Nelly Furtado
From humble beginnings with folky-pop ballad I’m Like A Bird, Nelly Furtado has proved herself as one of the driving forces in female R’n’B. Known for her musical eclecticism, experimenting with styles as diverse as pop, hip-hop, R’n’B and Latin, it’s her unique, Hispanic-tinged voice that has gained her most notoriety. In 2006, she won the Best Female Rock/Pop Act at the World Music Awards, gaining a place next to musical royalty Madonna, Beyonce and Kanye West.

Faithless
Rollo Armstrong, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz became one of the UK's top contemporary dance acts in the 1990s / 2000s and are famed for such hits as 'Insomnia' and 'God Is A DJ'. Festival favourites, the band performed at all of the big festivals, frequently turning a crowd of thousands into a giant mosh pit. After Maxi Jazz passed away in December 2022 the band decided to continue recording and returned to live shows in 2024. Almost three decades on from the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Reverence’, Faithless have established themselves as one of the most influential electronic acts of the 21st century – selling over 20 million albums, including seventeen Top 40 singles, six Top 10 albums (three at #1), and amassing over a billion combined streams to date. The band’s cultural significance is unparalleled - leading the charge of dance acts cutting through on a global level, and showing promoters that electronic music deserves its place on the main stages – their 2002 Glastonbury performance proving this to aplomb. Faithless have proved it’s possible to achieve both critical and commercial success while delivering boundary pushing dance music with feeling and integrity.
