BeltBelt
Belt are a five piece who make beautiful, undefinable music that swims between an opiated Tom Waits and Portishead after eight sleepless nights. They’re outlaws from the finest Nottingham tradition who eschew boundaries. The musicianship is superlative, intelligent, and strikes the listener in the gut with a directness more associated with punk rock than a group of kind hearted lunatics as dedicated to musical exploration as a Charlie Parker solo. Their songs are life’s realities made danceable. Now working on their debut album “The Style at The Time,” you’re invited to ride along on a unique musical journey. Buckle up.

Jessie DipperJessie Dipper
Folk-Grunge singer-songwriter, Jessie is a story-teller, who works as a commercial songwriter, music performance university lecturer and artist who is in the business of making beauty out of the brokenness of life.

Artist. Producer. Songwriter. Performer. Jessie Dipper is a UK-based artist whose music blends gritty guitar-driven energy with lyrical vulnerability and spiritual depth. Her vocal range — from gravelly grit to falsetto clarity — cuts through distortion and diegetic textures, crafting a sound she calls folk-grunge. Having performed in over 15 countries and supported UK tours with the likes of Scouting For Girls and Megan McKenna, both Jessie’s solo and band live shows are emotionally charged and sonically volatile — a space where chaos meets catharsis.
