HEADLINES

Clare Summerskill & Declan Bennett

Clare Summerskill - The Stand-up
As a Lesbian Comedienne, Clare performs an original cocktail of stand-up and comedy songs to mainly Gay and Lesbian audiences up and down the country and has even been known to make straight people chuckle just a little bit!!! She brings "Dyke" humour to the forefront of alternative comedy!

Declan Bennett (aka sumladfromcov) is a 25-year-old, hard-hitting, dynamic acoustic singer-songwriter whose unashamed and honest tales of love and sexuality and emotionally charged lyrics have won him a diverse and devoted fan base around the UK and beyond... No stranger to fame (with mainstream chart success by the age of 20 as part of a pop/rock outfit, and a lead role in an award-winning West End show), Declan is now taking his own, personal, at times dark and intimate songs to all corners of the country.

Declan Bennett is a dynamic acoustic English singer-songwriter with a hard-hitting, witty and poetic way with words, unique take on life and unashamed and honest tales of live love and sexuality...

AND

Sophia Blackwell - SLAM Poet
Sophia Blackwell is a performance poet whose mission in life is to make poetry vital and relevant. A slam champion, cabaret tart and domestic diva, she's worked with some of the biggest names in spoken word and performed at Wychwood, Glastonbury and the Big Chill as well as venues like the Roundhouse, South Bank Centre and Soho Theatre.

Sykes - Rapper
Right about now, it is safe to say that you can count the number of female rappers from the U.K. on one hand. The number of thoughtful and talented rappers is even fewer than that.

Sykes is set to change these statistics!

You could say she is a ‘thoughtful rebel!’ Rapping and rhyming since the age of 10 and clearly having no intention of slowing down. Once in her teens, Sykes truly began to take her art-form seriously and now it seems she is headed for her prime. A rapper, songwriter, entertainer, this female has no intention of being pigeon-holed.
Influences include Sugar Hill Gang and Salt n Pepa, so it’s no wonder Sykes can spit the way she does. After hearing Rappers Delight (Sugar Hill Gang) and Push it (Salt n Pepa) the stage was set!

Shangai - Singer
Shanghai has been established for just over a year. Shanghai encompasses all the key elements that create a successful artist; song writing; vocals; choreography; styling and a ferocious hunger for success. Combined these factors define the brand ‘Shanghai’ - Edgy, Electronica, Rock with a modern feel, that in harmony with the current market as well as extending the current boundary and sound.

Shanghai has strong and definitive values, an unerring sense of commitment and the capability for adaptation to achieve her dreams. Maintaining strength, focus and vision to overcome all hurdles and to ensure success.
