GIDEON CONN:

Gideon Conn is an Manchester-born singer-songwriter.
He is now based in London, but tours extensively around the UK, and has played at UK festivals, including Glastonbury Festival.
He self-released a number of EPs, and released his first single 'I Want You Around' in 2008.
He was included on the 'A-Z Bestival' Compilation as the letter 'G'.
He has been played on XFM Radio and on BBC Radio 1 by Huw Stephens.
He also supported popular American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz on his 2008 UK Tour.
Gideon sells his own artwork and also has a range of self-designed clothing, created in collaboration with Yes No Maybe Clothing.
He has recently released a new album entitled 'Take It All'.

LITTLE SPARROW:

Little Sparrow, also known as Katie Ware, played in various bands in and around the south of England before upping sticks and moving to Manchester where she joined the remnants of rock band Marion.
Having taken a little time out, 2010 saw Katie spread her wings and return as 'Little Sparrow'.
One of her tracks 'The Hunted' was then included on the Bear Family Records 35th Anniversary compilation.
This then lead onto her finding a new musical family, which is now her current line-up and what a family it is!
In a line-up which now includes cello, violin, percussion, and guitars, her new sound is a mix of acoustic folk and an abundance of harmonies!

AIDAN SMITH:

Aidan Smith is a singer/songwriter whose ramshackle and warmly humorous ditties echo the early work of his first label's co-founder Damon Gough (Badly Drawn Boy).
He is by no means your typical folk artist, which is refreshingly different, and at the same time, wonderfully brilliant.

LUCY ELIZABETH:

Lucy Elizabeth Conroy, from Burnley, near Manchester, is a acoustic singer-songwriter.
She has travelled the country, winning over fans with her witty balladry and songs about the trivia and tiny tragedies of daily life, and has performed on both Radio 1 and XFM.
