Her recent album is described as an introspective sound adorned with emotional vocals and sliding string sections that create a tense air of melancholy. After a colourful upbringing between France and England, Brooke began busking her music on the streets from the age of 16, and developing her intense narrative style.

Brooke resists categorisation, but with a vocal style that switches effortlessly between melodic and fiery, set against a deeply atmospheric musical backdrop, comparisons with the likes of Kate Bush, Ane Brun and Cat Power are inevitable.

Claire Hamill was signed to island records in the early 1970’s. She toured America with bands like Jethro Tull and Sad Cafe. one of her albums was produced by Ray Davies of The Kinks, and she was a member of Wishbone Ash. Eva Cassidy recorded one of her songs - You Take My Breath Away - and Claire is currently writing her memoirs.

Poppy is a popular 19 year old singer songwriter who recently performed at Peter Gabriel’s WOMAD festival.
