Sam Brothers 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09beIxopcRM

Described by Acoustic Magazine as “Always Compelling...”, Sam Brothers is a young Margate, UK based folk singer-songwriter whose performances bring to mind the Soho and Greenwich Village Folk Scenes of the 1960's. His bluesy guitar, stompbox and harmonica filled performances are deeply rooted in the music of greats such as Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry &amp; Brownie Mcghee, Bert Jansch, Bob Dylan and Fairport Convention.

A genuine travelling troubadour from a very young age, Sam was busking in Brighton when he was discovered by producer Mark st. John (Bob Marley, Flora Purim, Eddy Grant) in 2017. This led to the production and release Sam's Debut album “Farewell To My Old Days”, (Recorded the old fashioned way - live onto tape), which received significant attention from National and local radio, as well as the Music press. Distributed by Proper Records and
appearing in Record stores across the UK, the first pressing sold out within a year.

Following the success of the album, Sam went on to perform all across Europe and the UK proving support for acts as diverse as Nick Lowe, Rab Noakes, Chris Difford, Sarah Jarosz, Spiers and Boden, Hank Wangford, and The Christians, sweating his craft at funky, authentic venues such as like the Eel Pie Club, The Gulbenkian Theatre and London's Iconic Troubadour, as well as playing festival stages at The Isle of Wight Festival, Lunar, Sandwich Folk &amp; Ale, Blissfields and Smallworld.

Sam went on to take up the unmissable opportunity in 2019 to be part of creating a stripped back acoustic album “Bare as Bone. Bright As Blood” with cult rock group 'The Pretty Things' , alongside founding members Dick Taylor and Phil May. Plans were underway for a world tour of the album, until they were stopped in their tracks by the double bombshell of the Covid Pandemic
and the sad passing of Phil May in May, 2020.

Sam released a new EP entitled "The Folksinger" in 2024 and has been busy performing all over The UK, Europe and Japan since then.

The Ashen Keys 

https://youtu.be/pkYqVRvfINs?si=qcbJrdINp7aJGBBU

One night in March 2023, three musicians took a break from playing an array of instruments (accordion, violin, guitar, clarinet, French horn, oboe and ukulele) and passed scraps of paper around the audience of an intimate gig in Rochester.


On their return, most of these scraps bore the same three words: ‘The Ashen Keys’. The public had spoken. After four months as a band, Hannah Ellerby, Rachel Lowrie and Vicky Price now had their name.

In the time since that defining moment in The Man of Kent, The Ashen Keys have performed their unique blend of vocal harmonies and instrumentation at a series of prestigious festivals. They have played Black Deer, Rochester Sweeps Festival and Broadstairs Folk Week. They also won appearances at the Purbeck Valley Folk Festival and Shrewsbury Folk Festival.

The Ashen Keys combine their love of folk, pop, blues, classical and early music to explore themes ranging from the ancient and mythic through to the complexities of modern relationships – all the while rooting themselves in a love of nature and humanity. When they are not writing, playing and performing, you might very well see them wandering around the Kentish woodlands, seeking out orchids and mother trees.

The band’s debut album, The Name on Your Compass was released in September 2024.
