Jane Taylor
When a song called Fall on Me, was played on Johnnie Walkers Drive Time show on BBC Radio 2, he was inundated with e-mails … ‘Who is this new singer songwriter?’ ‘Where can we find out about her?’ ‘Please play more!!’
A live Radio 2 session, and a distribution deal with Pinnacle swiftly followed, then, a national release of the album ‘Montpellier’
Support slots with Jools Holland, Seth Lakeman and Paolo Nutini … and an exciting musical journey had begun...
Jane Taylor brings her band (guitars, keyboards, cello, double bass, and violin) back to Acoustica … along with her exquisite voice and a hatful of new songs. Be among the first to hear material from the new album, a recording that’s destined to promote Jane Taylor into the superleague of acoustic singer songwriters.
Catch her while you can!

... I defy anyone not to want to come back for more

'There's just something very honest about Jane's songs and I think that people will always connect with that. It's a beautiful album '

The Austin Francis Connection
For one of our Acoustica session at this years Wychwood Festival, we were lucky enough to have our attention drawn to The AFC. So fabulous are they, that we had to bring to Acoustica at the Guildhall. Vocals, beatbox & guitar... a thoroughly unique blend of acoustic hip-hop.
Here’s a bit about the Austin Francis Connection, in their own words:
“We Play Acoustic, Head Nodding, Smile Making, Hiphop for you..... AND your mum! Together since Feb 2005, this 3 piece ensemble simply enjoy making music together and travel around to paying gigs and open mics alike.... Taking the Underground sound of the streets of America, putting it on an exchange holiday to Gloucestershire, then inviting it in for a nice slice of cake and a cup of tea.....possibly with two sugars.”

Furlined
This Westcountry based quartet produce a lush sound of warm rich vocals with swooning cello, guitars, bass backing vocals. Their songs elevate the ridiculousness of the everyday, sometimes stark, yet always appealing,
Mini epic at times, memorable and immensely melodic constructions full of observation and a hint of the sardonic
Furlined manage to create a nostalgia with their music, and remain 100% relevant. A real 80’s/modern day hybrid.

Morrissey meets Americana... stunning songs with an irresistible English wit.'
