Hattie Whitehead
Hattie Whitehead is a remarkable musician. She is a powerful and distinctive songwriter, a fine guitarist, an inspired interpreter of classic songs, and a singer with a remarkable vocal and emotional range.Described this year by Jazzwise as ‘one of the greatest singers I have ever heard’, Hattie’s honest, intimate and direct manner weaves its way through her performances and songwriting.
With three EPs, support from the likes of Glastonbury, Guy Garvey and the iPaper, now comes Hattie’s debut album Bloom. Produced by John Reynolds, whose production credits include Sinead O’Connor, this collection of Hattie’s own, highly-personal songs demonstrates her ability to transform personal experiences into music as she addresses themes of grief, re-growth, family, roots and female empowerment.
While her last EP Mechanism was influenced by the death of her mother, Bloom is “more up…the overarching theme is discovering who I am, re-emerging from a period of intense grief and reassessing life from a new viewpoint as a changed person.”
Bloom is the result of a lifetime spent in music. Her mum was a music-loving poet, her dad is the celebrated jazz saxophonist Tim Whitehead, and as this debut album proves, Hattie has developed into an empowered artist, unafraid to address difficult themes and drawing her strength through honesty and vulnerability.

Ben Morgan
Ben Morgan, hailing from the Northern beaches of Sydney, Australia, began busking and performing along the east coast throughout 2022 as a 23yr old singer/songwriter and saxophonist. Preferring to stay outside of the big cities, he experimented with his unique blend of folk and blues in the post-pandemic climate until 2023, which saw him amass of total of 50,000 growing followers within a month across his social media and an immediate rise into the Folk scene.
For a young, blonde Aussie surfer cliche, Ben has a surprisingly mature voice which has been likened to Hozier, Matt Corby, and Ray Lamontagne and is deeply influenced by a unique blend of folk, blues and alternate/indie singer/songwriters including Ben Howard, Matt Corby and Patrick Watson.
‘I just want my music to be a soundtrack to life, all the light and shade. So I guess I naturally write songs that are quite emotionally driven and blend my early influences of folk with more open and alternate styles that have come through my love of the saxophone.’

Martha St. Arthur
If country music’s all about life inside America, Martha St. Arthur’s modern Westerns are all about life outside it. Raised in the badlands of England’s deep South in an identikit commuter town, her early influences were from Hollywood’s 1990s global sprawl: hedonistic party pop, paint-by-numbers rom-coms and Singstar symphonies. Now under the altogether more benign influence of Laura Marling, Kacey Musgraves and Paul Simon, her punchy alt-country is preoccupied with politics, little England and the reality of life in the final years of liberal democracy. Contrary to lyrical indications, she’s actually quite a cheerful person.

Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack Francis’ heartfelt songs are rooted in the finest musical traditions of America, whilst staying true to his own British and Irish heritage. His unique voice and perspective lend authority to lyrics exploring the complicated terrain of life with passion and poetic precision.
Jacks musical journey started at 15 years old, honing his craft performing music in pubs, clubs and venues. After more than 10 years of experience of touring around the UK, a stint writing Pop songs for a publishing house followed. This become the catalyst for Francis to focus his attention on recording and releasing his own music the way he wanted it to be heard.
During a break between the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020, his self-titled debut album started production with the help of old friends Ferris & Sylvester at their home studio in Wiltshire.
Upon its release, the songs from his debut were championed by the likes of Janice Long, Tom Robinson, Ricky Ross and Iain Anderson all across the BBC. A string of tour supports, as well as festival appearances in the UK and Europe followed in the summer of 2022, before beginning work on the follow-up album in September of the same year.
Francis’ second record, entitled ‘Early Retirement’ is due for release in the Spring of 2024. A personal collection of songs demonstrating a more diverse sonic palette, as well as his acerbic wit, ‘Early Retirement’ compounds Jacks experiences navigating modern society and the music industry.
