FIONA SALLY MILLER
is a London based musician, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Having grown up in the South East of England she spent a number of years trotting around the British Isles developing her craft, but all the while keeping her songs to herself. A fateful move back to the South is where she has brought her songs out of the bedroom and on to the stage. Fiona has become an accomplished found sound recordist and explores the capture and recycling of sound within her environment; sounds sourced for their evocative associations that descend the listener within the woven textures of her compelling vocals and intricately layered compositions. Layers of instrumentation descend over these textured discoveries embellishing the stories recounted within the haunting lyrics.

LONG DEAD KINGS
Occupying a large 19th century church in Crouch End, North London, the band comprises three multi-instrumentalist (they swap around sometimes) songwriters, a campaigning rhythm section and no one single questionably principled front man.
As you read this from the comfort of your home or office or school or prison cell, the band is most likely out there somewhere like Kilburn, slogging away, entertaining the whiskey-sodden masses with music and songs and words.
The band released their first full album in 2011, and previously worked with producers at London based artist development outfit The Animal Farm.

Ben Williams
“Ben Williams is as truly talented singer songwriter. His performances are compelling, emotive and energetic. Definitely one to watch! It was a pleasure to have him on my programme.”
TAMMY, BBC WM
“Ben Williams is a fantastic live act, at such a young age this guy is incredibly assured and mature for his years, both in his songwriting and performance”
FOLKLORE
‘Ben Williams is definitely one to watch out for this year. Bursting onto the London scene with beautiful acoustic tunes that make you stop and pay attention, he never fails to deliver a quality performance. Such a great artist to work with, he is undoubtably the best singer/songwriter to come out of Birmingham in years’
BETH MEADS, FOLK ME HARD
“Ben Williams is too stuperfyingly awe-inspiringly redonculous to be described using human words, his song writing makes a mockery of print media as journalists flounder and are forced to invent new superlatives to attempt to describe his emotive soundscapes that trigger impulses from deep within the primordial consciousness of the human race.”
DAVID TIMOTHY, FREE LOVE FESTIVAL
