Benji Tranter
"Beautifully crafted" - Adam Walton, BBC Wales
After a hiatus of over five years, Welsh songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Benji Tranter returns with debut solo album Songs to Make You Happy, coming out 20th January on Pear O’ Legs Records.
With a lo-fi, home-recorded approach, Benji builds the album around stark acoustic guitars and his idiosyncratic voice, with embellishments from a menagerie of instruments, played by Benji and a collection of friends. What emerges is a charming, chaotic collection of vignettes; diary entries, polaroid snapshots, and notebook poems, with musical nods to influences like Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst and Nick Drake.
“Enchanting” - Fresh on the Net
The All Night Chemist
Formed around the singer and banjo player Jimmy Grayburn, The All Night Chemist are the newest wannabe dad-rock folk space adventure four piece on the thriving London scene. Just a bit too earnest to be truly tongue and cheek, their songs celebrate and mock the mundane while stirring the soul.
Anything from cheesy pop bangers about mobile phones, to moody trad folk exploring the modern-day fur industry, their music has storytelling at its heart.
Daniel Lukes
Singer, songwriter, guitarist and luthier Daniel Lukes will be brining us his amazing music performed on his own custom guitar.
