Emily Teague does the one girl and her guitar thing better than most, managing to tiptoe the tricky tightrope between heartfelt and cloying with wide-eyed aplomb’

Kevin not only rearranges old classics but has crafted many melodies and lyrics of his own. Titles such as “Leaving in a Hurry Blues”, “So Long” and “Evora (the First Time)” display not only tremendous musical and vocal skill but also a rare talent for penning lyrics. His performances make time fly. Each set is linked with easy patter, off the wall humour and pleasantly eccentric anecdotes.  www.kevindempsey.co.uk . The space in the arrangements provides the opportunity for Rosie's fine voice to have full expression and her use of fiddle on some of the ten tracks is both subtle and carefully judged.www.rosiecarson.com/

With a following to rival flamenco, the haunting melodies of Portuguese fado have always held listeners spellbound; Claudia Aurora is its powerful new voice. Claudia Aurora sings fado – traditional Portuguese folk-blues – like no one else. Her debut album, “Silêncio” (released in the UK by World Village/Harmonia Mundi on 31 October 2011), is the first collection of original fado songs to be recorded in the UK since the great Portuguese Fado diva Amália Rodrigues recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1952.

Ash Keys Music are good friends with Mr and Mrs Williamson and regularly book them tour dates here and there.  A heart warming couple who make heart warming music. Plenty of humour and the odd mystical yarn.

This incredible duo makes a unique Indo - Celtic sound, performing a variety of original, traditional, mystical and spiritual folk music from many roots.  Their acoustic concerts of song story and music feature the East West harmonies of Robin and Bina's voices with harp, bowed psaltery & many other instruments.
