Normally found hanging out at Dud’s farm in the depths of Ashdown Forest, The Breaks are a lightly-bearded, folk-tinged pop band from the darker side of Tunbridge Wells. Influenced by acts like Okkervil River, Bonnie Prince Billy, Iron & Wine and Husky, their sound is at times melancholic, occasionally menacing, and always melodic, rich and tuneful. The band includes singer-songwriter Stu Cardwell on vocals and guitars, Andy Shonfeld on bass, Al Smith on vocals, keys, guitar, mandolin and banjo, and Alex Cooper on drums and percussion.

Silent Crowd

Indie Pop band from Orpington, Kent. We’re a four piece, formed in 2011 whilst still at school. Eager to perform at any venue that will have us, we’ve played lots of gigs in London and the Kent area and sometimes we even get a few people in the audience. We’ve been writing our own songs for a few years now, in the hope that one day we’ll appeal to the good folks of suburbia, before we go on to conquer the world! Our influences include The 1975 and Two Door Cinema Club. Our Single, ‘Beautiful’ is out now on iTunes and Spotify.
