Lewis Bootle: Winner of Best Unsigned Male 2015, Lewis Bootle is a story-telling musician from Hertfordshire. He’s recently supported Frank Turner, had track of the week on BBC Introducing, selected for the BBC 6 Mixtape and reached the top 10 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart! Described as “Paolo Nutini singing Ed Sheeran” Lewis is currently gigging relentlessly across the UK and working on his 2nd EP.
Lisa Wright: After spontaneously booking a flight to Nashville and working with some of Music City’s top producers, Lisa Wright released her debut EP ‘Before I Die’, where it entered into the iTunes country charts at No.4 – making her the only independent, UK artist in the Top 20. Since then, her tracks have featured heavily on country radio as well as BBC Introducing/BBC Local Radio and in December 2015, Lisa was recognised by the Nashville Songwriters Association as the ‘One to Watch’.
