Liverpool Acoustic presents Skylon plus support @ LEAF 27/11/21

Skylon – a musical collaboration between Dorothy Bird, paulfcook, Luke Moore

Skylon is the answer to the question ‘would three musicians that enjoy working together ever accidentally form a band’? The project began when paulfcook (guitar, backing vocals) invited Luke and Dorothy to collaborate on a piece he had written the music for. Not long after, the trio had written and recorded their debut EP, each working remotely from home studios in Berlin, London and Liverpool. Skylon debuted their live set in August in London and are now looking forward to launching their new EP. Skylon have had airplay on BBC Introducing, Exile FM and Mersey Radio.

Katie Nicholas
Award winning singer-songwriter Katie Nicholas quickly gained recognition for her self-produced music videos as well as captivating audiences on the live stage with her intricate lyrics and skilful guitar cross-picking. In 2015 Katie released her first album “Dizzy”. The independent campaign generated such a buzz that her personalised pre-order gifts sold out on first batch! More recently, Katie visited Abbey Road Studios and Blackbird Studio in Nashville TN to begin recording her second album. Upon returning Katie decided it was time to try her hand at self-producing, using the studio stems in a way where she could achieve the sound she sought after. With a recent feature on the SSL 2 advert, and an artist endorsement with Aston Microphones and Auden Guitars, there is plenty of interest buzzing around her musical projects and online content.
