Catchy Electro Pop and Smooth Vocals from Masters Of The Radio

This Electro Pop/Synth Rock combo from Widnes was initially formed in 2008 and are currently with the Radio Hour Productions record label.

The band's founding member Paul Ventux didn't have a musical background but did have a fondness for the other creative arts and also creative writing - this secured Paul's place in the lineup as Lead Vocalist/Writer and Creative Director.

At the start of the year, three new members joined the group on a permanent basis and they are Mr Darklight on Keyboards/Synths, Taylor Manwo on Bass and Murphy The Destroyer on drums.

Following on from this fresh injection of new talent, they plan to release a new EP mid 2015 and this will feature the new song Radio Forever - which has already received airplay on BBC Introducing.

Radio Forever's intro is reminiscent of Erasure but then the song transitions into something unique thanks to its catchy and delightful synth beats, plus Paul serves up smooth vocals.

Cherry Tree showcases Yasmine's powerful vocals, emotive lyrics and infectious melodic beats



Yasmine Van Wilt is a North American Singer/Songwriter, who also writes and acts. She has completed a PHd in Creative Writing and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.


Yasmine is a musical chameleon, who records not only as Yasmine Van Wilt but also her musical alter-egos Elle "A" and Antoinette. In her own words her music can be described as a Folk-Rock-Pop Hybrid with a strong dash of Delta Blues.

Her alter-egos exist as a means of exploring her musical range and redefining the boundaries between performance personas and identity, this is why Elle "A" is a parody character who is outrageous and garish.

Elle "A" 's track Amazing reached 7 in the UK Music Week Charts and due to its visual success it is still featured in Asda.

Antoinette allowed Yasmine to tell the story of the suffering in the Gulf Of Mexico following the BP Disaster, she provided Yasmine with the opportunity to perform her one woman play Live and Unplugged all across Europe - the majority of music featured in the play will be released on Yasmine's debut studio album.

Cherry Tree showcases Yasmine's powerful vocals, emotive lyrics and infectious melodic beats. She truly entertains with this beautiful song so can't wait to see what musical delights will feature on her debut album.

The double act have been friends since primary school and together with Luke's passion for music the birth of Winter 1982 was inevitable.

It took them some time to find a sound they were comfortable with but once they did it wasn't long before they started gigging around Birmingham and they even got airplay on BBC Introducing.

Their most current release is Friend, which they recorded with Ryan Pinson - a Wolverhampton based producer.

They are looking at heading back into the studio with Ryan in February and plan to release an EP in Spring.

Friend is a laid-back melody with a smooth guitar arrangement, emotionally beautiful lyrics, catchy beats and outstanding vocals.

Smooth Vocals and Upbeat Melodies straight from South Wales

The South Road are a four piece band from Porthcawl in South Wales.

Their line up consists of:

Andrew Brace on Guitar and Vocals
Dean "Smythers" Smith on Guitar
Christian "Pip" Dobbin on Bass
Dangerous Dave Price on Drums

Musically they started as a cover band but after Dave joined their ranks as a drummer, after liking their sound he suggested they started writing their own material. This led to the release of a three track EP in July 2013, featuring guest keyboard player Dasher of Treehouse Fires fame.

The band then wrote more original material, whilst still performing covers during their gigs as they continue to develop their song writing skills. At the moment they are recording their next EP and are also on the lookout out for a keyboard player.

The South Road are musically inspired by Country Music Artists such as Tom Petty and Neil Young.

Not In My Nature features a catchy and upbeat instrumental melody, smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics.

Taken has more of a rock feel to it, this is in part down to the energetic guitar riffs.

Way To Walk has an anthemic quality to it as expressed by the depth of the lyrics and the instrumental arrangement is a real treat to the ears.

Beautiful Guitar Riffs from The Tall Poppies

One cold dark winter's day Susan and Catherine found themselves in London with just a Bass, Guitar and broken PC.

Having started writing lyrics from the age of nine they finally bit the bullet and decided to start performing. They took their music as far away from home as possible and found themselves in the heart of London's music scene with the odd jaunt to Scotland and France.

They earnt themselves a residency in Islington and after much deliberation the Tall Poppies was born, most of their music is original and each week they write a new song to keep their music fresh.

Susan briefly returned home to Australia whilst Catherine stayed in the UK, it was during this period where the twin sisters both wrote the same song at the same time - spooky eh?. It was also during this time their younger brother Alex honed his drumming skills so this led to the trio recording their first album - Thursday.

The second album - All The Rave was recorded both here and in Australia, following on from this they gained a violinist Diarmuid and Doug (formerly of Noah And The Whales fame) replaced Alex on drums.

2015 will see Tall Poppies not only tour but also release an EP, with the help of producer Paul 
Tipler.

Suzy features some beautiful guitar riffs, smooth vocals and beautiful lyrics - a real musical tonic for the winter blues.

Jazz Singer/Songwriter extraordinaire Maja Bloom dazzles us with smooth vocals


Maja Bloom is a multi talented individual, not only is she a singer/songwriter but she also acts and presents as well.

On the musical front she is a Jazz singer who had the honour of performing for Prince Harry and other dignitaries, however this is just the musical tip of the iceberg as Maja is also involved in a songwriting project.
