“That Magic Feeling” and “Summer Sun” have already been nominated for best pop song at the Exposure Music Awards, an organization dedicated to promoting the best new bands in the UK. Pepsi Max used the videos the band made for Live in the Loos (Ep) as a sample of what they were looking for in their Max It Legends competition in 2010. They also used pictures of the band playing live in their online adverts for the competition.
British Clothing firm Jack Wills have used two of the bands track in online adverts.
Great indie pop/rock band, you'll see them in a number of forms. Whether it's their electrifying full band show or their stripped acoustic setup with banjo, accordian and double bass... you're in for a load of fun with this band!

Night Without Sleep
Night Without Sleep are amazed they are still alive. They have fully embraced this lease of life in becoming an acoustic duo comprised of Mad Dogs - Wolff Williams (vocals/guitar) and Jim (Funboy) Loosley (guitar/vocals). Trying hard not to let themselves fall into any one genre of music, they are renowned for their dramatic live shows with their close to the mark lyrics and the ability to get under the skin of the listener, marking them out as true artistic performers. Sitting comfortably away from the safety of uplifting pop they offer songs that are interesting, edgy, full of emotion and very different to anything else you will see. They are currently in the studio recording a couple of EPs which is about time.
Chris Pope
Emerging on the local singer/songwriter scene over a decade ago after a number of years playing in cover bands, Chris was quickly hailed as “an inspiring modern day troubadour who pens lyrics of real substance and meaning.” His music was described as “touching on themes and experiences that people are genuinely able to relate to and which capture the attention of his audience from the very first note, whether listening to him live or on one of his recordings.”
10 years later despite a long battle with tinnitus, the above remains as true as ever but with the added depth and insight that another decade of life experience brings. He has played regularly in the UK as well as at the fringe at SXSW and a number of venues in around Dallas and Austin. He is also one of the very few artists to have been played every Local & Live festival.
Michael Wood
Michael Wood is a singer, songwriter and an acoustic musician.
Michael grew up listening to the likes of the ‘The Who,’ ‘The Jam’ and everything 'mod' and began his own musical career as the second half of a band called ‘Mod Scene’ when he was just 16.
Michael went on to become the lead Singer/Guitarist in an Indie rock band known as ‘The Sessions.’ Michael penned a number of songs for the band and they recorded their own album-‘The Demise of Mike’ in 2011. The band played a UK tour in 2010, before going their separate ways in late 2011.
These days Michael is concentrating on his solo career and already has a solo album under his belt-‘Long Time Coming (2009)’. Michael has recently written his second album, which he will be recording later this summer.
Michael writes all of his own material and his style of music is Indie with a real emphasis on the Acoustic Guitar. Michael cites his own musical influences to be Ocean Colour Scene, The Smiths and Paul Weller.
