“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!

The Harveys (full band)
Over the last three years The Harveys have established themselves as one of the best live acts in the local area. Formed from the embers of SW3 singer Peter Taylor and guitarist Del Edwards have added bass player Graham Corke and drummer Rick Weaver while retaining the services of percussionist Bart Brummer and vocalist Janemarie Taylor.
Whilst mainly performing a variety of covers from Dylan to Ed Sheeran, The Harveys also have a great selection of original songs to choose from. Some of these original songs are drawn from Peter’s earlier bands such as The Flagmen, The Red Guitars and Transformer.
With great vocal harmonies and up-tempo rhythms The Harveys bring a party atmosphere to all their shows. They are currently in the middle of recording their debut album due for release early in 2014.
Will Sid Smith
Will began singing seriously when he was just 6 years old and has been writing songs since he was 14. His tastes in music cover all genres but amongst his strongest influences are Jeff Buckley (to whom he has often been likened) and songwriters such as Michelle Branch and John Shanks . Now 18, Will has an impressive catalogue of original songs and has been playing gigs around Kent and in London for over 3 years. Currently in his final year of "A" Level studies he also writes regularly for Punk Globe Magazine and has recently begun working with Ground Hero Films as a composer. London Summer Jam described his music as "smooth pop with an edge" whilst RSM's review of his single Urban Country described Will as "like John Mayer but a bit more fun and a little less world-weary". Will believes that "edge" is important, that your music should contain part of your soul and his certainly does.
Annie Lees
"I am a 17 year old singer/songwriter from Tunbridge Wells. I started writing lyrics about anything and everything at the age of twelve, but only begun to turn them into songs a year later when I was told I could sing! From here I fell in love with music and had guitar lessons for a short while but eventually started to teach myself to play guitar. I first heard Gabrielle Aplin when she was on youtube over four years ago as she was a songwriter of a similar age and background to myself. Her successes and her recent fame have been a huge influence of mine. I intend to keep gigging locally for the time being and then continue to play at University next year."
