Jess Vincent
Vibrant singer songwriter Jess Vincent is previewing strong, new and infectiously catchy songs from her forthcoming (fourth)album, Lion’s Den. Jess's trademark subtle arrangements on guitar, baritone uke and harmonium, along with her uniquely soaring vocal have established her reputation as a highly original artist with a growing following in the folk/indie/Americana acoustic scene. This new release, recorded in her home studio in Bulgaria, will bring with it a thread of the people, stories, colours, flavours and instruments from her new life there. Jess will also be playing old favourites from her previous three albums.
Jess Vincent: vocals, guitar, uke, banjo; Joe Chowles: vocals, guitar; Graham Brown: percussion, keyboards harmonium; Hannah Krakiec: vocals, percussion.

Edd Donovan is a highly distinctive singer and songwriter with a rare, original talent. His sound is heartfelt – comforting, yet challenging – wise. Rooted in Indie Folk and Americana, he draws on a broad spectrum of influences and makes use of the talents of his full band, The Wandering Moles, and features meticulous, intricate arrangements, rhythmic shifts and close harmonies that recall classic artists such as The Band, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Nick Drake.
“A hugely talented, original songwriter" Folk And Tumble. "Beautiful" Bowerbirds
"Immensely inspiring...the more people who can hear his voice and words, the better" Dr Andrea Ashworth, author of 'Once In A House On Fire'.
