Artists:
Dragonfly Sky
Amy Whiter and Chris Lee-Delisle are an exceptional duo with lush harmonies, infectious melodies and an incredibly alluring stage presence. They write well crafted songs that take you on a journey and perform with passionate vocals and skilled musicianship.
FATEA Magazine said of the release of their debut EP ‘Neon’: “As debuts go, it doesn’t get much better than this. This is certainly one of the strongest EPs of the year so far, and deserves to get the duo a lot of attention. Neon EP is engaging and enchanting, and will keep you enthralled with every listen. I can’t wait to hear more from Dragonfly Sky.”
Dragonfly Sky are no strangers to the festival scene having performed at Weyfest, Lowde Fest, Vann Fest, GT ‘One Summer’s Day’ and South Hill Park Festival of Food and Music, among others.
3Times7
3Times7 are a high-energy soul, funk, and blues band hailing from Horley, Surrey – blending rich vocals, gritty guitar work, and infectious grooves into a sound that’s both timeless and unmistakably their own. With a shared love of live performance and strong songwriting,they bring a powerhouse mix of experience, chemistry, and charisma to every stage. Known for delivering feel-good, genre-blurring sets, 3Times7 seamlessly fuse original material with inventive reimaginings of classic tracks. Think soulful melodies, blues-rock attitude, and funk-infused rhythms – wrapped in a show that’s as musically tight as it is irresistibly fun. Their influences range from Tedeschi Trucks Band and Aretha Franklin to Stevie Wonder, shaping a sound that nods to the past while pushing forward with flair.
The Velveteen Orkestra
The Velveteen Orkestra has the ability to make audiences swoon while, at the same time, casting forth an air of unease with their intoxicating hybrid of rich romanticism and brutal intensity. Embodying essences of European folk and Americana with nodding acquaintances to Neil Young, Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Radiohead, their sound can gently pluck at your heartstrings while, at the same time, delicately slipping them around your neck.
The Velveteen Orkestra are a ragged-trousered rock and roll orchestra conceived in a leaky, shadow-veiled district of South London. Bellowing out from underneath the grey brutalist tower blocks named in honour of romantic poets is a sound that is both savage, yet elegant… animal, yet noble… honest, yet fantastical.
Their pulsating live shows are attracting audiences for their rich romanticism and brooding intensity, as well as their sparkling sense of humour. Lead Singer/Guitarist Dan Shears emits a gilt-edged voice from a spindle-limbed frame, evoking memories of Jeff Buckley at his heart-aching best.
