DAN SHEARS & THE VELVETEEN ORKESTRA:
While weaving tales of love, heartache and fantasy in his intensely dark and mystical style, as well as playing some of the South’s top venues, Dan Shears is proving himself to be one of London’s more interesting and captivating singer/songwriters. Whether performing solo or with THE VELVETEEN ORKESTRA… beautiful, flowing vocal melodies, with lyrics that bring to mind carnival-esque lullabies written by a much older soul, cascade over delicate and intricate guitar-work and songs so immersed in passion and pathos that they’re sure to haunt the memory long after the first listen.

BLAIR JOLLANDS:
Born & Raised in New Zealand, marinated in the music of Memphis and New Orleans then projected into London where he lives now. He has always loved the voice and its raw, emotional pull to the heart. This is his solo project. Influenced by the journey and the people that got him here.

RACHEL KENEDY:
Always working on her own writing & coming up with countless songs, Kenedy eventually found herself experimenting with many genres & instruments. Although her first love was the piano, Kenedy also liked to use the fiddle & the guitar, though she claims that she ‘has to think about it when playing them, whereas with the piano, it just flows’. Her favourite tool to use, however, is her voice. Gifted with a talent for singing from childhood, her voice is used in all of her music as the source of her beautiful harmonies & powerful melodies.
