The Vernon Spring
The Vernon Spring is the recording project of North London-born musician Sam Beste, whose journey traces various arcs across jazz, soul, ambient, and songwriting modes. At age eleven, a chance piano lesson set Beste in a pivotal direction, prompting an ongoing passion for improvisation that shaped his life’s trajectory.
Beste’s dedication and talent placed him in Amy Winehouse’s orbit, whom he accompanied as her live pianist for the majority of her ascendent career. Their pairing paved the way for other significant and diverse collaborations, including work with Gabriels, Kendrick Lamar producer Sounwave, Beth Orton, Kano, Joy Crookes, Matthew Herbert, and MF DOOM.

With a foundation deeply rooted in jazz, Quinn possesses a profound understanding of complex musical concepts which he translates seamlessly into the more mainstream genres of contemporary RnB and alt-pop. Expect to hear beautifully constructed classic sounding tracks with hidden layers for appreciators of depth and detail. Quinn’s acclaimed work – including his debut album ‘Alexithymia‘ and standout singles such as 100 Degrees (with Reuben James and Linden Jay) – has earned over ten million streams and significant support across radio and press.

Yoshika Colwell
Hailing from the South East of England, Yoshika has been writing and gigging solo across the UK since she started making music in earnest in 2017. In early 2022, whilst living in a caravan in the Kent countryside, her home-made demos found their way to the Blue Flowers record label (home to Rosie Lowe and Gotts Street Park) who began working with her. Yoshika’s songs are often deeply personal and concerned with attempting to understand the self & others, time, nature and mortality. A lifelong Joni Mitchell fan she also takes inspiration from a wide mix of artists inc. Gillian Welch to Linda Perhacs, John Prine to Talk Talk.
