Confessions wrapped in an indie-folk-pop style… Born and bred in London, Nicky Phillips felt the pull to move north; she shares her open-hearted songs on both guitar and piano through intimate performances across North West England.

Although Nicky had previously been active on the music scene, it was 2021 that pulled her back with her first ever release and self-titled debut EP with sold out shows in both Cheshire and London. The EP saw success in ‘Home’, which was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition and was featured on Indie Folk Central’s first ‘Women of Indie Folk’ compilation.

Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.

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!

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.

Naomi is a visual artist and graphic designer who explores ethereal matter through curious creatures and characters - think contorted limbs, spindly hands and unexplained tentacles floating in an eerie utopia. Heavily influenced by her interest in spirituality and her love for music and nature, her designs are typically characterised by bold colour and distorted proportion. Her work is playful, portraying stories and embodying emotions through a childlike lens, dissecting different subject matter from historical symbolism to humour, and music to madness.

Hana’s sound is a seamless blend of Neo-Soul, R&B, and Pop that feels both intimate and anthemic. With dream-like vocals that float effortlessly through her tracks, the London-based artist is quickly carving out her space in the music scene. Whether it’s her hypnotic production or her emotionally charged lyrics, Hana has been captivating listeners with every note.

This rising star isn’t just about streaming numbers though, she’s been tearing up live stages, most recently selling out a headline show at Next Door Records. Her live presence is as magnetic as her recordings, and she’s been making waves across radio too, with spins on BBC Introducing, Reprezent, Future Hits, and the Global Soul Chart.

Hana’s debut EP, Until It Isn’t, is a sonic journey through the highs and lows of relationships, exploring themes of emotional distance and the power of communication. On the back of that, she also dropped "YOUR TIME" with Willow Newman earlier in 2023 which landed Spotify editorial playlist placement.

Of course, her 2019 smash hit "Fantasy" put her firmly on the map — and it's still got everyone talking. Now, she’s gearing up to bless our ears again, tapping deep into her Egyptian roots for her second EP, landing in 2025.

One thing’s for sure — Hana’s sound isn’t just heard, it’s felt. And it’s clear she’s got the kind of sound that stays with you long after the song ends.
