Scissor Sisters

Scissor Sisters burst onto the scene in the early 2000s with a colourful, boundary-pushing style that blended glam rock, pop, and disco, breaking down barriers in LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream music. In 2012, following almost a decade of dominating the music scene, including collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Pharrell Williams and Calvin Harris and performances all over the world including Glastonbury, Coachella and V Festival, the band announced an indefinite hiatus. But in 2024 they announced a comeback with a huge live tour.

Pet Shop Boys

Pop pioneers and electropop dance gurus, Neil & Chris are the most successful recording duo in British history, selling over 100 million records worldwide. Accolades include their 2009 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution To Music while in 2017 the NME crowned them with the Godlike Genius award. Despite their association with the 80s and 90s, they are never ones to live in the past, continuing to push boundaries and new ideas with an ever-prolific output, from recording new albums to writing for theatre and ballet.

Olly Murs

'In case you didn't know', Olly Murs was the runner-up of The X Factor in 2009. The loveable Essex boy found his own style and sound and went straight to no.1 with his debut single 'Please Don't Let Me Go', then later scored a further three no.1 singles along with four no.1 albums including 2016's '24 Hours'. The cheeky chappie certainly found himself at the 'right place, right time' and things have 'never been better'.

The Lathums

Wigan Indie four-piece who were peronally chosen by Tim Burgess of The Charlatans to play Kendal Calling. "Luscious jangle pop guitar layered through whimsical vocals and harmonies that fuse The Smiths and The Bluetones into a new, Britpop-tinted, hope for the future" - The Zine UK

Sam Ryder

As the world was being put in to lockdown in March 2020 - Sam uploaded the first of his now infamous covers. They quickly caught the attention of some famous fans (think Justin Bieber, Sia, Alicia Keys and Elton John) – with compilations of his videos appearing on The Ellen Show, BBC’s Newsbeat and more. As the videos kept coming, so did the fans. Fast forward 7 months and Sam rounded-off his incredible year with TikTok crowning his account as the most popular UK artist account of 2020 - beating the likes of Dua Lipa, Lewis Capaldi and Liam Payne. His popularity and talent was soon rewarded as Sam was given the opportunity to represent the UK at Eurovision in 2022. His song Space Man finished in second place, which was the best result the UK had achieved for over 20 years.

The Wailers

From 1973 to 1980, Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded, toured, and performed before countless millions worldwide. Since 1981, Familyman and Junior have carried on the mission to “keep The Wailers together,” just as Bob requested, affirming: “By doing that, you keep me alive through the music.” In tribute to the late co-founder and drummer Carlton “Carly” Barrett, The Wailers present Aston Barrett, Jr. on drums. It’s startling how this young powerhouse delivers with his uncle’s inspiring trademark style. Lead singer Joshua David Barrett is a Rastaman by lifestyle and culture. Josh delivers Bob’s powerful message of Jah love and unity through his performance and interaction with the audience. Also on stage are singers Shema McGregor, daughter of I Three Judy Mowatt, and Hassanah, a multi-cultural powerhouse; veteran Owen “Dreadie” Reid on guitar/bass, and “triple bubble king” Javaughn Bond on keyboards. There are more than 100 million Bob Marley & The Wailers recordings sold, including 1977’s Exodus, anointed Best Album of the Century in 1999 by Time Magazine, and “One Love,” named Song of the Millennium that same year by BBC. Spin Magazine listed Bob Marley & The Wailers at #4 of the “50 Greatest Bands of All Times,” while The New York Times named Bob Marley the most significant musician of the 20th century. These accolades were made possible by the creative, timeless, and distinctive music, lyrics and production of these incomparable Wailers musicians.
