The Carrivick Sisters:

One thing that is always evident at a Carrivick Sisters performance is their joy in playing together, in singing in close harmony and in delighting an audience. Twin sisters Charlotte and Laura Carrivick have grown up playing music together, and at a live show the stage becomes an extension of their kitchen; welcoming you into a warm, musical embrace while cooking up delicious melodies and tasty instrumentals. The sisters draw inspiration from their passion for traditional American old time and bluegrass music, English folklore and the wide variety of instruments they play: guitars, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and dobro.

Clemencie:

Running away with romantic tales of falling in and out of love, Clemencie discuss coming of age and growing into your own skin. Synth pop meets indie rock, this 5 piece makes you want to dance around your bedroom and shout along to lyrics about an ex you never dated. Clemencie combines the honest lyrical style of Holly Humberstone with the dark synth soundscape of Wolf Alice and danceable pop feel of Blondie.Newly formed and UK based, Clemencie is lead by front woman Grace Bland (Grand Finalist of The Open Mic UK Competition 2020, held at The 02 in London). Collaboratively created by Grace and James, the band sold out their first hometown show in under 12 hours.
