Born from the ashes of London based rock outfit The Original Sinners, the brother/sister duo Marc and Charlotte are returning to their folk roots, playing heartfelt story telling songs of rare poetic quality.

“That Magic Feeling” and “Summer Sun” have already been nominated for best pop song at the Exposure Music Awards, an organization dedicated to promoting the best new bands in the UK. Pepsi Max used the videos the band made for Live in the Loos (Ep) as a sample of what they were looking for in their Max It Legends competition in 2010. They also used pictures of the band playing live in their online adverts for the competition.
British Clothing firm Jack Wills have used two of the bands track in online adverts.
Great indie pop/rock band, you'll see them in a number of forms. Whether it's their electrifying full band show or their stripped acoustic setup with banjo, accordian and double bass... you're in for a load of fun with this band!

Alfie Noakes (from Sevenscore)
With a sound described as 'Thom Yorke meets John Lennon', Tunbridge Wells based Sevenscore deliver a dynamic rock/pop sound brimming with edginess and thought provoking lyrics and melodies. Alfie Noakes, Mark Cooper and Martin Lucas formed the band in 2002. Following the recording of their album, 'Safe and Dry' in 2003, performances have included the Tunbridge Wells Forum, the 'Gazastock' festival, 'Music on the Meadow', and two consecutive nights at the 'Hop Farm Fireworks Extravaganza' (attended by over 10,000 each night!) In mid 2006 Sevenscore was joined by Ollie Nicholls and shortly afterwards the band won a place in the final of the kmfm battle of the bands. Following this, the song 'Smile' topped KMFM's local music chart and recieved airplay. Sevenscore gave a memorable headline performance at this year's 'Local & Live' festival and 2009 has seen the band expand to a 5 piece line up with Steve McCormack joining on Guitar/vocals and Paul Dunton on keys. Sevenscore are directing their focus on performing and recording new material which is due for release in the coming months.
Dave Harding
Dave writes beautifully-crafted haunting and melodic songs about love. He has a diverse range of influences, from Burt Bacharach and Scott Walker to Morrissey, Elvis Costello and David Sylvian.
Dave's playing and songwriting style is also influenced by his classically-trained past. His early musical cv includes playing in orchestras and successful string quartets, as well as performing violin and piano concertos in major London venues.
Throughout his teens and twenties he played in a variety of rock, pop and folk bands going on to record 2 self-produced solo albums.
Songwriting is Dave's passion, and after rather a long break he is now getting his new and old songs out there.
“Previously I’ve recorded most of my songs with layers of orchestral and vocal arrangements. Now, I really want to strip everything back and just allow the melody, structure and lyrics to speak for themselves.”
