*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!

When I was eleven, I visited the world-famous Magic Circle. I was instantly hooked! Since that day, I have wanted to bring the same happiness I felt to others and have spent almost two decades working as a professional close-up magician. Over the last five years I have expanded my skillset to include mentalism which has added a new dynamic to my performance.

I have entertained international royalty and celebrities, regularly performing at a number of London's top bars and restaurants, as well as countless events including weddings, charity fundraisers, corporate away days, and premier league football matches. My client-base and experience has led me to start Maverick Magicians, a bespoke entertainment agency focused on bringing clients a variety of magicians and mind-readers who will provide unique & interactive entertainment.

I am a magician and mind-reader rolled into one. Send me an enquiry to add sense of WONDER to your event today. I hope to amuse, astound and entertain you soon.

I am an open format EDM DJ with the power of autism and neurodivergent. Back at February 2020 before lockdown, I have been inspired by my friend and the world famous DJ, James Hype. I have been taught by to watch on YouTube channel called Crossfader. In April 2023, I was so more than happy because I am on the guestlist multiple times at the iconic club in London, Ministry Of Sound and so, I can go the backstage to meet, greet and networking with the other world famous DJs. Now, I can mix a lots of EDM genres such as House (Deep, Tech, Bass, Future), Techno, Trance, UK Garage, Dubstep, Future Bass, and Drum N' Bass. One day, I would love to be an international DJ. I know it took long to go more through up in my dreams like David Guetta.

I’m a passionate singer-songwriter based in London, with an ability to blend acoustic and rock influences - I have been told that I have distinctive "raw" vocals that play well to this style. I have been developing a catalogue of songs over the years and as an ambitious musician, I am striving to grow as an artist with bigger production and performance experiences.

Listeners have compared my style to the likes of Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty. I have had the opportunity to perform on BBC Introducing stages at festivals in the South West and have even enjoyed the surprise of being played on national Polish radio.

With a music degree and years of experience playing in local scenes across Pakistan, Plymouth, Manchester, and Birmingham, I am now exploring the vibrant music scene in London where I have been playing for exciting crowds across the city!

Arguably iller than the thriller in Manila, Fintan O’Kane is one example of a DJ who has taken the dedication to their craft to the next level; having forsaken all his earthly possessions, Fintan took a vow of silence for a year whilst he studied at the ancient Alter of Breakbeat Badness.

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.
