Line-up
New Skin. It’s not just a title. It’s a state of mind, an accurate summation of the position in which Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter Scott Matthews finds himself with the release of his seventh studio album. The man who specialises in conveying the emotional complexities of love and loss in sparse, warmhearted acoustic songs has shed another skin. Reborn in a new guise, circumstances have forced fundamental reinvention.
“I am thrilled to tell you that my friend @JacksonBrowne has exclusively filmed two superb songs for our online festival” - Whispering Bob Harris

Ward Thomas - Having fulfilled their three album deal with Sony by the age of 25 and become the UK’s first country act to reach No.1, the pair had nothing to prove, except to themselves. Invitation will be distributed by eastwest , their future major label home, but it was written and recorded entirely independently, with every decision taken by the duo.
2020 started with a bang for the super-smoky-voiced, hard-working, far-touring chanteuse Elles Bailey when “Little Piece of Heaven” written with storied Memphis and Nashville giant Bobby Wood, & Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) picked up ‘UK Song of the Year’ at the UK Americana Awards.
