A self-taught vocalist and pianist, 26-year-old George Bone is an award-winning Essex & London-based artist. While a pop artist holistically, George combines Folk, Neo-Jazz & RnB elements together with his thought-provoking writing & lyrics. His artists inspirations reflect this, ranging from country icons such as Christ Stapleton and Dan + Shay, to the British-based Bruno Major, Eloise & Conor Albert. Accompanied by a band, George is energetic; accompanying himself on keys, however, and you’re provided with an emotional, interactive experience leaving attendees craving more.

George has supported the likes of Mica Paris at The Ivy House, UK The Voice winner Molly Hocking at a sold-out show in both Camden and Islington, and Andrew Cushin on the day of his album release (after coming back from an international tour with Louis Tomlinson). If that was not enough, George has taken part in Festivals across the country, ranging from Northern Kin (County Durham), Wokingham Festival (Berkshire), Taste of London Festival (Greater London) and the inaugural Sounds Good Festival (Essex).

Amassing over 160,000 streams on Spotify alone, George is “on the cusp of tipping into the mainstream, this year or next” (Michelle Ward, PhoenixFM). His debut solo single ‘Valencia’ “[pushes] the genre forward with [a combination of] 00s indie pop aesthetics[s in this] emotionally disarming ballad” (A&R Factory), and both of his follow-up singles (“One/Two Summer Fling” and “Yours Today”) were made Tracks of the Week on BBC Introducing Essex & Cambridge. On the back of George being announced as the ‘Best Male Artist 2023’ at the Radio Wigwam Awards, and with more music to come in 2025, remember George’s name.

The core of Joana´s work goes from classically executed figurative oil paintings to more graphic paintings with the use of flat colors and less shading, onto hard surfaces in various sizes. Inspired by artists such as Goya and Michael Borremans, Simães explores the subtleties of human experience through both painting and, on occasion, video art.

“We’ve never liked the idea of being ‘just another indie band’,” say King Kuda. The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.

My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.
