Rob C is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and producer hailing from Plymouth, UK.  Plymouth looms large in Rob’s song-writing output, with many of his songs featuring local characters – both real and imaginary – along with local landmarks and landscapes.  All that feeds into Rob's world view and out of the other end comes all this stuff. Rob performs live as either a solo artist or with his rockin' electric combo, C Force.

Al Shalliker is a singer-songwriter and musician from the city of Plymouth in England. The lead songwriter for Plymouth band Watershed, who were prolific live performers nationwide over a period of more than 20 years, Al is now producing music as a solo artist. His debut album, ‘Silver Linings’, was released in April 2021 and featured the three singles ‘Where all the Music Comes From’, ‘The Voyage’ and 'Hopeless Heart'. 

Al's new album 'The Diamond Hill' is released on Friday 8th November 2024. The first single 'Time Out Of Mind', 'a surrealist retrospective of the hedonistic lifestyle' is released on Friday 11th October 2024. The second single 'Six White Horses', 'paying homage to the passing of previous generations' is released on Friday 25th October 2024.

Watershed’s early music was heavily influenced by reggae and soul but there was always a significant diversity to Al’s songwriting, which gave the band their own distinctive sound. Watershed self-produced their debut album, ‘Moves’, in 1995, which enabled them to secure a record deal. The two albums that followed, ‘Strange Days and Dynamite’ (2002) and particularly ‘The Eyes of Eli Wallach’ (2006), saw the band gradually take on more of a folk-rock style, again marked by the ingenuity of Al’s songcraft.
 
Al’s first solo album, ‘Silver Linings’, which is embellished by a number of guest musicians, features a fresh reworking of a few of his older songs but is mostly made up of previously unreleased new material. Influenced by the classic songwriters yet highly original, ‘Silver Linings’ is a powerful representation of Al’s inimitable style, made relevant for a new audience.
 
‘Where All the Music Comes From’ released 5th April 2021
 
‘Where all the Music Comes From’ was the opening track and first single from Al Shalliker’s 2021 debut solo album, ‘Silver Linings’. Although initially written a number of years ago, the song was reinvented for this project. Featuring hook-driven harmonica playing and layered with harmony, ‘Where all the Music Comes From’ is suggestive of the folk-rock scene of the late 1960s while viewing loss and the art of songwriting from more than one perspective.
 
 ‘The Voyage’ released 23rd April 2021
 
‘The Voyage’ was the second single from Al Shalliker’s 2021 debut solo album, ‘Silver Linings’. An infectious alt-folk song with an evocative, modern narrative, ‘The Voyage’ relates to some of the difficulties we encounter as we journey through life.
