Confessions wrapped in an indie-folk-pop style… Born and bred in London, Nicky Phillips felt the pull to move north; she shares her open-hearted songs on both guitar and piano through intimate performances across North West England.

Although Nicky had previously been active on the music scene, it was 2021 that pulled her back with her first ever release and self-titled debut EP with sold out shows in both Cheshire and London. The EP saw success in ‘Home’, which was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition and was featured on Indie Folk Central’s first ‘Women of Indie Folk’ compilation. Another song from the EP, ‘The Dark’, was featured on BBC Music Introducing. Nicky has just finished her first tour in May 2024, including London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.

Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.

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.

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London.
I work through a practice that lays an open space to experiment and be vulnerable with creating new and imperfect forms of artwork through the mediums of poetry, collage, critical discussion and soundscape.

Naomi is a visual artist and graphic designer who explores ethereal matter through curious creatures and characters - think contorted limbs, spindly hands and unexplained tentacles floating in an eerie utopia. Heavily influenced by her interest in spirituality and her love for music and nature, her designs are typically characterised by bold colour and distorted proportion. Her work is playful, portraying stories and embodying emotions through a childlike lens, dissecting different subject matter from historical symbolism to humour, and music to madness.
