From presenting her BBC Radio 2 shows, to supporting Liza Minnelli at Kenwood House, performing at the Royal Albert Hall with the John Wilson Orchestra as part of the BBC Proms, picking up one of BASCA’s coveted Gold Badge awards alongside Mick Hucknell and Joan Armatrading, not to mention being crowned Yorkshire Arts Personality of the Year for a second time, Clare Teal can do it all – which is how her concerts can cover such a huge spectrum of sounds and genres so wonderfully.

And although rooted in the jazz traditions of the 1930’s and 40’s, the main focus is on Clare’s interpretations and delivery of some of the greatest songs British songs of the last 100 years.
From Ivor Novello and Noel Coward to Annie Lennox and Snow Patrol, the show wends its way through 100 years of pure class.

Common Tongues release their new single Solitary Thinker via Dawson Breed Music.
Hailing from the shores of Brighton in the UK, Common Tongues were formed in 2010 by childhood friends growing up together in Cambridge, Tom Anderson and Oli Hinkins. The band combine their love of tender and emotive song writing with a passion for experimentation and atmospherics. They mix an attention to memorable yet complex melodies with the percussive explosions of Efterklang and Local Natives. They also cite Yann Tiersen, Villagers, Radiohead and Brian Wilson as inspiration.

Sebastopol is a London three-piece formed in 2010.  Their debut album and single were released in late 2012 to positive reviews and comparisons with “a modern, darker reboot of The Police”. The band has been played on numerous UK radio stations and has done two interviews and acoustic sessions for the BBC. Interviewers and reviewers have noted the band’s strong 1940s ‘austere’ visual identity in all photos, videos and performances, and sometimes refer to Sebastopol as “The Masters of Monochrome”.
"...quirky, heartfelt, soaring, pointed and poignant" Green Man

The band consists of Nick Powell on vocals and bass, Phil Richards on guitar and Tom Standage on drums. The album's title is a wartime radio call-sign from the 1940s, signalling the start of a message. For the band it has the double meaning of introducing a simpler and starker musical approach. The album contrasts upbeat melodies with lyrical themes dominated by imagery of failure, loss, water and rebirth. Also, vampires and Zeppelins.

An absinthe of garage, rock, indie-pop, blues-punk and the distinct timbre and vulnerability of Hoda’s voice, at times reminiscent of Hazel O’Connor and Lene Lovich.
Raging Waves is like a musical storm set to become an anthem for all who have been engulfed by hopelessness, doubt and fear and who have through love, dedication and above all courage, arisen victorious. A warrior, a rocker and a woman of heart, Hoda has charted a unique course through the tides of her cultural and religious background. Her new single Raging Waves gives us an absolute bearing with which to chart our own.

Valentiine are a 3 piece all-girl garage rock band from Melbourne, Australia.
'Love Like' is their debut UK single for Integrity Records. The band have been featured heavily online including the Guardian's new music site at the no. 1 Best Australian Band You Have Yet to Hear of. They are also on the current playlist at Amazing Radio.  

Valentiine are Vanessa (guitar/vocals), Erica (bass/vocals) and Shelly (drums/vocals), 3 girls who reincarnate the heavy 90’s into something beautiful - dirty pop hooks drowned in the honesty of screaming vocals with seething cheerleader harmonies over the top.  Their live shows fill the room with a dark beauty and simple melodies that’ll rent a room in your head and refuse to leave.  

After 3 years earning their musical stripes, crowding out Melbourne’s most loved dirty little pubs and playing the likes of St. Kilda Fest and the Cherry Rock festival, they left their iconic combi van behind and in September 2012 set off on a European tour covering 22 shows throughout UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, including sets at OxJam Festival in Leicester and Grungapolooza festival in Leipzig, Germany.
The album and a UK tour follow in June.   www.valentiine.com  www.integrityrecords.co.uk
