Australian composer, pianist, vocalist and environmentalist.

Russell Swallow is one of those lucky pre-Brexit kids who spent two years living between London and Berlin. His sound is a refreshing synthesis of the classic British singer-songwriter tradition blended with ambient Berlin soundscapes. He uses confessional lyrics and allegorical storytelling to create songs that range from hushed, prayer-like confessionals to soaring, indie epics. 
 
Swallow established himself as a solo artist after moving to Berlin in 2016 and has since toured extensively throughout Europe, playing over 300 shows in seven countries, with festivals in London, Germany, Switzerland and France. He has been support for the likes of Kimberly Anne, Leddra Chapman and Kal Lavelle and performed at venues such as Kantine am Berghain (Berlin), Green Note & Union Chapel (London).
 
Inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley, and Jon Martyn, Swallow taught himself to write songs by blending his passion for poetry and short stories with his newfound love of indie-driven sounds, whilst growing up in Suffolk.
 
Remixes from latest EP Body Like Braille are released this Summer, with new self produced music coming later this year. The record captures Swallow’s haunting vocals, shimmering electric guitar and lush electronics.

TPS, aka Tom Price-Stephens, is a South Wales-born musical dreamer and mainstay of the London music scene.

Over the last two years he has performed at festivals, cafés, bars, venues and street corners. Wherever Tom performs he takes the same show that fills living rooms and somehow it makes venues like the Bedford and Montreaux Jazz Café (Harrods) feel like home.

Tom's ability to capture a crowd’s attention is second to none, and his voice has been described as "dipped in honey and dried by rich tobacco smoke".
