Hailing from Bromley, Abi Hudson is not your typical 18-year-old. While peers may still be deciding on their life’s direction, Abi’s purpose has been resolute for a while. She established her extraordinary performing talent from a young age, and honed her craft over years to establish herself as a real contender on the live circuit. Abi can already count acclaimed performances at popular tastemaker nights such as Ella Guru, the Pixie Lott curated showcase, and renowned London venues the Sebright Arms, The Underbelly and Barfly under her belt. 

In addition to her live success, the young prodigy has just finished recording her debut EP, produced by Terry Ronald (Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Sophie Ellis-Bextor) and Steve Anderson (Britney Spears, Take That, Kylie Minogue). Led by ‘Fragile Around You’, the collection is a compelling statement of intent, blending elements from acoustic indie-rock to intelligent glossy pop, creating a signature sound very much her own.

Anna Howie tells upbeat stories of love and loss and friendship through her own brand of Americana meets London. Her recent Ep  'An Idiots Guide to Love' was recorded in Nashville and went to number 5 in the Uk Country Album Chart. 

'Anna's voice is the perfect foil for her lyrics, blending a light sweetness with a bit of gravel. Think somewhere between the darker tones of Roseanne Cash and the airiness of early Joni Mitchell.'

By day she is a full time Drama teacher and by night a singer songwriter. She started writing songs at the age of eleven, in between singing along to Kylie Minogue songs. Her musical taste diversified over the years and now she cites her influences as Frank Turner, Beth Orton and The Indigo Girls, among others. Amber has performed in covers bands and musical theatre over the years, but has always come back to her first love, composing and performing her own music. She has been lucky enough to collaborate with some fantastic musicians over the years, most recently with professional composer Trystan Francis and producer Tom Cooper. Amber’s music is best described as Folky, Acoustic Pop and her dream is to play at Cropredy Festival! She has recently relaunched her own music and has already gathered a modest Twitter following, had her video broadcast on a Sussex TV station and been invited to perform at local venues. Amber’s songs are available on iTunes, Spotify and all other good online music retailers.

Jez Harley is a singer/songwriter who is a regular performer with both The Good Ship Band and Harley & Woods. Jez has achieved commercial and critical success as a songwriter with Scott English and as a singer/songwriter in the early 2000’s.

Jez wants to share some of the songs and sentiments that he feels are more appropriate for solo material - using just piano and voice, the work is delivered through stripped-back, intimate performances that aim to illuminate and contemplate life's most precious and delicate facets whilst inspiring the audience to respond to the material on an instinctive level.
