Corsair – Artists
Briggs & Stark – Honey
Briggs & Stark are a rising Americana folk duo whose buttery harmonies, intimate songwriting, and signature tickle of flute have quickly made them one of the UK’s most exciting new acts. Combining Briggs’ catchy americana hooks with Stark’s indie-folk storytelling, they create music that feels both contemporary and deeply relatable.

Matt Stringer – Full Circle
Guitarist, mandolinist, songwriter from Liversedge, West Yorkshire, UK. 2026 marks 25 years since I first picked up an electric guitar & began teaching myself to play.

I have now decided to use those experiences to put together my first ever solo collection of songs in the form of my debut album: Full Circle.
mattstringer.bandcamp.comRoberta Smith – Shade And Shelter
Roberta Smith’s songs aren’t easily pigeonholed. Some are love stories: tales of happiness; betrayal; regret, but others are funny and light-hearted. Inspired by the singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s, often lyrically and melodically unconventional, they are always a joy.
Watkin Sharkey – Circus Fantasia
I released his self titled debut album earlier this year. The album is an unpolished, homemade piece of me and I’m proud to be releasing it to the world. I’ll be touring again this September so keep your eyes peeled. There is also so much more in the works.
