Simon Carpenter (Business Development & Marketing Manager) – Do Nothing
“Nottingham has an exceptional music scene and produced so many great acts, and none better than Do Nothings who have become the breakthrough band of 2019. A little bit like Talking Heads with an added dash of The Strokes plus a twist of The Fall all add up to a truly potent cocktail.”
Elizabeth Gracie (Social Media Manager) – YONAKA
“I love rock and so I’m a fan of anything with a guitar turned up nasty and loud but I like a bit of pop now and then too which is why I really enjoyed YONAKA’s killer debut album ‘Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow’ which came out this year. I’ve heard good things about their live sets so looking forward to seeing them.”
Louise Barr (Marketing Manager) – Black Honey
“Any band featuring fierce woman is definitely what I’m about and Black Honey have this rebel spirit which totally appeals to me. They keep getting bigger and bigger so this might be my last chance to see them before they start moving up to playing arena tours.”
Jimi Arundell (Web Content Manager) – Heavy Lungs
“Seriously, this festival has so many killer bands playing that I absolutely love. I’ll definitely be seeing the strange alt rock of Kagoule, fiery post punk from LIINES and October Drift who are poised to become massive. But if I have to choose just one, then it’s the unhinged riotous mania of Bristol boys Heavy Lungs – every gig they play explodes!”
Ryan Fitzjohn (Business Development Manager) – Jaws
“Really loving the new Jaws record ‘The Ceiling’, it’s such an emotionally powerful record with some great punchy numbers too which has really taken the band to the next level. They have been on the cusp of greatness for a while now, and I think this is even a contender for album of the year!”
