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. Another song from the EP, ‘The Dark’, was featured on BBC Music Introducing. Nicky has just finished her first tour in May 2024, including London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.

Preen have captured the imagination of audiences across the country with songs about Midsomer Murders, snorkelling, car crashes, and failed actors. Now a five-piece, they blend three-part harmonies with story-led melodies to bring a feel of both the classic and the new. They regularly sell out headline slots on the London circuit and beyond. They have recently played Greenman festival, Wychwood festival, Get Together festival, Ritual Union festival and more. Their latest release is a double-single and music video. They are heading to the isle of wight this month to record their next project.

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.
