~Jharda~

A unique harpist and singer-songwriter, Jharda taught herself the lever harp whilst at university and for the past four years has been performing regularly as a solo artist, mesmerising audiences all over London with her mature and tuneful self-penned love songs. Her work as a session pop-harpist has recently seen her performing and recording with artists such as Groove Armadas ex front-woman, Saint Saviour, and Island Records Tinashé. Jharda has truly found a modern edge to this timeless instrument.

~ Carpool Conversation~

At a Carpool Conversation gig you would expect to see Brian O'Reilly playing guitar into his loopstation along with sitar and vocals. Brian creates and builds songs live utilising the loopstation to give depth and diversity to his sound. Expect to hear anything from psychedelia and sitar tunes to melodic folk rock with a bluesy roots feel.

~Anthea Neads & Andy Prince~

Anthea excels at tender and evocative singing, revealing both fragility and strength of message that touches listeners and reflects universal themes. Her vocals have been described as clear and pure, with a bell-like quality and warmth reminiscent of the likes of Kate Rusby and Martha Tilston. Her musical influences over the years have been many and varied, and although she is most closely associated with the folk genre there are hints of her open-minded approach to music throughout her songwriting.
