We’ve been playing live since May 28th 2021 - we formed in university during lockdown so it was a bit of a slow burn at first, but as soon as we hit the stage we realised there was an energy between us and the audience that we were not used to experiencing, certainly not in little pub gigs. Fast forward a year and we have opened Islington Assembly Hall in front of hundreds of strangers - it was insane! And the crowd’s response was incredible. Fast forward another year and we’re now finishing up a long residency at The Camden Club in London where we’ve played numerous sold out shows. During this time we’ve also toured the UK and Portugal playing in front of crowds of up to 3,000 and we are ready to smash out the festival scene this summer and make the crowds go wild. Hello Amnesia isn’t the most well known band on the circuit, but we’re a great crowd pleaser (even to people who don’t like rock music) and we’re just keen to get out there and share our fun with more people!

*Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Viren Neel is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for retro-rock."

I am a singer-songwriter hailing from Trinidad and Tobago. I've always had a profound love for music from the 1960s to early '70s so I decided one day, after loads of covers, 10 years of guitar playing and a little bit of singing and writing experience, I'm going to make them for myself. My first song, Change, released in 2020 quickly became the 5th most listened to song on Apple Music in Trinidad and my life as an artist has been a notably thrilling one ever since. Though I typically say my music is era-based, if I had to say what genres I cover, it'd be folk, soul and rock with writing that pulls from my Trinidadian perspective. I so can't wait for you all to hear me at Farrago!

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London.
I work through a practice that lays an open space to experiment and be vulnerable with creating new and imperfect forms of artwork through the mediums of poetry, collage, critical discussion and soundscape.

Blessed with a soaring vocal, UK based John Dhali is an explosion of positive energy. He pours his experiences overcoming mental health issues into a musical medicine for the soul. Last year he released his crowd-funded debut, the 'In Time LP' – an indie/ folk/ rock concoction filled with infectious, hook-laden melodies that build to unstoppable choruses and anthemic heights. With shades of Kodaline, The Lumineers and Jeff Buckley, the album has received support from Spotify UK New Music Friday, prestigious music blogs such as Clash and Earmilk and international radio airplay. At the end of 2022 he picked up the DrakeYolanda Award for Emerging Artists and this year he’s just received a 1st place award in the International Songwriting competition - the worlds largest songwriting contest.
