Appearing:
James Bay
James Bay is an artist and songwriter from Hitchin. Only in his early twenties, he has already grasped a mature gravelled vocal. His influences include Corrine Bailey Rae, Bill Withers, Adele and James Taylor. Relying on his creative strengths as a guitarist and songwriter, Bay weaves together lyrical guitar work with pop-hook melodies, for a fresh take on the Rock/Pop genre. He’s been called “a folksier Ed Sheeran”, but also has a lot in common with fellow acoustic songwriter George Ezra.

Freya Ridings
Freya Ridings was the British breakthrough success story of 2018. Her 2017 song ‘Lost Without You’ peaked at Number 9 in the Official Chart and stayed in the Top 10 for 8 weeks. A hymn to lost love and regret, the single had over 100 million streams in the months following its release and was added to BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and Capital FM playlists. Contending with being incredibly shy and feeling isolated at school, Freya found her extraordinary voice when she was invited to perform at an open-mic night when she was just 12 years old. Freya has distilled a short lifetime of uncertainty into greatness with one of the most powerful voices in a generation.
