Peter White
Peter was born in England, as one of four kids, and soon learned to play a variety of instruments such as recorder, clarinet, cornet, trombone, violin, harmonica, and piano. What he was not given were any instructions in playing the guitar. Therefore Peter self-trained to play a few simple chords and felt intrigued by the influence of The Beatles and other 60s music at the time. In his late teenager years he waived going to college, electing instead to pursue a career in the music business.

Silver Gospel Runners
Silver Gospel Runners are an ever expanding group of Cardiff musicians playing vaguely eccentric, whimsical indie pop. They are definitely not a defunct 18th century message carrying service for monks studying ancient ecclesiastical texts. They write songs about lighthouses, toy robots, waterborne diseases the flora and fauna of the southern hemisphere, dinosaurs, casinos and compass points. They play all their own notes and sing all their own words except when they borrow them.

Jackson Analogue
Jackson Analogue released their debut album through I Hear Voices on the 25th June 2007. Recorded in a Victorian water tower on what was once Queen Victoria's estate, “And Then…Nothing” displays a dazzling range of influences and beautifully crafted songs. From the gentle acoustics of “Concrete Hands” to the Hammond infused sweat soaked melodies of “Stop”, from the punky riot of “Come On” to the beautifully epic album closer “Moodyman Left”, this is an album that is breathtaking in its breadth and glued together with compelling songwriting.
