My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.

Having played at notable events and venues including Fabric, Strawberries and Cream Festival, Mint Festival and Mint Warehouse, Tej now hosts a monthly show on Bloop Radio where he continues to showcase his style.

A self-taught vocalist and pianist, 26-year-old George Bone is an award-winning Essex & London-based artist. While a pop artist holistically, George combines Folk, Neo-Jazz & RnB elements together with his thought-provoking writing & lyrics. His artists inspirations reflect this, ranging from country icons such as Christ Stapleton and Dan + Shay, to the British-based Bruno Major, Eloise & Conor Albert. Accompanied by a band, George is energetic; accompanying himself on keys, however, and you’re provided with an emotional, interactive experience leaving attendees craving more.

George has supported the likes of Mica Paris at The Ivy House, UK The Voice winner Molly Hocking at a sold-out show in both Camden and Islington, and Andrew Cushin on the day of his album release (after coming back from an international tour with Louis Tomlinson). If that was not enough, George has taken part in Festivals across the country, ranging from Northern Kin (County Durham), Wokingham Festival (Berkshire), Taste of London Festival (Greater London) and the inaugural Sounds Good Festival (Essex).

Amassing over 160,000 streams on Spotify alone, George is “on the cusp of tipping into the mainstream, this year or next” (Michelle Ward, PhoenixFM). His debut solo single ‘Valencia’ “[pushes] the genre forward with [a combination of] 00s indie pop aesthetics[s in this] emotionally disarming ballad” (A&R Factory), and both of his follow-up singles (“One/Two Summer Fling” and “Yours Today”) were made Tracks of the Week on BBC Introducing Essex & Cambridge. On the back of George being announced as the ‘Best Male Artist 2023’ at the Radio Wigwam Awards, and with more music to come in 2025, remember George’s name.
