MVT Fundraiser Southampton @ The Platform Tavern

Charlie Smith

My name might be common, but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith, a fiercely independent artist from Southampton, UK. Not only do I record and perform my own music, but I also play a part in the local grassroots music scene by regularly hosting my own music events.

Nic Forsyth

Nic Forsyth is a singer/songwriter from Southampton who has previously been involved in several local original and covers bands as a guitarist and harmony vocalist. Last year, he started writing new material, hit a prolific writing streak and formed a new band, Waldo Salt. Whilst rehearsing with the new band, the writing streak continued and new songs kept on coming. So keen to get these new songs heard, he embarked for the first time as a solo acoustic artist.

Influenced by post punk, indie pop and a love of concise melodic tunes, expect songs of infectious joy and misery.

JAX LEONARD

Jax Leonard is an acoustic artist who writes songs about their experiences as an autistic person, living in a world that has never felt welcoming, and all the deep feelings that come alongside that.
With an intimate, emotional, folk-pop sound, inspired by the likes of Paul Simon, Nick Drake, and traditional folk music. Music for the people who feel deeply

Nick Haynes

Nick Haynes is a semi-acoustic songsmith who crafts melodies from the hidden fragments of life’s stories. His music weaves together gay love songs, laments for lost venues and old friends, and celebrations of holidays, parties, food, and new places. Each song connects with a part of you that has been dormant, waiting to be awakened by his heartfelt lyrics and soulful tunes.
