Gwenifer Raymond
A Welsh multi-instrumentalist who plays original American primitive instrumentals, drawn from the roots music of Mississippi and Appalachia, on finger-style guitar and banjo. Signed to the multi grammy award-nominated label Tompkins Square, her 2020 second album release ‘Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain’ received a rapturous response.
Her latest album ‘Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain’ consists of eight songs, all of which were recorded in a basement flat in central Brighton, locked-down amidst a global pandemic.
Seaming To
Seaming To was born in London and comes from a family of concert pianists. She studied at the Royal Northern College of Music and during her time in Manchester began performing and releasing albums with supergroups Homelife (Ninja Tune) and Graham Massey’s Toolshed. She has appeared on BBC Radio and performed and toured the UK, Europe and the Far East.
To has been described as ‘the voice of a 21st Century’ (Radio1), and an artist that is truly ‘avant garde’ (Robert Wyatt). Her experimental ethos and mastery across a variety of instruments has enabled her to collaborate with some of the most respected and radical artists of this decade in electronic, classical and experimental genres.
Maria Uzor
Merging electro, avant-pop, techno and dub, Maria Uzor is a half Barbadian half Nigerian artist living in the flatlands of Norfolk, UK.
Previously one half of post-punk duo SINK YA TEETH, her solo music twists and mutates its way through its influences, chewing up the sun of its parts and spitting out a groove-laden mash-up that nods to both 90s rave culture and Afro-futurism.
