10th Anniversary Week: Ian Knapp, Zoe Nicol, The Breretons, The Creatures of Habit, The Diarys, Thursday 6th August 2015

The Creatures of Habit, well, what can I say?
Singing ditties by night, hunting rabbits by day.
They delve in to dark & mysterious themes
And sometimes things just aren't what they seem
You might recognise them, you may think you know,
You could be a stranger, a friend or a foe
But know one thing, if it's all that you do;
The Creatures of Habit are coming for you...

The Creatures of Habit's influences include Saucy Arabellas, Cheeky Vino & Charlotte Brereton's face!

The Diarys never went away, always placing bets and moving forwards, changing lanes not direction. We have a band that made a pact many years ago to keep going until the bitter end. Its been a collaboration that enables the music to just fit into the grooves of their day to day living. If walls could talk, London boy & Heart mind and soul has told the story so far. Lets see what the future holds for these old wolves. There is talk of a retreat studio in the hills. They said they were bringing back the sound of the wind howling through the trees.

Zoe Nicol Biog

Singer Songwriter Zoë Nicol is a maverick in the world of folk music- a storyteller with a lyrical twist, but more than that, Zoë is an artist who possesses the rare ability to leave an audience breathless. “I recall the moment I first heard Zoë sing I felt completely moved and inspired, you could hear a pin drop as the audience listened intently, everyone present was totally absorbed by her performance. Her songs are beautifully crafted, rich in both melody and creative edge” Music promoter - Paul Dunton

Zoë grew up with the influence of Joni Mitchell and Eva Cassidy who inspired her to become the sincere and heartfelt artist her fans have come to love. Her debut EP entitled ‘Walk Against The wind’ was released in the summer of 2008 and sold out by the winter of that same year. Her captivating stage presence is embellished further by her modest and enchanting persona, she is able to reach out and connect to an audience through her live performances and recordings.

Zoë hails from Tunbridge Wells in Kent. She graduated in 2010 from LIPA (also known as the Paul McCartney Music School) studying performance and song writing, as well as recording her full-length debut album titled “These Are The Stories”, released in April 2010.

Zoë is now pursuing her music in London as part of the band Worry Dolls but still continues to write and perform solo on special occasions. Zoë was given the opportunity to support Joan Armatrading in November 2012 twice, both solo and as part of the band. Worry Dolls released their first EP In February 13 which is available for download from www.worrydollsmusic.com. Zoe is currently performing regularly as part of Worry Dolls and working on the next release.
