Lauren Rycroft Lauren Emily Rycroft is a 21 year old singer/songwriter who plays her unique combination of achingly beautiful guitar and dark, honest lyrics throughout the UK.
2016 saw Lauren support artists on tour such as Newton Faulkner and Janet Devlin, perform at festivals like Dot to Dot, Live at Leeds & Tramlines, be invited on her own tour with Coffee House Sessions (following in the footsteps of the likes of Nina Nesbitt, The Shires & Luke Sital-Singh), and receive national BBC radio play and her own live BBC Introducing sessions in Leeds, Nottingham and Lincoln.
The end of 2016 saw Lauren embark upon her own headline UK tour with her backing band, supporting her self released 6 track debut EP titled “Tide of the Mind” - produced at the legendary 2fly studios (Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, The Long Blondes). The EP has been a resounding success with her songs being played on all 39 BBC stations across the UK and the EP being picked by BBC’s Melvyn Prior as his “Album of the week”, the first unsigned act to be chosen by him. www.musicglue.com/laurenrycroft
Altar Hanglands The musical work of Leeds based songwriter Harry Ridgway. Launched at the start of 2016 after a long break from playing music gave way to a prolific few months of writing, the sombre and reflective music of Altar Hanglands has taken Harry on a sold out German tour opening for the acclaimed Bear's Den as well as shows with the likes of Damien Jurado, Julien Baker, Kiran Leonard, C Duncan and to festivals such as Live at Leeds, Bluedot & Kendal Calling.
"His beautiful, dreamy reverb-filled vocals are rich and raspy, and his quivering vibrato gives the same chills that Band Of Horses’ Ben Bridewell does". - Clash
"The kind of artistry that impacts my soul more than any other” - Stereofox www.soundcloud.com/altar-hanglands
