Sept 23rd lineup

Foxpalmer

Foxpalmer is a London/Birmingham-based artist with a unique blend of rock, Americana-style folk and lush indie, their sound is striking, captivating, and distinct.

Their unique sound, stunning original music and compelling live shows have seen them perform a number of tours as well opening for chart topping acts such as Scottish Pop Artist Sandi Thom, The Undertones, indie rockers Dodgy, Bluetones frontman Mark Morris, Chantel McGregor and 4 jaunts around the UK with award winning Prog trio Blackheart Orchestra. They’ve additionally appeared at numerous festivals including How the Light Gets In (3 times), Celtic Connections in Glasgow (twice), Coventry’s Godiva Festival and Cambridge Rock Festival, Worcester Music Festival etc.

Foxpalmer is currently working on their long awaited debut album ‘Dark Tides’ which is set to be released early 2027. There was an impressive industry response for the first two singles ‘Wanted’ and ‘Forever’, the latter featured on the cover mounted CD of international music magazine Fireworks, as well as widespread and plentiful airplay.

Joseph Davis

“I’m Joseph Davis - and this is what I do.”

That’s how 17 year old Joseph introduced himself as he started his set at a gig recently, and since his first public performance 6 years ago, it’s a fair description.

Influenced by the singer songwriters of the 60s and 70s and modern artists like Sam Fender and Wunderhorse his acoustic guitar driven songs are catchy and thought provoking at the same time.

His songwriting has seen him with the Staffordshire Young Musician of the Year Songwriting Award twice and he’s been in the Top Ten of the prestigious Song Academy Young Songwriter of the Year competition on several occasions. Playing live whenever he can, his gigs are where he steps into his natural element.

From Cannock, in Staffordshire, Joseph is determined to make his mark in the same way as his heroes, writing songs that move people and backing them up with powerful and exciting live performances.

Harry Pentony

Harry Pentony is a pop-rock/indie singer-songwriter from Leicester, UK, blending emotional honesty with anthemic energy. After years performing as a guitarist and songwriter in bands, Harry stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist, creating heartfelt songs inspired by artists including Coldplay, Keane and Sam Fender.

Since returning to Leicester, Harry has earned two BBC Introducing East Midlands “Track of the Week” features in under 12 months, received international airplay, supported Tom Walker, and headlined a near sold-out hometown show with his band in 2026.

His music speaks for the underdog, for those who feel deeply but struggle to say it out loud.

Fiona Faye

Fiona Faye is a British singer-songwriter, born in Wrexham, North Wales, to Jamaican parents and raised in the West Midlands. Her distinctive sound blends roots reggae, lovers rock and jazz, enriched by a foundation of classical vocal training.

With a rich, expressive voice, heartfelt songwriting and an unmistakable style, she creates music that is both timeless and deeply authentic. Since joining Xodus – A Tribute to Bob Marley & The Wailers in 2018.

Fiona has built a reputation as a captivating live performer while establishing herself as an original recording artist.

Her commanding stage presence and genuine connection with audiences have seen her perform at respected venues and events across the UK.

In 2026, Fiona has continued to build momentum as both a solo artist and sought-after live vocalist. On 4 August, she supported internationally acclaimed reggae artist Jesse Royal at The Jam House, Birmingham, delivering a live set ahead of his performance.

We are absolutely delighted to have Fiona and her band as our featured artist to showcase her original music.
