Endless Summer

Bent but Not Broken

I sang “Colours” last night as a small tribute, with just my voice over acoustic guitar and a soft organ humming underneath. As I reached the first verse, the simple melody felt very close, and the organ filled in just enough warmth without overpowering the guitar. The mix of guitar and organ gave the song a slightly different texture than the classic folk version, but I felt it still honored Donovan’s spirit.

When I sang the lines about yellow, blue, green, and freedom, I could feel the emotional weight in the quiet moments — the organ would swell just enough to support, then pull back to let the acoustic strings lead. Performing it that way made me appreciate how delicate the song is, how much space it allows for expression. It was a modest tribute, but I felt connected to the song’s mood in every line.

Nocturne - EP

Transatlantic Flight

Charlie Cunningham has emerged as a truly under-the-radar success story. He has headlined London’s iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall and has become a regular fixture in Europe’s most prestigious concert halls. Splitting his time between piano and nylon string guitar, Charlie creates melancholic yet rhythmically driven songs. When expressed with his warm voice and characteristic restraint, something timeless takes shape.

Despite his dyslexia making it near impossible for him to read music, Charlie earned a music degree and by his mid-20s worked a variety of odd jobs and wrote songs in his free time. Eventually, he moved to Seville, immersed himself in Flamenco music and focussed intensely on his guitar playing. Planning to stay for 3 months, he stayed for 3 years. Once home, Charlie found work playing in bars across London and Oxford ¬—eventually returning to songwriting. Charlie has subsequently released 2 albums and 4 eps which have garnered over half a billion streams.

Next on the horizon is his third album Frame. A collection of lush, delicate pop songs brimming with references to art rock, golden era jazz, and neo-classical composition—all the while maintaining the pared-back and clear-eyed musicality for which he is so well recognised. Throughout the album, Charlie and long-time producer, Sam Hudson Scott, create the fragility, power and tension found in timeless songwriting, reanimated through a modern lens.
