Brendan is emerging on the burgeoning folk scene with an impassioned set of widely influenced folk songs. His rousing vocals are complimented by the accompaniment of strings, woodwind and brass.He recorded his first set of demos with Grammy winner Dom Morley (Amy Winehouse, Adele, The Police, Mull Historical society..) who approached him after seeing him play a solo show in London.
Appearances at Great Escape, Standon Calling and Lovebox festival over the past couple of years have helped raised Brendan’s profile and he has recently completed recording his debut album at The Metropolis Studios with Dom Morley which is due to be released later this year.

Read Shere Khan's 30 Seconds interview with M here
Shere khan are a 4 piece from London playing music that could broadly be described as modern indie. With influences from dance acts like Fourtet and LCD Soundsystem, combining with intricate guitar work that recalls Foals and John Frusciante.
The band formed in 2010 after Will Earl, Joj Sharratt & Sam Sweeney (guitar, bass & drums respectively) decided to take their jam sessions to the next level, and called on Theo James. They played their first gig at The Miller in London Bridge and have since gathered a following, with continued gigs across London, with notable recent shows at Proud and Cargo.
They have recently had airplay on BBC London of their song Can’t Complain, and are continually developing their sound.

Read Bernadette's 30 Seconds interview with M here
Bernadette is a 21year old singer/songwriter & pianist from Suffolk. With influences such as John Legend, MaryMary & James Morrison, her sound is an ecletic mix of soul/R&B/Pop. For such a small frame, she delivers a bold live performance; her powerfully soulful vocal resonates beautifully alongside the story-telling lyrics and melodic piano riffs.
Moving to London at the age of 17 to study, she has been steadily writing & gigging her way around the city learning her craft. With a real passion for songwriting, and a great ear for toplines, Bernadette also co-writes for other artists as well as writing her own material. She has written with the likes of Si Hulbert (Ed Sheeran), Chad Beatz (G-Unit, Cee-lo Green, Ashanti) & James Bryan (James Morrison, Nelly Furtado) to name just a few. Having recently been a PRS for Music Featured artist , supporting Josh Osho and with an upcoming interview on BBC 1Xtra, she is a unique young talent starting to create her own buzz within the industry. Often described as the UK's answer to Alicia Keys; she is definitely one to watch!
