The Rezillos burst forth upon the rock scene in 1976, having gathered together at Edinburgh College of Art. Through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, The Rezillosfound themselves inadvertently caught up in the Punk or New Wave movement. Their debut single, I Can't Stand My Baby, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on John Peel's radio show. Their classic singles My Baby Does Good Sculptures, Top of the Pops and Destination Venus signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band. Their landmark album of 1978 Can't Stand the Rezillos reached the top 10 in the UK album chart. They appeared twice on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test and hit the Top Twenty with their hit single Top of the Pops, a satirical swipe at the UK pop music show of the same name. Once the band had achieved chart success it was inevitable that they should appear on the same show! They followed up that same year with a live recording, Mission Accomplished... But the Beat Goes On, and promptly broke up to the anguish of fans and music critics alike.

The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album "Too Bad Jim" by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. It all initially started as a casual collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians, Little Victor and Son Jack Jr. and they shortly after rounded out the trio with the one and only Nick Simonon (brother of Paul Simonon of The Clash) on drums and things really started cookin! Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.

Cam Cole is probably the heaviest one-man band in the world, fusing blues, folk, grunge, stoner rock and metal into an unforgettable live experience. His story so far is that of an incredible journey from the streets of London to stages all around the world. Starting out as a busker on every street corner that he could play on without getting arrested by the local council, Cam’s videos went viral on social media, earning him a loyal fanbase, millions of streams , a cameo in Emmy winning TV show “Ted Lasso” and subsequent tours and festival slots across the UK, Europe, Australia, USA, Canada, Mexico etc., selling out club shows in cities he had never been in before. Proving that he is more than just a social media phenomenon, Cam has started to conquer screens now too. Not many artists have an Amazon Prime documentary filmed about them, Cam joining those select few that have with the “American Mileage” documentary made about his first USA tour last year. Even TV stations in England have started paying attention, resulting in Cam performing on “Strictly Come Dancing” winner Chris McCausland’s show on ITV and Rightmove licensing his song “Mama” for their 2025 nationwide campaign, sending Cam’s music into millions of homes across the UK. Now with hundreds of gigs and 3 albums under his belt, Cam has made the difficult jump from street musician to international touring artist without losing the core of what made him unique in the first place. Still building on the wall of sound he conjures all by himself with just a guitar and his trusty Farmer Footdrums, his live show and sound have expanded over the last year, now incorporating more psychedelic and expansive sounds.
