Sound of the Sirens are Devon based acoustic singer-songwriting duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood. Honing their craft over the past decade the pair wear their hearts very much on their sleeves in terms of their songwriting, gliding gracefully through laments of past relationships, and life experiences, as well as highlighting important topics of the day such as mental health awareness and homelessness.
Without being pigeonholed into any particular genre, the instrumentation of the band is vast, and varied. Abbe plays acoustic and high-strung guitar, mandolin, and bass drum, while Hannah plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum and piano.

Paul will be singing Jake's songs and talking about his colourful life. He is so passionate about Jake's music that he even bought one of his guitars, which he will be using at the show! Paul has performed Jake's songs at venues and festivals across the country and appeared on Radio 4 and BBC6 Music.

'Beware of the Bull – The Enigmatic Genius of Jake Thackray', co-written by Paul with John Watterson, was included in the Daily Telegraph's pick of the best music books of 2022. It tells the fascinating story of a complex, charismatic, self-effacing man whom many loved, but few understood. ‘A terrific and illuminating portrait'. (Neil Gaiman) ‘It is, quite simply, one of the best biographies I have ever read.' (Tykes Stirrings)

Fresh from supporting Jack Whitehall on his 2023 UK arena tour, comedian Lloyd Griffith is back with a brand new show ‘Baroque and Roll'. It's a big year for Lloyd, he's turning 40 and with it, the impending midlife crisis - or ‘renaissance' as he's insisting it's called; complete with body hair removal, head hair additions, teeth whitening and obviously the obligatory half marathon sign up. It'll be funny and yes, there'll be the odd song or two from that magnificent voice of his.

As seen on Ted Lasso (Apple), Nolly (ITV), Soccer AM (RIP), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Can You Beat the Bookies (BBC), Live at The Comedy Store (Comedy Central), House of Games (BBC).
