ABOUT THE ACTS
CHRYSANTHS
Chrysanths is the Glasgow-based singer and composer Emily Scott.
Scott’s main drive is beauty and lyricism before fashion, mood and sense of place before feelings, and she has been described simulataneously as out of her time, and timeless.
PAUL MCDANIEL
Paul McDaniel is a Northern Irish comedian with an act that CHORTLE described as "an explicable delight". As seen/heard on BBC's Breaking the News, Susan Calman's Socially Distant and BBC's Scot Squad. Winner of the Scottish Comedy Award for Breakthrough Act and Tour support for Susie McCabe.

On stage, he is the current Scottish and World Poetry Slam Champion. On page, he is, to date, unpublished and has a growing collection of rejection letters to prove it.
