I'm Havelock, a 20 year old from Kent. I've been involved with music for as long as I can remember. Writing lyrics has always been my outlet - it's the way I best express my feelings. Artists such as Jeff Buckley, Amy Winehouse, Jamie T and The Kooks have played an important part in my music so far. Expect lilting, feel good tracks with jazz infused chords as well as attitude filled, indie rock and roll.

Dervla & Nils are an acoustic duo based between South East London and Kent, since forming over 4 years ago they have  played a number of venues from Brick lane's 93 Feet East to local Kent haunts such as The Forum, Tunbridge Wells. Dervla is the lead vocalist and Nils plays guitar and a range of percussion instruments. The sound produced by the pair is smooth and uncomplicated, the rough tone of Nils' voice works well with the gentle sound of Dervla's and forms a dynamic contrast.

Jack has been tapping his feet to the beat since before he could even walk or talk.  His younger years have been full of music, dance and drama performances – if he wasn’t tinkling the ivories or singing for his supper, he was on stage rocking to the rhythm.

Now seventeen, his creative focus is firmly on his guitar and song writing passions.  Inspired by musicians such as Ben Howard, Lewis Watson and James Bay, Jack picked up the guitar around a year ago and has not stopped playing since.  Enthused by a number of poignant events over a short period, Jack’s songs have that personal touch while at the same time expressing sentiments with a broader reach.

Though he is certainly no stranger to the Local & Live festival, having supported it in one way or another, this will be his debut guitar and pub performance.
