Lineup
Muireann Bradley
Muireann Bradley is a once-in-a-generation talent; aged just eighteen, the Irish guitarist and singer has captivated audiences worldwide with her interpretations of classic blues songs. Raised in County Donegal, she began playing guitar aged nine, inspired by her blues-loving father. Despite detours into competitive Jiu-Jitsu, music remained her true calling. Muireann's debut album I Kept These Old Blues, recorded between lockdowns during Covid when she was able to get into a studio - starting from when she was still just 14 years old, has become a coveted collector’s item, with the first pressing of the record selling out everywhere. Featuring masterful covers of Blind Blake, Rev Gary Davis, and Mississippi John Hurt, the album reveals a rare depth of understanding and musicality. Equally drawn to the stories behind the songs, Bradley channels the spirit of blues pioneers; her reverence for artists like Elizabeth Cotten and Memphis Minnie informs both her playing and her storytelling, earning her recognition from industry legends—including Jools Holland who invited her to perform on the Hootenanny. A natural performer with astonishing skill, Muireann Bradley is not just reviving the blues — she’s helping to shape its future.
Blossom Caldarone
A classically trained musician, Blossom has collaborated with The Big Moon, Black Midi, English Teacher, Maya Delilah and Prima Queen, while continuing to carve out a world entirely her own. Her music has been championed across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing , Amazing Radio, Foundation.fm, Absolute Radio (Frank Skinner), and Hoxton Radio, alongside features in Clash, i-D and Dork. Citing influences that span Rufus Wainwright, Lily Allen, Regina Spektor and Karen Carpenter, Blossom’s songwriting sits somewhere between the theatrical and the confessional — a place where humour, heartbreak and honesty coexist, all filtered through her diaristic lens.
Lily Rae Grant
Lily Rae Grant is an 18 year old singer songwriter who blends soulful folk and country with dreamy, atmospheric indie, moving easily between delicate acoustic moments and richer, cinematic textures. Influenced by artists from Bonnie Raitt to Zero 7, her music is melodic, expressive, and quietly immersive. Raised in a deeply musical household and now based between Manchester and Todmorden, she carries the creative character of both places into her writing. Genre-fluid and intuitive, Lily draws from a wide palette of styles to create songs that feel honest, spacious, and emotionally vivid - a young artist steadily shaping a sound that is unmistakably hers.
FREEQUENCY3

Her debut EP and accompanying short film, 517 DAYS, positions FREEQUENCY3 as an artist rooted in authenticity and emotional depth, connecting with audiences through narratives of resilience, adaptation, and self-reflection—marking her as a compelling emerging voice with international potential."
