MELDA LOIS: Welsh-language singer-songwriter based in Cardiff, with a rural upbringing in Snowdonia which is foundational to her writing. Imagery of nature, the mountains and the sea weave through her songs, with a warm yet melancholic sound, collecting her musings on the little details of life. Melda Lois Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, SoundCloud

FRANKIE WESSON started writing & performing at age 16 in hometown Abergavenny. Cinematic songs drawing from personal experiences of bitter-sweet nostalgia, unrequited love, teenage angst and the complicated reality of growing up LGBT+. Raised on artists like Alanis Morrisette, Eva Cassidy and Stevie Nicks, Frankie also takes inspiration from recent acts like Deaf Havana, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Gabrielle Aplin. Intimate, emotionally raw yet laid-back music with a pop/folk/rock feel - a versatile vocal range and talent for emotive, relatable songwriting making for captivating live performances.
