Fransis
Blurring lines between artists like Alanis Morissette, Wolf Alice and Florence Welch, Fransis makes music that smacks you in the face in a slightly different way, and whilst she floats between genres of rock, Indie, pop, soul and blues; she shows an unrelenting penchant for dramatic, powerful and meaningful music. After busking on the streets of London and making a name for herself as a unique and energetic performer, she has pathed a full time career out of her musical ventures as a session singer and live performer and writer.

Charlie Churchill
Devon based singer/songwriter Charlie Churchill (16) is an emerging talent in the pop/rock world. The multi-instrumentalist draws on influences from contemporary artists James Marriot and Haiden Henderson alongside the stadium acts Arctic Monkeys and Muse. His intense and infectious sound paired with honest lyrics about navigating teenage life in the 2020s are gaining him fans and followers of all ages. Charlie’s musical journey is the tale of a child protégé – the seed was planted when he received a SpongeBob electric guitar on his 6th birthday (he still has it) - by 10 he was selected to perform in the West End as part of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s original run of School of Rock the Musical. At 13, he became the sole UK representative of the G3 Gibson Generation Group – a two year worldwide mentorship program for 10 gifted musicians alongside Grace Bowers and where he was mentored by one of his guitar heroes - Toby Lee.
Now 16, Charlie is a prolific busker and can often be seen performing on the streets of Exeter or on the London Underground after he successfully auditioned for the TFL Busk in London program. He supported Toby Lee at his first headline show at the Half Moon Putney and Charlie’s next solo performance is an acoustic set at the iconic Gibson Garage in London on April17th 2025.
Charlie has recently recorded his debut EP Catastrophise at Cube Recording Studios in Cornwall. His first single “No One’s Perfect” is scheduled for release on April 3rd 2025 on all streaming platforms.
