*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!

Hi, I’m Natalia and I’ve been doing henna for over 10 years. I was born in the United States and moved to the UK when I was 15. Coming from a mixed Pakistani and German background, I’ve always been drawn to my South Asian roots which inspired me to start practicing henna as a teenager.

Since then, I’ve had the joy of creating designs for weddings, special events, and even as body art. Henna is both a way of celebrating tradition and a form of self-expression. I love making each design unique whilst also exploring different styles, and also helping people feel inspired and beautiful through the art of henna.
