ARTIST INFORMATION

TREETOP
TreeTopMusic.co.uk

Treetop is the solo project of Craig Lamb, a singer songwriter from Liverpool. Treetop began in the summer of 2013 and took off in a big way with numerous support slots, a live session for BBC introducing and an extremely well received performance at the Liverpool Music Awards. Since then, Craig has continued to gig around the northwest and record in a variety of locations around Liverpool. The first song to be released from these recording sessions is “I Just Need You” – a sparse stripped back song combining electric guitar and vocals, recently released for free from TreeTopOfficial.bandcamp.com

With many other releases planned for the coming months along with numerous high profile gigs, 2014 looks to be a good year for Treetop.

THROWING PANDAS
reverbnation.com/throwingpandas

An eclectic mix of sounds, heavily acoustic, with a great slab of ukelele sparkle, from funky to folky with influence from Dylan to Arcade Fire; from Marley to Midlake; sweet songs and revolutionary tales of a war with humans and pandas! A new sound has arrived – freshened folk alternative with a psychedelic twist!

CARL FOULKES JONES
soundcloud.com/carl-foulkes-jones

Sounding loosely like a street quartet of musicians Carl plays four instruments at once: a bass pedal (made up of old piano hammers and bass guitar strings) with his right foot, a snare drum with his left foot, a hung harmonica and acoustic guitar.

Armed with this he goes about troubadour alike exploring the rootsy end of the pop spectrum and playing in a long line of tradition with songs passed down from country blues to folk.
Recording has been done live at the minute and Jones is in the process of recording his first album to be called Monkey Chunk.

MILLIE COURTNEY

Since then she has been awarded an Artist Development Deal by Bold Management with Martin O’Shea as her manager.Millie recently played the Young Musicians Showcase at The Brink and is looking forward to announcing more exciting gigs for later this year.
