Lazy Heart Parade are a seven-piece indie-folk band based in London. They play songs of nostalgic romance with a bitter edge, combining the folk stylings of mandolin, viola and ukulele with instantly appealing melodies and charming lyrical reflections on modern city life. 

Formed in London 2012, Bear’s Den have amassed a dedicated and international fan base with their anthemic indie-folk-rock. With 3 studio albums under their belt, as well as recent collaborative project “Fragments"with composer Paul Frith, they have been a regular fixture in the charts of UK and Europe since their inception. Their Debut album “Islands” also garnered a nomination for an Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.  

Having toured around the world playing theatres, arenas and festivals (including Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury Festival, Pukkelpop, Lowlands and Bonnaroo), in 2019, following the release of their third album “So That You Might Hear Me" they returned to their origins for a tour of tiny "Highlands and Islands" venues across Scotland and a supporting documentary.  No stranger to music documentary making, the band also featured heavily in the award winning documentary Austin To Boston alongside Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Staves. 

The band’s most recent release, 2020’s “Fragments” is a collaborative work with acclaimed composer/arranger Paul Frith (Bear’s Den, The xx, Radiohead), taking highlights of the band’s back catalogue and rebuilding them from the ground up, alongside an orchestral ensemble, creating a completely new body of work from pieces of the originals.

Mela is a Bristol-based singer/producer duo.

The two – Pete Horsham producing and Jo Case, singing – have been friends for years, but never realised the magnitude and satisfaction of the ‘click’ when working together. A true collaboration, all tracks are written together: Jo’s voice and musical talent are complemented perfectly by Pete’s skilled production. And whilst they’re not shy of a nod towards the dance music scene, Mela’s sound is distinctively entrancing and very, very beautiful.

"Such a great gospel feel on this track..."
Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6

"...each song [has] its own dynamic and texture, whilst keeping the listener's ear open to every new step and swagger that this album walks...warm emotional, heroic, moving, sometimes completely bonkers, but always true to itself..."
Jackson Cooper, RivieraFM

"Possibly the best band PR department going..."
James Santer, BBC Introducing Devon

"... a new band to my ears, I love the groove and the swagger of this tune and really should search out some more."

"...a sparse basic sound building to a swell of sweet harmonies over a bedrock of folk-americana (with a small a 'cos it sounds very British), the following up wave of new alt-country that first broke with the Broken Family Band." 
Quentin Burton - Mr.Wolfs, Bristol

"First thoughts...Pentangle and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young had a baby and they called it Mozura."
Pete Shields - Chagstock
