful intricate guitar picking.
The Blundells grew up making music together as a family, led by their well- known father Keith Blundell. Over the years they have performed widely at music festivals, in live venues, on TV and radio, both in South Africa and abroad. They have performed individually and together in many different bands in a wide range of
genres.
Caroline plays guitar and banjo and composes much of the material they perform. Jonny plays guitar and dobro and also composes. Julie plays electric bass, and all three of them sing with lots of harmony included.
Terrence is a wonderful violin player, comfortable in folk genres, equally adept at reading and improvising. He was the head of music at Rondebosch Boys High School for many years, and has recently retired.
