NATASHA GILBERT

Natasha Gilbert (they/them) is an alt-folk musician inspired by the warm open strings of Ruti and ethereal vocals of London Grammar. Though they belt from the depths of a burning world, with strong undertones of blues haunting their melodies, their songs gently sow seeds for uprisings.
CHARLIE ALLEN

Charlie Allen (they/them) is a Fingerstyle Guitarist from Brighton who blends Jazz, Folk, & Classical influences in a harmonic crucible of melody, creating enchanting soundscapes rich with vulnerability and cathartic release.
Their fusion of styles has allowed them to tell their life through the medium of sound, creating stories with each song that guides you on a long-winding road as you discover the tale of each melody


HORSE OF THE YEAR

Brighton-based Horse of the Year are a folkish five-piece, offering up vocal harmonies, piano and a lick of indie guitar.
Horse of the Year are David, Sam, Jo, Dan and David. Formed through self-imposed musical retreats in Pembrokeshire, the band plays original material written by its members, with influences ranging from 70's folk/rock through 90's indie.


KOLLAB FEEDBACK

"Wanted to say thank you for a really lovely open mic last night. This morning was the first time I have woken up feeling joyful without and dread dreams in the night for about two weeks. You created a really safe space and welcoming event. Loved your poems and they way you perform them is so engaging and absorbing. Marvellous. Thank you"


"Kollab last night was fab, and you hold the space in such a lovely, relaxed, friendly, helpful, kind, and yet still very organised (!) way. Also, amazing poetry! I've never been to anything like that before. I enjoyed it so much I will definitely be aiming to come to more"
