Roswell
UK
'A folk duo whose voices combine to create a seamless flow of rich, harmonic beauty' ~ Americana UK
We are Zoë Wren and Jasmine Watkiss, two harmony-obsessed multi-instrumentalists who formed Folk-Americana duo Roswell after an impromptu open mic night in Cambridgeshire in 2018. Within a few months, we had won Purbeck Rising 2018 and released our debut EP ‘Remedy’, which won Fatea's EP of the Year 2019.
We have supported incredible musicians like John Smith, Calan and Gilmore & Roberts, and played main stage shows at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, Wimborne Minster Folk Festival and Fête de la Musique in Geneva.
Our second EP, ‘Come Home’, was produced by Dan Wilde and released in February 2020, with a tour including sold-out shows at the Green Note in London, The Stables in Milton Keynes and The Shelley Theatre in Bournemouth.
In 2023, we are currently writing and recording our debut album, with plans to release at the end of the year. Watch this space!

Saint Leonard
UK
Saint Leonard, the rising lyrical dream-pop art rocker, is back with a new album that promises to be a mesmerizing and at times, veil of maya lifting experience. Having set out on a dedicated psycho-spiritual journey, Leonard has distilled his experiences into a new sound that explores innerspace, outerspace, and every state of mind in between.
Leonard's previous album, 'Good Luck Everybody,' was recorded in the mysterious location of Stanley Kubrick's former estate outside of London and was met with wide critical acclaim. He toured across the UK and Europe, supporting artists such as Patti Smith, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and Father John Misty. The album received strong radio support from BBC 6 Music with Tom Robinson describing it as ‘Brilliant, radically adventurous music from an extraordinarily talented artist’ Q magazine awarding it 4 stars and the NME declaring it ‘a surrealist, mystical odyssey of self-discovery, maximal hedonism and Jaws of death revelation’
In August 2023 Leonard released 'Tell Me The Truth' the first of three 'Full Moon Singles', followed by 'God Give Me Strength' and 'Bell & Ecstasy' on each sequential full moon. THE TIMES featured 'Tell me the Truth' as one of their essential tracks describing it as 'Moody electro-pop, made with members of South London's The Fat White Family, which has something of Bowie's Berlin-era to it; Stylish and unusual'
The album is informed by his travels to India, audiences with spiritual leaders, and wild nights in hotel rooms in Berlin. From reckoning with Californian cults in a Shiva temple in Rishikesh to reading extracts from his novel to an audience of the Berlin art-scene, the new album 'The Golden Hour' promises to be a genre-bending blend of electronic, Indie & alt rock with intricate and esoteric sonic elements that will captivate listeners.
With his unique sound and captivating storytelling, Saint Leonard is a modern-day musical expeditionary, taking his listeners on a journey through all the known unknowns and lesser explored realms of the human experience. Join him on a jazz-post-rock-electronica genre-defying artefact of Berlin-London hard-living and high-weirdness.

PETCH
Thailand
PETCH (Vimolwan Saisathit) is just 14 years old and has been busking on the streets of Bangkok ever since she could walk and hold a guitar, amassing thousands of performances, perfecting her guitar style and oozing confidence. She appeared on ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ when she was only eight years old and judge 16 time Grammy winner DAVID FOSTER predicted great things for her. Undaunted by being in lockdown for eighteen months Petch produced many videos of her covers of legendary artists such as JIMI HENDRIX, JOAN JETT, MOTÖRHEAD and GUNS N ROSES, showcasing her amazing guitar playing. After Covid, Petch was back busking in Bangkok when a cover of ‘Smoke on the Water’ by rock legends DEEP PURPLE came to the attention of RIVERMAN MANAGEMENT, after gaining two million views on Facebook (under Petch’s previous name PETTY ROCK). Riverman found PETCH an agent and she is now being booked for more festivals throughout summer.
