Freddie and Charlie Frampton, born, raised and home educated on the Orkney Isles, have always had a love for music.

From a young age they began performing with their parents in their family band and have continued on as a duo, developing their songs and performing around the country.

Charlie is now studying musical theatre at The Brit School, Freddie focuses her time on songwriting and they both play a large range of musical instruments.

In February 2018 they reached the final 10 of the BBC Young Folk Awards and were able to join other young musicians for a weekend in the Lake District.

They are currently in the process of recording their songs to produce their first album and hope to release that some time in the near future.

Meg Jordan is an 18 year old singer-songwriter who has been performing live for the last 3 or 4 years. Her performance experience ranges from gigs in cafés and pubs to weddings and private functions. Meg has been writing her own music since she began teaching herself the guitar and now has an album worth of her own songs which she is hoping to record in the coming year. Others have described her song-writing as humerous and relatable with a unique edge which makes her music recognisable. As well as playing the guitar she often accompanies herself on the piano and as well as this is a talented violinist, which she incorporates in her recorded work more than her live performaces (for now). Currently studying at Loughborough University, Meg is now performing outside of the southeast, hoping to develop her skills as a performer to a wider audience.

Vispers

Vispers is a cutting-edge alternative/indie-rock troubadour outfit based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. It is masterminded by Matt Bassett, which is another way of saying that Vispers is a thinly veiled distraction from the fact that Matt Bassett is a white boy with a guitar, doling out bare feelings in three-to-four minute chunks.

When, as a fifteen year old girl growing up in downtown São Paulo, he realised he could pass off songs that seem to be about one thing (e.g. ghosts, criminals, space) but are ACTUALLY about another (i.e. fancying people) as 'metaphors', he knew pseudo-punk poet-pop was his calling. Eight years later Matt has decided he should therefore actually play live. 

Oasis and The Libertines sparked and sealed Matt's love for music. Predictably other influences include Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths and Pulp. Also Florence + the Machine and Vampire Weekend (Matt can be arty), Guns 'N' Roses (Matt can be heavy) and Lana Del Rey (Matt can surprise you with his breadth of musical taste).
