It fits into mainstream moulds, yet also satisfies a deeper creative taste.

Daisy Chute

Daisy Chute is an American-Scottish folk singer and songwriter. A banjo-wielding multi-instrumentalist, her musical roots are born out of her transatlantic heritage and she writes award-winning intelligent songs with stories, performing them with spine-tingling vocals & intricate instrumentation.

Joe Smith

Joe Smith has been on quite the musical journey having started singing in Eisteddfods (Welsh competitions) at the age of eight and being trained by an opera singer living on a farm in West Wales.

He went on to sing in church choirs and eventually trained in musical theatre, spending years performing professionally in the west end, on tour and ships around the world.

In 2010 Joe walked away from show business to follow his own path of much needed healing, solace, songwriting and ultimately redemption. Though this meant being on the fringe of things and less security it was the only path needed to find answers to questions inside.

Joe's songs are crafted from that path, of listening to one’s own soul, of freedom, of pain and of the magic surrounding us.

Dawn Walker, and PIJN.
