Jake Martin:
Jake Martin is a UK based singer songwriter
For the last 10 years, Jake Martin has toured almost non stop propelling his music to audiences both at home and abroad with extensive tours in the UK, Australia, America and across mainland Europe. Jake's undeniable stage presence, energy and sing-along anthems have earned him a strong and loyal fanbase and shows with some of the biggest names in his field. Jake has toured and shared stages with names such as Gaz Brookfield, Ferocious Dog, Frank Turner, The Levellers, New Model Army, Will Varley and many more.
Jake's sound is a distinctively energetic and engaging blend of acoustic punk and melodic indie-folk. He intelligently blends tales of life, love and the road, with dark satire, politics, and his own cheeky brand of off-key humour. Add Jake's witty ability to captivate and animate any crowd, his undeniable stage presence and the love clearly shared between the singer and the audience and you have a show you will be remembering for a while!
Mexican Dave:
Mexican Dave is a rising folk-punk artist based in Bristol. Following the release of his debut EP, Kinda Wasted, he has taken his energetic performances across the UK, playing everywhere from intimate pubs and cozy house shows to renowned venues and major festivals like 2000 Trees, Beautiful Days, and Barnstomper.
Mexican Dave has recently shared the stage with notable acts such as Nick Parker, Imprints, Henshaw, and Fraser Morgan, captivating audiences with his raw, heartfelt songs about mental health, wild nights out, and the ups and downs of navigating life.
Blake Cateris:
The Australian Sydneysider fuses the genres of folk singer-songwriter, with his punk music background and has a musical resume that many dream of, having shared the stage with the likes of Brett Lee, Beans On Toast, Frank Turner, CJ Ramone, Ben Marwood, Danny Worsnop, Guttermouth, Bodyjar, Hard-Ons, Gyroscope, 28 Days and The Getaway Plan.
Cateris has turned over a new leaf with his folk inspired singer-songwriter solo project, drawing inspiration from the writings of songwriters that connect at the core of the soul, fusing the stories with the honesty of real-life events.

Jess Marie:
Fresh out of South Wales, Jess Marie picked up the ukulele during lockdown 2020 adding her melodic tones to a variety of rock, folk and indie covers. She stepped into the world of Open Mic nights and began gaining the confidence to perform publicly, whilst also writing her own folk style music inspired by artists such as First Aid Kit, Far From Saints and Frank Turner, then jumped in the deep end by gigging all over the country supporting bands such as Oxbowlake and Pet Needs as well as playing Festivals such as Barnstomper, Big Love, Chickenstock and Here For The Music, captivating audiences with her relatable songs and honest banter.
