Fellow kindness crusaders, Logan & Manley are two best friends that met in the Northern town of Hebden Bridge. Their music is soulful, feel good and celebratory peppered with a pinch of cheeky reggae. Live, they loop a sonic landscape of dynamic vocals, guitars and drums building a force for counter culture truth and good vibrations. 

Terry’s thoughtfully crafted song writing caught the ear of acclaimed producer John Garden (Scissor Sisters/Alison Moyet). The pair recorded their first EP ‘Believe it a Little’ with John at his Late Night Production Studios (released 2017) which received widespread praise.  John deemed them “an extraordinary new talent” and “a real honour to work with” A&R Factory saying, “her voice is a fantastic mix of vulnerability and warmth” and Tony Rigg Ministry of Sound saying, "Singing and making music is their Dharma"   

Since their first gig in 2016 supporting Chris Helme of the Seahorses they have gone on to headline their own UK EP tour and supported Dreadzone on their album tour, Kioko as part of Love Music Hate Racism, My Baby in Berlin as part of their European Tour and the Haggis Horns at their album launch.  They have also become favourites at Cloudspotting Festival, Head for the Hills, Festival 23, Green Gathering, Solfest, Eden Festival, Super Weird Happenings and Hebden Folk Roots Festival. 

Terry Logan and Chris Manley’s artistic journeys have proved to be the perfect apprenticeship for the meeting of musical minds.  

Terry found her love for music at an early age playing the African Drums and teaching herself to sing and play piano. Passing the phase of the shy bedroom singer, she joined forces with Leeds based hip hop band, The Loose Wires, where she honed her vocal acrobatics.  Later, she developed her own soul and blues band where she learnt how to craft original songs from array of standards.   

It was when she travelled back to her roots in Guyana, that she picked up a little guitar called Freedom and began writing songs about the human experience that resonated her true creative purpose. Terry’s super vibes and original voice have seen her sing with the legendary Lee Scratch Perry, Geno Washington and Mr Scruff.  

Chris Manley began to forge his guitar style in traditional classical music. With this foundation, Chris soared into a musical journey spanning genre and the desire to create his hybrid stylistic approach was born. Chris soon became a unique and accomplished performer.   

Chris was driven to take the guitar to challenging musical areas and became the rhythm and lead guitarist for live jungle and breakbeat outfits performing across the UK.

FOLK PHENOMENON “The most interesting duo we have seen live in recent memory. Exceptional presence and burning talent."

Featured on BBC Radio 4, 6 and BBC Introducing, UK based BRUCH's blend of cinematic electronica continues to fascinate audiences throughout the country. 

“Captured immediately by BRUCH’s cavernous, enveloping and cleansing vocals (gently reminiscent of Aurora), I’m absolutely enchanted by the palpable atmosphere that she creates. As the textures and sheer aural impact develop and brilliantly original percussive layers are introduced, the song builds to a stunning and truly inspired climax.”
Will O'Brien - ISLAND RECORDS A&R 
 
BRUCH's music is powered by the fight for our planet and the state of socio-political affairs. Sometimes, music can reach further than mere spoken words. If more awareness can be spread through word or music, greater understanding can fuel the movement to protect our earth. BRUCH’s latest single, We Don’t Care About You, challenges the lack of action on a corporate and governmental scale in response to the climate crisis and rapid ecological breakdown. 
 
Her music has been featured on BBC Introducing and Radio 6. 
 
Following her first four 4 singles, BRUCH'S long-awaited debut EP, Autis, was released December 8th, 2018 on all major platforms, with three tracks from the EP - Before Our Time, Crown. (Autis Edit) and Tortoise Skin - premiered on BBC Introducing Solent in the run-up to the release, to great praise from both the hosts and listeners alike, and BRUCH was recently invited to perform the tracks in the live lounge.
