Taliesen Hunter
First inspired at age twelve in Nepal - under the guidance of a, unbeknownst to him, fugitive - Taliesin was introduced to the guitar through the music of Sting, Dire Straits, and Bob Marley. Later influences such as Bill Withers and John Martyn further contributed to his sound.
Now a Trinity Laban Conservatoire graduate, Taliesin blends fingerpicked melodies, soulful lyrics, and adventurous harmony - where folk meets soul and character shines. Labelled "acoustic funk”.
Martha Khan
Martha Khan combines her classical and trad folk training with her love for 60s & 70s folk revival in the pursuit of revealing little truths in the day-to-day. Inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, and Adrianne Lenker, Martha is rediscovering what it means to her to be a songwriter, and is aiming to release new music soon.
