Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs celebrate their upcoming 5th album, 'Hullabaloo' (released on Gare du Nord Records), at TFR. Early '70s tinged baroque chamber pop, with black sheep philosophers, time travelling hairdressers, sixth form poetry, '70s pornography, Swiss Army knives, David Essex kisses, faked Moon landings, new best friends, long dead friends and more. Shades of Kevin Ayers and Lou Reed, a push of Go Kart Mozart, a whisper of Marc, a squeeze of Super Furry Animals, with a soupcon of Neil Hannon, leading the protest march. 'A brightly lit soundworld, capricious magic and some subtly warped reality.' - MOJO
Golden Samphire Band are an acoustic / song-based trio featuring singer Hannah Lewis and brothers Mik and Rich Hanscomb (of Junkboy), influenced by maritime suburbia, coastal mysticism and the Sussex landscape. Expect psychogeographically-informed psych-folk Pocket Symphonies. Their widely critically acclaimed debut album, 'Dream is the Driver', was recently released on Wayside & Woodland Recordings. 'Straight out of a wormhole from 1971...a melodic delight' - Electronic Sound
David Coomber takes time off from being a multiple south coast band mainstay in a rare solo appearance with his unaffected, reflective, gently grooving songs. Delicate touches of John Martyn, Paul Simon, James Taylor and all things Laurel Canyon in softly delivered, open hearted, melodic folk/blues/soul-tinged pop.

Ornate seventies-leaning baroque chamber pop that mojo has praised for its capricious magic. The fifth album, 'hullabaloo', lands on gare du nord records in august 2026, recorded at church road studios in hove. Expect wry, literate songs dressed in pedal steel, piano and woodwind rather than guitars.

A sussex acoustic trio whose debut album 'dream is the driver' came out on wayside & woodland recordings in april 2026, mastered at church road studios in hove. The songs are pastoral, gently psychedelic folk pop built around close harmony singing, with strings and pedal steel around the edges. The subject matter is the downs, the harbour and the starlings over brighton pier, a mood they call coastal mysticism and maritime suburbia.
“coastal mysticism / maritime suburbia / sussex”

A south coast singer-songwriter who is a mainstay of several bands and steps out solo only rarely. The songs are unaffected and reflective, gently grooving and open hearted. The sound sits between folk, blues and soul-tinged melodic pop.
