Tom Brosseau

Adam Beattie
Adam Beattie spent much of his adult life in Glasgow, but recently relocated to London. A deep love for the blues, in all its forms, and an affection for folk’s modern margins are both evident in Beattie’s work.
Adam Beattie’s music has also been deservedly described as containing "distinctively rich vocals with carefully crafted lyrics and simple folk-rooted guitar melodies". - Brazen Magazine
Olivia Chaney
Classical taste with a modern ear; Olivia Chaney revives rambling boys and dark eyed sailors with her own, special touch. Expect to be moved and charmed by a virtuoso of unusual depth and passion, performing solo on Harmonium, guitar and a bold, young voice.
‘..more Kate Bush than Betty Carter..’ - Jack Massarick, Evening Standard
‘..young folk singer, Olivia Chaney, demonstrated..that F-ire’s magnetism for new talent extends in many directions.’ - John Fordham, Guardian
