Robert Sherman

Rob Sherman started as a poet and sort of fell into songwriting through a zesty combination of peer pressure and boredom. Drawing from a range of interests including foreign cooking, mythology and ladies, he writes songs in plain view that use words instead of trying to hide them under instrumental arrangements.

Emily Wood

Emily is a song-writing talent coming from the same scene that brought us the majestic Laura Marling and upcoming Mumford and Sons.

Although the songs on her Myspace page were recorded during 'one week in april, singing in the kitchen' the inherent melancholic beauty of her songs belie the humble origins of their recording.

Katie Tranter

contact: kt242@ex.ac.uk

Katie writes for and creates performance that celebrates, exploits and ridicules the things she loves and hates, is constantly in search of something sincere but not necessarily truthful, with a deep interest in international human rights issues. Recent projects include Mirror Love (March '09) Asylum Monologues (Refugee Week '09) The Vagina Monologues (May '08) and Marathon ‘08 including Hamletmachine with Prof. Phillip Zarilli.

Chase Lynn

Chase is an angry punk kid who isn’t really good at anything except maybe music. Maybe. He has a bunch of songs which he’s written, some even actually recorded, but hopefully he’ll have even more up soon, if he ever gets his rear in gear. He's getting there.

Madii Shann

Madii has been freestyling songs since she was old enough to talk, but it was when she began listening to artists like Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos and Suzanne Vega in her early teens that she started playing guitar and writing decent material. Her songs began as confessional, sugarcoated teen-angst; before beginning to integrate fiction and storytelling.

Henry Arthur

Human being, director, producer, enthusiast, drummer, opera buff, consultant, archeologist and diplomat, Henry lives to dabble. He directed Rob Sherman’s first play, The God In The Well and produced Lysistrata, Isley Lynn’s theatrical romp through gender and language. He hopes the future will not involve falling down a well nor being chastised by Lysistrata for being late...

Sarah Alice Ogilvie

Sarah loves putting her imagination down on paper, and has been illustrating since giving up her job in a chocolate shop. Her illustrations document the weird, the wonderful and sometimes the downright abnormal. She is happiest with her music on and her pen out.  Look out for the new illustrated Zine Valve Works (written by Rob Sherman) soon.

Open for commission.

Hollie Rogers

Intricate acoustic guitar, tightly written, deeply felt lyrics and a powerful, clear voice are the hallmarks of Hollie’s music. She has been gigging since 2005, and her debut album Let Me Be The Shadow Of Your Dog is a touching and complex album displaying an astonishing maturity given that she was 19 at the time of writing. Hollie is currently gigging around her home county of Cornwall and writing for a second album.

Schmoks ‘n’ Yoks

Schmoks 'N' Yoks are a seriously original group that blur the line between theatre and music. Based in Exeter, they are a Klezmer band that does traditional Yiddish music as well as covers of famous pop sounds from Girls Just Want To Have Fun to I Yi Yi Yi Yi by Carmen Miranda.
