Amy May Ellis
Amy May Ellis grew up in the middle of the North York Moors. Her music has taken her around the UK and Europe playing headline shows and guesting for artists such as Micheal Chapman, Rozi Plain, Alessi's Ark, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tiny Ruins, Ryley Walker and Willy Mason.
Since 2018, Ellis has released a series of 4 EPs, each exploring an element; ‘Weathered by Waves’, ‘We got Fire’,‘Where my Garden Lies’, and ‘When in the Wind’ have all received support from BBC 6 Music, BBC introducing, and Rough Trade. They have also fuelled headline tours around the UK and Ireland and landed Ellis a spot at Brighton’s Great Escape festival.
Now based in Bristol Ellis is recording her debut album, which is set for release in 2023.
Amy’s music is rich and refreshingly honest, with each song carefully catching a small piece of what it is to be human.
"Amy May Ellis’ ability to take you through an array of emotions whilst leaving you hooked on every single word is a talent that only a few hold with clear integrity. When in the wind is a gorgeous body of work from an artist who’s ethereal qualities leave you feeling acknowledged" - Paige Sims, Lock Magazine
"One of those artists who just never fails to impress" - Emily Pilbeam, BBC Introducing
"Amazing ethereal voice…exquisite’ - Tom Robinson
"Amy reaches her arms around the world with a gentle strength that is soothing and inspiring. She is the reassuring voice by the fire that tells hard truths with a wry and loving smile" - Willy Mason
Josie Field
South African born Josie Field is a combination of Florence and the Machine meets Janis Ian meets Aretha Franklin, Field’s voice is distinct and unusual. Her signature sound is a potent mix of lyricism and fire, heart-felt issues and tender constructions, she has a unique textured blues infused voice and soulful vocal delivery style. Rooted in folk but having experimented with blues, country, jazz and with strong elements of soul coming through on her latest release, Josie is no ordinary singer songwriter.
“A beautiful pin-drop performance from an artist at the top of her game – able to fill a festival stage with her delightful sounds.” - Andrew Marston BBC Music Introducing
"...beautiful, controlled and refined, yet ragged, raw, restless and regretful in the right places...A glorious precipice to experience." - Darren Taylor Voice of America (VOA) Radio
