To an artist without the creative energy and laser-focused determination of Elles Bailey, it could all have been very different. But when you're the hardest-working woman in blues, rock and roots music, not even the tumultuous world events of the past two years were going to stop you from writing several new chapters in a remarkable story.

David Gray’s debut album, 'A Century Ends', was released in 1993, followed by 'Flesh' in 1994. After touring with the likes of Radiohead and the Dave Matthews Band in support of his third album 'Sell, Sell, Sell', David decided to self-finance his fourth album, 'White Ladder', and release it on his own label, IHT Records, in 1998. As David’s recording success grew, so did his reputation as a live performer as he toured all around the world playing such iconic venues as London’s Earls Court and Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and the Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl. In 2016, David released 'The Best of David Gray' and 'Gold In A Brass Age' in 2019.

Fiercely honest, Jackies lyricism portrays an intense duality and a vulnerability that is instantly relatable. Turning inwards to explore notions of motherhood, imposter syndrome and getting older, while simultaneously outwards through commentary on the cost of living, polluted water, the constant sell on social media and the off menu Starbucks coffee obsession. With the band citing the recent influences of Blue Weekend and Skinty Fia alongside the likes of Can and the soundtracks of Ennio Moriconne, mastering engineer Christian Wright (Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C., Pigs x7) proves the perfect fit with Chris McManus (Blank Studios) heading up recording & production. Sonically, Pit Pony remain loyal to their roots, noting the influence of regional titans Nadine Shah and The Futureheads and with the ENGLISH ACCENT god damn it reminder on PJ Harveys Uh Huh Her in mind, Jackie Purver stays true to her accent. Dead Stars sees Pit Pony deliver an expanded but yet more balanced and personal conception of their craft. Garth Purver explains that the band were aiming for a more rounded and complete record that showcased multiple sides to us but hung together as one piece of work rather than a collection of separate tracks. While Andrew Jones mentions how the band encouraged each other to pull on those strands and incorporate more of our personal taste in the sound.

Growing up in the countryside of Lancashire, England, singer-songwriter Oates was exposed to music at a very early age. His dad frequently took him to concerts across the country, sculpting his extensive taste. Aged 11, Jonny began writing original music and by 13 he was gigging in local pubs and venues. Spending a couple of years trying to find his sound (influenced by Springsteen, Rush, Counting Crows, Keith Urban, Marillion, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Gang of Youths and many more), Jonny released his first demo EP Notes in 2017. Following this release, The Jonny Oates Band was born. The JOB has grown into an eclectic, raucous, infectious group of real-talking musicians, playing some British summertime tunes. Jonny Oates, Jordan Bates and friends continue to push the boundaries of genre, experiment with sound and rhythm and have a jolly good time along the way.

It all started on the streets. With Glass Caves beginning life by busking in their favourite cities, their name rapidly spread across the country, and the band were beginning to turn heads as one of the best live acts around. The Pontefract four-piece soon enjoyed a shift from stopping shoppers in their tracks, to snagging major festival slots and selling-out sought-after venues nationwide. A headline Club NME show at London's KOKO, The Great Escape, Dot to Dot, Isle of Wight Festival and Reading & Leeds appearances are just a handful of places Glass Caves have stopped-off on their journey so far. Those foundations built from tirelessly busking recently grabbed the attention of BBC Radio 1. Glass Caves' DIY approach was the subject of a Newsbeat mini-documentary, which brought the story of their unstoppable rise to a mainstream radio audience. Aside from their rock-solid live reputation, Glass Caves were rewarded with impressive success for their self-funded debut Alive. In a world of dwindling record sales and chart discourse, the album made Record Store Day's Top 40 at the time of release.
