Get ready for something a bit different. With her funky flamenco style, indie, geek-rock tunes, quirky song lyrics and an awesome voice. Fragile Lucy armed with a tiny instrument and a massive personality really is one of most unique musical acts out there

Cat Elliott is a bit of a genre-crossing wild card! Blending acoustic indie pop with alternative folk, her style is difficult to pigeon-hole. A quirky performer with an unusual voice, who swings from powerful and energetic to vulnerable and reflective. Whatever the mood, her catchy and lyrical songs tell stories in a way you're likely to remember.

Equal parts, a jam, a community, a social club, a ukulele ‘boot camp’ and a gigging band. Endeavouring to be a force for good; supporting worthwhile causes, raising money for charity and promoting tolerance, acceptance and diversity by playing good songs with more enthusiasm than ability on tiny instruments. Musically, they steer clear of traditional ukulele tunes, preferring instead to delve into a repertoire that runs from Kylie Minogue to The Clash via The Vaccines and Lady Gaga.

Born and bred in Berlin, Monika studied music before moving to London and later to Southampton. Having spent a long time bringing up a family since, she has now rekindled her musical activity, including songwriting, and become a regular at various open mic nights around Southampton, whilst also co-running the Open Mic at the Dolphin in St Denys every Thursday. Her music is mostly a voice and a guitar, influenced by anything from classic rock to prog, the lyrics ranging from social conscience to politics, interspersed with witty and thoughtful songs, but she stays clear of meaningless bland love songs.

Ged, a singer songwriter for over fourty years and a published author with a series of books 'Neander and the Dark Matter'.  Over the years he has written music for his and other bands, plus two stage shows performed in Hoxton Hall theatre, London. With a blues/rock influence, D'Kenzion is a tilt of the soft cloth cap to the works of Charles Dickens.  The songs whilst light and groovy, are a comment on the world today.
