Nadedja

Collecting stories from a life led across Brazil, North America and the UK, Nadedja’s song writing is soulful, truly inspiring and utterly unique. Her dreamy sound emerges from beautiful alt-pop soundscapes, mellow keys, intoxicating electronics and breath-taking vocals. It’s the perfect framework to highlight her inspiring storytelling; the kind of reflective, open and heartfelt lyricism you’d expect from such a unique life story. Described as “classy, dynamic and impressive”, Nadedja’s music has always had the power to mesmerise and captivate audiences – an uncanny, intrinsic talent first visible as a 12-year-old songwriter.

Since the release of her latest singles in 2021, Nadedja has been awarded the esteemed Help Musicians ‘Do It Differently Fund’ and Sage Gateshead’s coveted ‘Summer Studios’ residency. She’s gained national radio airplay on BBC Radio 6, has been shortlisted as a Fresh Fave on Tom Robinson’s ‘Fresh on the Net’ blog and has been chosen as one of Spotlight UK’s ‘Upstarts of 2021’. Nadedja has been championed by BBC Introducing, appearing on BBC North East’s monthly playlist and BBC Sounds podcast, ‘The Next Episode’. She’s also been supported by Amazing Radio, as well as making waves across the world, performing live on Brazilian TV and gaining followers and thousands of streams from 78 different countries.

MG Boulter

Serving his apprenticeship in numerous bands in the hotbed of the Southend-on-Sea pub rock scene, M G has been quietly working at creating rich and evocative story songs since 2013. Garnering praise from reviewers like Uncut describing his work as “gorgeous in a word” and R2 listing him as “a weapons grade songwriter”, M G creates vignettes of suburban lives and seaside communities and is a contemporary voice in the long tradition of the singer-songwriter.

Often referred to as the artist’s artist M G has been a much sought after collaborator in the folk and Americana scenes, having significant tenures in the Simone Felice Group, The Duke and the King, Emily Portman’s Coracle Band, Blue Rose Code and The Owl Service.

Having previously released two albums and numerous EPs, Clifftown is M G’s most recent and complete work to date creating an immersive world rich with ordinary lives glimpsed through fairground grease and mindless 9 to 5 jobs. As much social commentary as an honest picture postcard of his hometown, Clifftown is an exquisite and life-affirming exploration of modern suburbia and the British seaside by one of the UK’s finest song writing talents.
