Featured Artists
Cat Elliott
SINGER-SONGWRITER
Cat Elliott is a bit of a genre defying wild card! Blending acoustic indie pop with alternative folk, her style is hard to pin down. She is a quirky performer with an unusual voice who swings from powerful and energetic one moment to vulnerable and reflective the next.
With a unique style of writing and playing, she’ll make you smile one minute with her witty observations on people & life, then move you with an emotional song about misplaced loyalty or an uplifting anthem about friendship.
Whatever the mood, her catchy and lyrical songs tell stories in a way you’re likely to remember.
Tariq B
SINGER-SONGWRITER
Tariq B’s musical journey began at the crossroads of cultures and continents. Born in Oxford, UK, in the ninities, he later spent a decade in Pakistan. It was during this time that he picked up the guitar aged 15 and discovered a passion that would from then on guide his life.
His return to the UK in 2009 marked the start of a deep dive into the music scene, studying in Birmingham and Plymouth while performing locally and hosting musical events to foster community and creativity.
During his studies, Tariq explored solo repertoire and joined various musical projects, leading to the development of his current sound. His blend of acoustic and rock influences, along with his singer-songwriter style and raw vocals, has helped him connect with audiences across the UK, from Manchester to London. Think Eddie Vedder and Matchbox Twenty’s lead singer, Rob Thomas.
Tariq’s career includes radio play on Polish national radio, UK-regional stations, and multiple features on BBC Introducing. His festival performances further highlight his ability to connect with diverse audiences.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Tariq leverages his expertise as a music industry lawyer with one of the Big Three major labels. This dual career provides him with a unique perspective on the fast-paced world of music, enriching his artistic and professional life.

Tom Manning
POET
Tom is a self-described ‘poet for non-poetry fans’. Using direct, colloquial, and rhythmic lyrics, Tom pours his heart onto the page to cover topics such as mental health, hedonism, love, self-care, relationships, and addiction.
The uniqueness of his relatable lyrics comes from a willingness to be vulnerable about his own emotions and experiences.
Despite largely writing about his personal battles, fun and humour shine through his poetry and performances – because if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
