Hudson Taylor
Really exciting band that i have come across through the BOTF line up! Plenty of videos on youtube with lots of originals and an EP soon to drop im sure! Perfect for the Ipod particularly those interested in more folky music!
Tribes
Stumbled across these guys on youtube and then next thing i know i saw them within 2 weeks down in Portsmouth, Last minute decision but well worth going too! Such a good vibe from this band and the albums just awesome!
Bears Den
Recently discovered ‘Bears Den’ on the Barn On The Farm Festival list, Not much around on the internet as it seems he has gone through a change of bands! Looking forward to hearing more as soon as though! Just give it a listen!

Bastille - Overjoyed
Just heard this on Radio 1 for its first play!Instantly Hooked :)
Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Lovely acoustic artist which i heard around last summer and pretty sure my brother introduced me to him! The album is a must have for anyone into this kind of music. Really would like to see him perform this year as he is not one to miss!
Brother and Bones
Fantastic Band that i have recently come across, after seeing Ben Howard mention them for his support around Europe! Soon as i heard this i have found myself liking them more and more! Definitely a band to watch and hopefully i will be able to see them this year! Look too good to miss!
James Vincent McMorrow
Beautiful irish singer/songwriter which i discovered through Itunes single of the week and instantly bought the album and its not very often i do that! You may recognise his cover of ‘Higher Love’ from the Lovefilm adverts. I was also fortunate enough to see him perform at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth and it was just amazing. Another must have for anyone who loves folk music!

Matt Corby - Brother
Recently saw someone post this on Facebook and literally i was just like Wow. Don’t know much about this guy just yet, however, he was on Australian Idol back in 2007 and did not win but i reckon it was the best thing for him not too! Can’t wait to see what else he has done musically!
Unicorn Kid
I first heard Unicorn Kid on Radio 1 from Huw Stephens. This was the track that i heard and the sound is incredible! An Electronic/Rave Style based EP known as ‘Tidal Rave’ was released last August and is a must listen to, really gets you moving! Definitely interested to see what path he takes with his music!
Ed Sheeran
If you haven’t heard Ed Sheeran by now then i would be impressed to how you haven’t! First heard Ed when his ‘You Need Me, I Don’t Need You’ video by SB.TV was starting to go viral. Such a talented musician and his impact on the music industry is huge! Great fun to see live as well. After last years success with the ‘+’ album i am thoroughly looking forward to hearing his upcoming EP titled ‘The Slumdon Bridge EP’ which i believe is featuring Yelawolf.
