DAN THOMAS

Dan Thomas is a folk singer-songwriter with an unexpected edge. With a background in hard rock and heavy metal, he fuses the grit and passion of punk with the heartfelt storytelling of folk and country. Armed with raw, honest lyrics and a voice that can switch from tender to towering in a heartbeat, his songs feel like late-night confessions set to a campfire soundtrack – with just enough snarl to keep you on your toes.
FLEETING MINDS

Mod/Britpop-flavoured, blending melodic tales with soaring guitar pop. Expect sharp songwriting, big choruses and the kind of classic British guitar sound that feels instantly familiar but still very much their own.
They’ve been quietly creating waves on the independent scene, not just among their unsigned peers, but also catching the attention of seasoned, multi-million-selling artists! This December they step things up another notch, supporting mod legends The Chords in London. Their debut double single, Saying The Last Goodbye and Forever Just A Dream, was mixed and produced by Paul Weller band member Ben Gordelier, who’s also at the helm for their forthcoming debut album Tales of the Mind.
DON’T WAKE THE NEIGHBOURS

Don’t Wake The Neighbours are a seven-piece band playing original rock with influences spanning all across the musical spectrum. Catchy hooks and rich harmonies crash head-on into classic rock guitars and driving drums, creating high energy performances with a reputation for leaving audiences demanding more!
They’ve already clocked up some impressive shows, including sets at O2 Academy Islington, Hoxton Underbelly and The Horn. August 2025 saw the Neighbours release their debut album Welcome To The Neighbourhood with a packed-out launch show at the iconic Half Moon in Putney.
SHARPER SIDE

Turning heads with their signature blend of chuggy hard rock riffs and melodic pop choruses, they deliver the kind of set that feels like discovering your old favourite CD at the back of the drawer – only louder, faster and a lot more chaotic. Uniting noughties nostalgia with modern-day rock and roll mayhem, Sharper Side bring a slice of something heavy to the party!
