Oliver Beardmore

‘Penning million-streamed songs (Blur Into One – Graywave), working at some of the world’s finest studios (Real World, Salvation), and earning touring stripes at some of Europe’s most eclectic festivals (ArcTanGent, Radar), Oliver’s creative output already surpasses its own boundaries. 

Now channelled into a formidable creative partnership with producer Matt Glasbey (David Gilmour, Alt-J, Sorry), Oliver’s forecasted output promises tirelessly progressive yet effortlessly resonant songwriting fit for any alternative music pantheon. This, blended with an original incarnation of shoegaze’s ever-evolving sonic palette and delivered with haunting singularity, has amounted to a much-coveted project, touched by everything from Elliott Smith to Imogen Heap. 

2024 saw headline performances across the UK, capacity crowds in Paris, and tour support slots for Gia Ford, Swim School, Junodream, and Late Night Drive Home. This followed recognition from BBC Radio 1, with glowing mentions from Jess Iszatt and Daniel P. Carter, alongside endorsements from Marshall, celebrating what Blur’s Dave Rowntree has described as ‘Proper Songs.’

Supporting on the night will be

Emerson

“Effortlessly melodic, with iconic surf rock hooks and tales of forlorn thirst for a better world; Emerson are the unprescribed antidote to indie guitar band mediocrity that no one was expecting, and should be welcomed with open arms.” 

Emerson consists of lead songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, George Atkin, lead guitarist and vocalist, Alex Groom, bass player and vocalist, Will Lynch and drummer, Matt Cairns. Hailing from the sleepy suburban town of Fleet, Hampshire, Emerson produce a refreshing new sound, taking a heavy influence from 2000s indie rock and pop music of the sixties & seventies. Their debut EP “Good Man”, the first body of work including all four current members of the group, is out now. ♫♪♪

No Kite

No Kite is the brainchild of Harry Geeves: a production project which mixes breezy indie rock with electronic vocal effects and emotional lyricism. Devised entirely on a laptop, with a focus on editing flourishes and digital effects, the project has attracted attention from BBC Introducing and been supported by a string of independent music videos, including an award-winning effort for the 2021 single Your Favourite Band. Harry’s debut album Everything That Has Ever Happened was released in January 2024, a 62-minute exploration of the information age which encompasses rock, ambient, shoegaze and electronic influences.

No Kite’s three-piece band expands the noisier elements of the records, reimagining the material by blending guitar distortion with hard autotune and live drums. Bassist Oscar Traynor and drummer William Reigate join Harry for a dynamic live set that spans songs from No Kite’s full 3 years. In 2024 alone, the boys have had the pleasure of playing with the likes of Bones Ate Arfa (Brighton), Ray Wills (Reading) and Mega Sun Machine (Southampton). ♫♪♪

Elosie Carter

Eloise began her solo project in early 2023, working with promoters across the South including Fitz Promotions, Close Up and Psych Ltd whilst playing sold out shows with the likes of Prima Queen and The Native. She has quickly expanded her reach with shows at iconic venues including Boileroom Guildford, Camden Assembly and The Joiners. Eloïse’s sound blends Indie-Folk and Alternative Rock. Backed by her dynamic live band, she transitions seamlessly from intimate acoustic passages to explosions of full-band emotion, with her heart-on-sleeve ethos ever-present. Her honest writing is unremittingly emotional, and her on-stage charisma has quickly made her both a live favourite and attention from BBC Introducing Radio. ♫♪♪
