A new collaboration between Murf Machine Music and Carrie Souza......a new Single Heaven out now followed by our new album.

Brooke Sharkey grew up in London before moving to France at the age of 9, which naturally draws her songwriting to be both in English and French. 
Her musical journey started in 2009 when she started to perform in the streets of Norfolk  followed by London, Paris, Bristol and beyond. 
Brooke has since released 3 EPs and 2 albums  of her own songs with the latest gaining her praise from The Guardian naming her one of the top 50 independent artists in the world doing it their own way. She has headlined venues such as The Jazz cafe, played at Cambridge folk festival and won (ex aequo) the “Concert of the year award” at The Union Chapel in 2017.
Her music has been compared to the likes of Kate Bush, Ane Brun and Lhasa de sela. Her unique, ethereal and distinctive vocals and lyrics explore the vast yet intricate themes of love, loss, hope, beauty, nature, seduction and wonder. 
Having relocated to Oslo, Norway, in 2020, she has been recording a collection of new songs entitled Under Stones. Her 2024 Autumn/winter shows will be presenting these new songs live prior to their release in 2025.

Andy was signed to Atlantic Records and had significant airplay on MTV and Radio 1 with his old band, No Hope In New Jersey. This culminated in a main-stage performance at the V Festival. When the band split, Andy was at a loss, but one day he received a parcel from his uncle: the biography of Jimi Hendrix. The days Hendrix spent as a sideman fascinated Andy, and inspired him to learn more about his craft as a musician. This was the start of eight years’ apprenticeship playing various styles of music in bands all over the world.

In 2015,  his apprenticeship over, he decided to stay, and work on his own material.

This resulted in 7 albums. Work Of Fiction and Dedicated to Nobody.

Work Of Fiction contains 9 songs which were featured on BBC Introducing and one song featured on a playstation advert. 

Dedicated To Nobody contains 4 BBC Introducing tracks of the week. The songs “Fall Apart”, “One Fine Day” and “Get Up” where picked by BBC Radio Leicester and subsequently featured on the Ben Jackson Morning Show. Each track getting a play everyday for a week.

The songs “Steal” and “Hey Into The Void” also made it onto the Fresh On The Net LP. Over 200 songs were submitted by other artists. “Steal” and “Hey Into The Void” made the top 25 on different weeks.

“Hey Into Void” subsequently featured on the Tom Robinson BBC 6 Introducing Mixtape where Tom himself picks his favourite tracks and it also became a Northampton BBC Introducing track of the week.

In addition to the above the songs “Approval Removal”, “1985” and “Standard Affair” also got played on the regular BBC Introducing show.

In April 2020  “I Don’t Know” became BBC Introducing track of the week. This version wasn’t included on “Dedicated to Nobody”, so we decided to create an EP with 3 more new songs to compliment it. These songs were recorded straight after the Work of Fiction sessions in 2018 and they found a home on the V Sides EP. 2020 has been a busy year for releases. August 1st 2020 saw the release of another EP called Silencer. It brings together 5 alt rock recordings focusing on the heavier side of things.

To date, songs from Andrew Van Garratt have been played on BBC Introducing 18 times, “Capital D” has been featured in the TV show Doctors, and “Invaders” from his previous band No Hope In New Jersey has been featured in Top Gear, and Blue Peter. Recently his new songs have featured on an advert for Nissan and a trailer for PlayStation.
