Go ahead, ransack any corner of the Hello Operator catalogue, and as if placing all your pennies on a school tombola, you’re likely to return with tales of hoity-toity monsters, animals behaving badly, Hamburg backstreets and Caribbean loose change. Indeed, over the past few years, the band has continually come up with the goods, carefully adding to their basket of infectious, cocksure sing-a-longs.

Founded on a shared affinity for rock ‘n’ roll, hip-hop and soulful melodies, the North Yorkshire four piece have been steadily braising a world of their own. Throughout their sound weaves an undercurrent of fuzzy guitars, thumping bass and drums, and an unmistakable vocal “I watched a clip of Otis Rush belting out ‘I Can’t Quit You Baby’ and thought - I’ve gotta learn to sing like that!” – Max Dalton.
What’s clear is this: it is a music born of the moment yet marinated in the best of the past. 

2020 will see Hello Operator release their debut album and it’s sure to be a hell of a ride.

Stranger to ourselves than to anybody else.

For almost 100 years, Help Musicians has been providing help, support and opportunities to empower musicians at all stages of their lives. 

It is an independent charity which aims to make a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians, offering a wide spectrum of support which includes; an integrated programme combining Health & Welfare services with Creative development funding, ground breaking research, a mental health helpline for the entire music industry and an incredibly popular hearing health scheme which aims to prevent hearing problems that would otherwise bring musicians’ careers to an untimely end.

Working in partnership with others to grow its impact, it’s passionate about creating a world where musicians thrive.

MALKA first made waves on the music scene as Tamara Schlesinger, the frontwoman of acclaimed alt-folk collective 6 Day Riot and also as a prolific songwriter. Her past work has been included in a host of high-profile syncs for TV series and Hollywood blockbusters – most notably Skins, Scream 4 and 127 Hours.

Now as MALKA - she weaves mesmeric percussive rhythms among a charge of 
irresistible call and response chants and instantaneous melodies. She explores a carnival of global sounds intertwined with an explorative affirming message.

Her highly praised debut album 'Marching to Another Beat' received steady support at 6music from the likes of Lauren Laverne, Chris Hawkins, Nemone and Steve Lamacq and syncs on both MTV and Netflix. Her latest release “Breakout”  has been played on 6music, Radio X and has been playlisted on BBC Radio Scotland has had coverage on high profile press such as The Independent, The Line Of Best Fit and Drowned In Sound.

Cutting together malign heaviness and borderline nihilism, with acidic melody then tied into place by the reigns of contagious pop. Sick Joy's blood is dirtied with echoes of Nirvana, Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins. Although birthed in Newcastle, Sick Joy moved south to Brighton in September 2016 and played their first show to a sold out Patterns with fellow north-to-Brighton bands Demob Happy and Tigercub.
