Line Up
Liv Dawn is a singer-songwriter from Scotland who delicately blends pop and folk within her music. Much like storytelling, Liv crafts compelling tales relating to everyday life and relationships in the hopes that it will resonate with her listeners and create a one-to-one connection.
Having performed in numerous acclaimed venues across Scotland, Liv’s prowess to hold an audience with her powerful vocals will always provide a captivating yet intimate show. After the release of her first single ‘Reason’ in 2019, Liv headed to London to perform and was spotted by McFly’s very own Tom Fletcher.
Already making her mark on the Scottish music scene, Liv was selected as a finalist in the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland’s Singer/Songwriter of the Year Award 2019. Liv showcased her talent during the live final held at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow and gained praise from industry personalities such as Horse McDonald, Jim Gellatly, Ricky Ross and Grant Stott.
With a successful start to 2020 by supporting Tom Walker on his U.K. Home Run Tour, Liv was also announced on festival line-ups including Glasgow’s Country to Country Festival. Releasing her award finalist song ‘Welcome Home’ and concluding 2021 by headlining The Hug and Pint in Glasgow, Liv now has exciting plans to release a meaningful, folk-tingled EP in Summer 2022.

With 3 EP's under her belt, London based, Scottish alt-folk solo artist Luna Neptune has wowed critics and audiences alike. Deftly fusing folk with melodic psych-rock and spacey alt-pop soundscapes, Luna Neptune's innovating folk for the 21st century.
With other worldly vocals, bold lyricism and bittersweet guitar lines, Luna's drawn comparison to Bon Iver, Jesca Hoop, Father John Misty and Zola Jesus; leading to a European tour, headline slots across London, and festival appearances at Fairport’s Croperdy Convention and the main stage of Solarsphere Festival.
5th Moon EP (2017), announced Luna’s signature space pop folk rock sound to the world and gained blog support and artist of the week slots on Skowt, District De Capo and Dear Damsels. Sophmore EP Next Automated Wave (2018) received rave reviews from international tastemaker blogs Fresh On The Net, Come Here Floyd and Muzikalia. Both records were fully written, performed and produced by Luna Neptune, with Alex Fernades mixing tracks Elspeth & Elijah and The Illustrious Pen Thief, which was named one of Valley FM's (Aus) songs of the week.
Reverse The Hexes EP (2019) was recorded at East London's Gunfactory Studios by Tom McFall (Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party, Pete Doherty) and is her most stripped back offering to date. A 3 track EP inspired by witches, the record most resembles her live show.
Thematically, Neptune’s music examines themes of propaganda, feminism, and human relationships. Every song released has received international radio play including Amazing Radio, the legendary Folkal Point show, New York’s Radio Soho, Blues and Roots Radio (Canada) with live sessions on Hoxton Radio, Roundhouse Radio and a Vochlea Session at Abbey Road Studios.
Gaining a reputation as a meticulous, vividly creative producer; and an engaging and enticing live performer - Luna Neptune was recently announced as a Vochlea beta tester and has a number of festival appearances coming up over 2019.
