Enda Parker
Irish-born, Enda has been serenading the London acoustic scene with gay abandon, regularly appearing across the city. Having just returned from a six week stint in the US, Enda, occasionally bearded and generally bedraggled, shoots from the hip and aims for the heart. His stripped down and achingly honest sound has been wowing audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
Enda sights Iron and Wine, Justin Vernon and John Grant as primary influences and is regularly compared to Damien Rice and Glen Hansard (it’s most likely the accent). He is currently working on songs for an upcoming studio album, due for release next year.

Escape
Formed a long time before any of us can remember, Escape are a premier five piece live band fronted by the lovely Hayley who have wowed audiences in the South East and beyond. Though based in London, Kent and Surrey we play far and wide if it’s at all possible!
From soft rock to disco, top 40 to 1950s ballads, versatility is the key to our success. We really do know how to get the crowd on their feet.
Jess C
Jess Corrigan is a singer and songwriter from London. Jess recently travelled to see The Vamps in London, which reinforced to her why she’s working so hard to get on the stage – but we think her music speaks for itself, she’s going to go far.
Check out some of her covers and her original songs on YouTube at the link below!

Little Blue Light
Hailing from Orpington, Little Blue Light are bringing their raucous sounds to Knockstock 2015. Formed in 2011, this 6-piece play a mix of swing, folk, reggae and ragtime. Songs focus on love, faith and day to day life, played to melodic anthems, energetic compositions and laid back ditties; through which the band have carved out a pretty unique sound.
Having played around the city this year, they have been described as “one of the most entertaining live bands in London at the moment” and are making numerous festival appearances this summer. The band have released their music video, “The Key“, and are looking to release their debut EP by the end of the year.

Marie White
A Hastings-based singer and songwriter: at just 19 years old, supported established artists such as Barbara Dickson, featured on BBC Radio Kent, and headlined sold out venues such as The Trinity Theatre. After going it alone for many years, a 5 piece covers band was formed, who are often used in an original line up, alongside two incredibly talented backing vocalists.
Now in the process of recording for a new EP “Blue Jumper”, to be released in the early new year! This will be available on iTunes, Spotify, bandcamp and many other well known sites for download.

Milly McCarron
16-year-old Milly was first inspired to pick up an electric guitar by Avril Lavigne when she was 6. A few years later she started singing and now mainly plays acoustic and has added ukulele and piano to her set. She covers a variety of songs from Taylor Swift through to Green Day and also writes and performs her own music. Taylor Swift is a major influence and inspiration to her when writing and she has been told her voice and tone have natural country style.
She plays regularly at pubs, restaurants, coffee shops and music venues around Kent and East Sussex. Music festivals have provided Milly with the experience of playing in front of larger audiences and she has been lucky enough to play on the same bill as Newton Faulkner, Emma Stevens and Grace Savage.
