Sancho Panza
Sancho Panza a 5 piece low-fi indie-rock band from Nottingham. Emulating sounds from the early 90s Manchester scene and progressive 60s bands such as The Doors and Syd’s Pink Floyd they are the most exciting group to come from the city of Robin Hood in the past decade. With growing audiences each gig, they recently headlined Saturday night at the vastly attended annual Riverside Festival in their hometown on the Indie stage. Now with two singles released under their belt, available to stream on Spotify, and an EP in the works, 2019 has been a consistent and confident start for the guys. Their first single ‘Rearrange the Diamonds’ had radio play along with high-praise from local legend BBC Radio Introducing... Dean Jackson. Looking to tour their latest work beyond the Midland’s keep an eye out for gigs around the country in 2020.

Phosphenes
Phosphenes are a four-piece indie band conceived in Nottingham. Formerly Youth Hotel, the band decided to change from their name and initial line-up in early 2019, taking on rhythm guitarist Ben Thompson as their vocalist. Drawing heavy influence from Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith and Django Reinhardt among other classics, as well as modern stalwarts Turnover, Hyukoh, Puma Blue and many more.
“Phosphenes tread the line between indie rock and epic pop extremely delicately. Wall of sound riffs and heart-wrenching vocals, they’re a band moving fast very much here for a reason. See them now and expect big things!” - Will Robinson - I’m Not From London
Jimi Mack
Experimental folk songwriter Jimi Mack creates music that ‘sounds like Ernest Hemingway & Joni Mitchell’s lovechild’. Hypnotic, baroque fingerpicking and all-consuming baritone vocals warm the bones with tales of darkness, hope & a ferocious lust for life.
Tapping into Celtic traditions and British folk, intertwined with a love of psychedelia, jazz and world music, his music seems to exceed his youth and stretches back into a world of yesteryear lending his performances a timeless quality.
‘With comparisons to the likes of John Martyn and Tim Buckley, his left field take on jazz-inspired folk is a joy to behold’ – Drowned in Sound
‘Incredible…prolific.’ – BBC Introducing
