It's a Folksy-Rootsy Thing

Kalopsia

3-piece Alt-Folk band, Kalopsia are Kathy Rhodes (vocals and guitar), Ken Bisson (electric violin), Les Jordan (drums).

The occasional cover in our own unique style but mostly folk originals, sometimes incorporating poems and sonnets by Shakespeare, Byron and Shelley. Our music is filled with elegance, charm and soothing moments of calm contrasted by dynamic bursts of emotion.

We have been compared to This Is The Kit, PJ Harvey and Fairport Convention with an original twist!

Margarita Sleepover

Margarita Sleepover is a narrative stamped by powerful yet nuanced vocal delivery that conveys vulnerability and strength from thought provoking sentiments. A cocktail of midnight melodies that make up the Margarita Sleepover sound.

Simon Maggs & People Like Us

Indie-folkie (sometimes protest-ie) songs that draw on relatable stories and contemporary social themes. Wry lyrics, occasional kitchen-sink drama stories and reflections on Simon’s northern roots combine with melancholy melodies and catchy and uplifting tunes to produce songs that capture the spirit of the likes of Paul Heaton, Billy Bragg, The Smiths, Frank Turner, Martin Stephenson and John Bramwell/I Am Kloot.

Pegasuses

Pegasuses are husband and wife duo Dave Miatt and Laura Lamb. They sing songs about the serious and the silly and like to make you confused about whether you should be laughing or crying.

Based in Southampton, UK, they've been working with producer Russell Marsden (Band of Skulls/Alberta Cross) at Snook Studio on their debut album, Sea of Joy. Set for release this year, the album promises to showcase their eclectic blend of sweet harmonies and darkly comic lyrics.
