This isn’t just an event it’s where talent meets community.

Gaby K

Birmingham born, London based artist Gaby K’s empowering, spontaneous songs are raw and moving, and are reminiscent of some of her biggest influences; Amber Mark, Joy Crookes, Emeli Sande and the likewise. The sheer emotional and organic nature of her songs have garnered her some impressive BBC Introducing support across Birmingham and London, as well as a coveted main support slot on Olivia Dean’s 2021 EP tour and Pip Millett’s 2022 UK Tour. Gaby K’s musical repertoire promotes self-love and female empowerment, and she delivers these messages in a glistening pop-infused R&B package that guarantees to impress.

Amethyst

Amethyst is a talented R&B and soul artist from London, UK, known for blending Millennial R&B, neo-soul, and jazz. Mentored by Joy Crookes and supported by Jamz Supernova, Amethyst's songwriting comes from the heart, with a purity that is striking. Her music features soulful melodies, moving lyrics, and contagious rhythms, showcasing her seductive singing abilities and compelling stage presence. Amethyst's music explores themes of love, heartbreak, and reconnection, drawing comparisons to artists like Cleo Sol and Snoh Aalegra. In February 2025, she released "Loving is a Crime," a soul-stirring R&B track that delves into the complexities of toxic love.

Heavy Weather

Born in Livingstone, Scotland, Heavy Weather have quickly become an impressive creative force in their local scene, carving out a brilliant indie rock sound that will have you totally enraptured. While the band first formed in early 2023, they’ve already won a number of accolades, including securing gigs at famous Scottish venues like Sneaky Pete’s and Nice ‘n’ Sleazy. Now, the band have shared their titanic debut single ‘Irish Goodbye’, cashing in on the hype and delivering one of the standout indie cuts of the last few years.

Formed by vocalist Lewis Harley, drummer Grant Herpich, bassist Billy McFaul, and guitarists Jack McFaul and Nathan Sinclair, Heavy Weather have an innate ability to tap into authentic, raw, and honest songwriting, a trait that is often overlooked in mainstream releases. With an original style that is built on classic alt-rock and a deft culmination of the band’s influences, like The Smiths, Inhaler, Radiohead, Fontaines DC, my bloody valentine and Blossoms, Heavy Weather are a true indie band in every sense of the word.
