Alice Rose has been singing all her life. According to her parents, she sung before she spoke as a baby. She has performed from a very early age, in both sing and acting.

At age 16, Alice was accepted in the prestigious BRIT school in London - former pupils include Amy Winehouse and Jessy J. She gained many musical skills over her time there and one stood out alone more than any of them - songwriting. Since then, Alice has written her own material and performed it in public. She has been taught musically by the outstanding teachers at the BRIT school and, in the summer 2010 by Ray Davies of the Kinks. He described her to have a "rare musical intuition."

Alice also enjoys and acting and creative writing and, back in 2009, became Take A Break's "Young Fiction Writer of The Year."

As well as Mr Davies, Alice has many influences, thanks to the wide variety of music she was brought up on. These include: Richard Thompson, The Beatles, Lilly Allen, T-rex, Kirsty Macoll, The Pouges, Aretha Franklin, Joanna Newsome, Paolo Nutini, Marvin Gaye, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Lady GaGa, Michael Jackson, Frank Zappa, Otis Redding, Neil Young, Ry Cooder.... to name a few.

Alice hopes that it is this wide mix of influence that makes her music fresh and original.

Formed in 2010 The Lazy Sundays are Tim, George and Diyar; a three piece songwriting team who's breezy tunes carry influences sweeping from 60's Pop to elements of late 90's lo-fi Hip Hop. With a love of melody and knack for lyrical hooks these songs are sketches of commuter town lives; the defiant drunk "Blue whiskey eyes", nightclub trysts 'Eliza", office romance "Sunshine". The Sunday's have a small claim to fame; they were finalists in the UK Songwriting Competition with their entry "Jog on" a song that sampled the vocals of George's 8 year old daughter . They have also released a single "Take me home" in support of Help for Heroes. Through 2016 you will find the cheeky trio bringing their laid back acoustic vibes to pubs and clubs around Berkshire, Hertfordshire and Kent. In-between gigging they will be working (not too hard) on recording a debut LP!

My name is Hamish Donald; I am 16 years old and I am a singer songwriter from Sevenoaks. I play a few instruments but my main instrument is guitar. I took up the guitar about 4 years ago, however I have been singing for as long as I remember. I have only recently started to write my own songs as before I only really focused on covers. I am now focusing more on writing and I am making progress. Performing is what I most enjoy and want to carry on performing as much as I can. The aim is to carry on writing and performing and see how things go.
