Daisy Chute
------------
Scottish/American singer-songwriter Daisy Chute has found a loyal following through her award-winning songwriting and jaw-dropping vocals. Receiving the FATEA EP of 2022 award for 'Songs of Solace', Daisy followed up with her latest EP 'Maiden, Mother, Crone' - recorded with Anneliese Shaw at Grand Chapel Studios in Bedfordshire and launched in April 2023. Regularly selling out shows across the UK, Daisy can be spotted with a guitar or banjo in hand at top arts venues like Kings Place, London and Stables, Milton Keynes and festivals including Black Deer, Bristol Folk, Cambridge Folk and Glastonbury.
Possessed with a "gorgeous voice" (Guy Garvey, Elbow) and recognised as a ‘committed, professional and creative songwriter’ (Sir Ray Davies, The Kinks), Daisy and her original music features regularly on radio and television - BBC Radio London, Scotland, Ulster, BBC 1/2/3, ITV, C4, Sky and across global Caffe Nero playlists, but you may have heard her on many an advert, soundtrack and band album too without even realising.
Credits range from TV favourites like ITV's 'Endeavour' and David Attenborough documentaries to film soundtracks like 'Yesterday' and 'Shaun the Sheep' movies. For fans of games you may have heard her sing in Simlish or play banjo for EA Games' The Sims 4 or heard her backing vocals for iconic band albums such as Radiohead 'A Moon Shaped Pool' and Justice's Grammy-winning 'Woman Worldwide'.
As a teenager, Daisy was also a founding member and featured vocalist in the Classical Brit nominated band All Angels regularly performing at venues such as Royal Albert Hall, O2 Arena and even Wembley Stadium for the Champions League finals.
When she's not touring or in the studio, Daisy loves songwriting and collaboration and is a regular on Chris Difford's retreats where she gets to rub shoulders and collaborate with musical legends like Beth Nielsen Chapman, Judie Tzuke, Donna Taggart and Jamie Lawson. She is also currently co-writing a musical about witch trials entitled 'Coven' due to be premiered in the next year.
“one of the best live Folk Music experiences currently available” - TM, Fatea Magazine
“a voice like the first rays of sunlight through a Paris window, it’s pure and bright and warming… Everything that she touches oozes class” – Gavin McNamara (Bristol 24/7)
“Absolutely superb. Captivating… The atmospheric London’s on Fire richly deserves the widest possible audience.” - Paul Sexton (Billboard, BBC Radio 2, Sunday Times).

Tom Dibb
------------
You may already know Tom from previous Bear Club appearances, or from the popular Campervan Live Lounge and Chapel Dog Live music series he runs, but if you haven't heard him yet - get set for a beautifully gutsy performance!
Tom tells his stories with undertones of blues, roots and folk, grown through a forest of soaring acoustic goodness. Now with two full-length albums under his belt, Tom has found his sound, supported by an ever-growing loyal fan base who follow him not only across his home turf in the UK, but also across the globe.
Tom has successfully spread his music far and wide with a very organic style, playing and singing at every available opportunity - from street corners and living rooms, to full band gigs on big stages. A love for his trade means his sights are set on 'keeping it real' while achieving as much as he can.

Hannigan (Liam)
------------
Hannigan is a travelling singer-songwriter. True to his English-Irish roots, he has created a unique sound only identifiable as his own – acoustic soulful folk with distinct influences of carefree surf rock.
His earnest and anecdotal writing style carries you like a backpack on an adventure; a journey of heartache, hope, and healing. Eyes will well, feet will tap, and heads will bop. After four years in the making, Hannigan is preparing to share his upcoming album. Soon he leaves for Australia so this might be one of the last chances to see him in the U.K. for a while.
