Nishe are a three-piece from London consisting of Giovanni (lead vocals/guitar), Harold Wilson (bass/backing vocals) and Thomas Romer-Smith (drums/backing vocals).Ella On The Run – ‘Golden Boys’
Ella On The Run was born and raised in Zurich to a French and South African mother and a Swiss father; musicality ran in the family as her grandmother was a classical singer, which was what Ella initially focused on. After a few years of classical training, Ella started taking more of an interest in contemporary music. After leaving high school she went on to attend the prestigious Berklee College Of Music in Boston where she learnt from Grammy award-winning teachers.
What do you get if you put a tattoo artist, a videographer and a lifeguard on a stage together and throw in a crate of Relentless? The answer is Cheltenham three-piece I, The Lion. Their sound and energy, when let loose on stage, astounds audiences with many comparing them to acts twice their size such as the mighty Biffy Clyro. The balance of catchy hooks, brutal drums and roaring guitars sets them apart from the rest.Sol Flare – ‘Silver Moon’
Dominic Wood was raised in Melbourne, Australia. He was first exposed to underground electronic music in 1995 by his brother, who returned from the UK with turntables and a collection of dance music records. Deeply influenced by this new sound he soon began making electronic/sequenced music with a free computer programme called ‘Making Waves’. He first began performing live during his brother Simon’s DJ sets in 1998. Seven Summits – ‘Sooner Or Later’
From their origins as a Belfast band with a rotating membership, Seven Summits have firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting and consistent bands operating in Northern Ireland. Their debut album received much acclaim, given the first (and only!) BBC Introducing in Northern Ireland ‘Album of the Month’ award, as well as propelling them to the stage at Glastonbury in 2010.
