•• THE PROSAICS ••
The Prosaics is the pseudonym of singer & multi-instrumentalist A.G. Williams. A gritty, disgruntled, English-folk artist, tired of the singer-songwriter's traditional formula; A.G. uses his passion for antique, quirky synthesisers as the musical accompaniment for his darkly humorous storytelling. He croons over iconic 808 drum machine grooves and vintage analogue circuitry, making his live performance visually as well as audibly engaging and unique.
The Prosaics has headlined and performed at various festivals and venues across the UK, alongside esteemed acts such as The Magic Gang, The Amazons, Mystery Jets etc. His following in the South-West local scene is constantly growing and he is thought of as an artist with a bright future ahead.
The Prosaics' songs are far from prosaic. In fact, he's hardly prosaic at all...

•• KIARA WHITE ••
Appreciated for her genuine and high quality songwriting, Kiara White uses her passion for culture, art, science, history, film scores, philosophy and the great songwriters to create rounded authentic songs with depth and meaning behind each lyric and melody.
Armed with just a keyboard and her voice she creates a world where you can be vulnerable with her, forget about everything and just be present.
“Her songs will make you come a little closer and listen a little deeper”.
Kiara’s sound doesn’t fall into just one genre, instead she’s influenced by folk, jazz, classical, indie, pop and alternative. And has been compared to artists like Kate Bush, Joni Mitchel and Joanna Newsom.
