Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk mosh pit in 2016. The songs are raucous, upbeat, lyrical and driving. Traditional tunes are dragged kicking and screaming into the modern age, songs are crafted with big choruses that tell stories. Songs with straight-up lyrics, pounding bass lines, furious banjo and fiddle melodies and stomping beats, Man The Lifeboats have cultivated a sound that would not be out of place at a party at the end of the world.

Piskey Led are four young musicians who formed in Cardiff in late 2021; they showcase a highly entertaining and absorbing mixture of original and traditional music, influenced by the folk traditions of Cornwall, Northern England and Ireland. The personnel are Cornish woman Katie Lower on flute, whistles and piano, Lancastrian Josh Goodey on double bass, harmonium and mandocello and two Ulstermen, guitarist James Bower and Chris Mercer on mandolin, bouzouki, harmonicas and bodhrán.

In a career spanning two decades, Damien Nolan has worked as a session guitarist with artists such as Sting, Pete Townshend, Katie Melua, Cynthia Erivo, Skunk Anansie and Jacob Banks playing at venues such as Wembley Stadium, Royal Albert Hall, Radio 1 Live Lounge and Glastonbury Festival. He's also a solo artist playing finger style originals and covers, using his acoustic guitar as a drum kit and his loop pedals to deliver an enthralling live show.
