JAKE MARTIN Jake Martin is an energetic and charismatic folk punk singer/songwriter from the UK. Jake intelligently blends the art of story telling; depicting tales of life, love, and the road, with dark satire, politics, and his own cheeky brand of cider fuelled humour. Add Jake's witty ability to captivate and animate any room of strangers, his memorable sing along anthems, and the occasional bit of furniture climbing, and the result is an electrifying “every show like it’s the last” performance.

Doozer McDooze
Doozer McDooze is a foot stomping acoustic punk singer songwriter from Essex, south of England. He prides himself on his ability and passion to play everywhere and anywhere; from venues to camp fires, backs of vans, queues, the street, coffee shops, pubs and house parties... the list is endless. He has toured all over Europe, in ten different Countries, and most recently the USA. Every year he plays tons of Festivals such as Glastonbury, Bearded Theory and Beautiful days. In 2015 he beat his own personal record playing 34 Festivals in 19 weeks. Which is how the single "I Don't Wanna Go Home" came to fruition. This single nearly got into the actual charts, but it was then knocked off the number one spot of the 'Movers & Shakers' chart on Amazon by The Rolling Stones. Earlier this year Doozer McDooze managed to reach number 1 in the Amazon Folk charts with his most recent single release called “I Think Politicians Should Be Put On MInimum Wage” In a download world of media solitude, Doozer likes to give music back to the people. Doozer writes honest, infectious lyrics, with an earworm value. He was also an Roadie/Tour Manager/Merch Bloke/Driver for Band, Grave Digger, Father Christmas, a Toilet Cleaner and former UK Air Guitar Champion. "The sound of a scrap between The Levellers & The Pogues being broken up by Billy Bragg" - Tom Robinson BBC 6Music
