Quiet Loner

Matt Hill is a singer, songwriter and entertainer. His recording and live work as ‘quiet loner’ has won him accolades, including Americana UK album of the year 2004 for his debut LP “secret ruler of the world”. Much of the critical praise for that album focussed on Hill’s abilities as a songwriter, particular his lyrics and wordplay. Inspired by the storytelling traditions of folk and country music Hill’s songs also have a distinctly British lyrical bite.

Trent Miller & The Skeleton Jive

Italian by birth but now residing in London, Trent Miller has been described as the Pete Doherty of the Americana movement. However, with his wistful acid-bite lyrics, mournful, chilling melodies and outlaw, renegade posture, a more suitable comparison might be to that of Gram Parsons or Gene Clark. His original mix of gothic and avant-country have seen the singer-songwriter gain a growing cult following in the underground folk scene since he first brought his music to London in late 2006.
