Laura Jayne

With her bubbly personality, colourful hair and contagiously catchy tunes, indie pop queen Eliza May stands out from the crowd. Using intricate harmonies and captivating melodies, Eliza’s unique vibe is refreshing the scene. Eliza’s played big festivals such as Y Not?, 110 Above, Godiva Festival and LeeStock Festival, opened the main stage at Pub in the Park and supported big artists like Kate Nash, Tiffany and Reverend and the Makers making the last two years her best to date.

Eliza made 2024 a year to remember by capturing the nostalgic vibe of summer with her uplifting new single “Got My Love”. As the first single from her upcoming third EP, “Got My Love” shares the deep feelings Eliza felt when moving in with her partner for the first time and takes influences from the likes of Cassia and Olivia Dean to create a feel-good, chilled out summer anthem.

To support the release, Eliza performed on The Nest stage at Truck Festival after being championed and picked by DORK Magazine and supported pop legend Gabrielle on the main stage at Hereford Indie Food Festival. With support from blogs/stations across the UK including BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, GMTF Radio and Music Crowns, you don’t want to miss out on Eliza’s delightfully addictive sound and positively radiant energy in 2025.

Dictator

Daring, dynamic and devastating–West Lothian’s Dictator aren’t here to mess about, at least when it comes to creating non–stop indie–pop anthems anyway.

Stepping out of their shell with a substantial stomp in their stride, the four–piece–consisting of vocalist Michael Campbell, guitarist Zach Tarimo Goodhur, bassist Joe Murty, and drummer Allan Ramsay–refuse to be pigeon holed, as they emphatically strut through a sonic landscape of inventive indie licks, electrifying electronics, and perfectly prodigious pop grooves.

Forming as a group of musicians from similar circuits simply seeking solace in jam sessions, what first blossomed in a small studio room represented recreational creative release, before blooming into a band of boundary–bulldozers producing colossal sing–alongs for the masses. With inspiration drawn from fellow genre–defiers: Gorrilaz, Glass Animals and Alt–J among others, Dictator’s musical boundaries know no limits–instead conveying their collectively charismatic personalities via the medium of originality and experimentation and channelled through a series of sumptuous synths, bone–shaking basslines, brash beats and playful–cum–tender lyricism.

Make no mistake, everything you hear is intentional, dictating notes to their needs purposefully to deliver euphoric, upbeat choruses with just a dollop of heartbreak in between.

Bartholomew School

Once again we are delighted to showcase some of the talent from the music department of Bartholomew School

Silvi

In a relatively short space of time, Silvi has racked up quite the CV. Having only started making her distinct alt-pop music during the pandemic, she’s already headlined King Tut’s, showcased at Wide Days and starred in a BBC documentary about the West Lothian music scene, among other accolades. It’s quite impressive, I’m sure you’ll agree. When it comes to her musical style, Silvi is chameleonic, as comfortable singing a heartfelt ballad as she is rapping bars over indie soundscapes, and everything else in between.

The Dyfies

The Dyfies return from Wales to treat us to another acoustic set. The pure tone of the flute meanders over and around the rhythm of the guitar and a mature, raw voice. Playing original songs and arrangements of tunes both familiar and obscure… from traditional folk to rock anthems, The Dyfies take them and turn them into something new. For you. From the Dyfi valley in West Wales. Enjoiwch!

Frets and Strings

Frets and Strings: The Band is a collective of local musicians put together as a house band for regular acoustic music nights at Fritwell village hall (Fritwell Live). We  play quirky acoustic versions of popular hits from the 60’s to present day.
