As The Halfway Kid, British-Sudanese singer and songwriter Saeed Gadir makes music for communing, and finds himself in the midst of a new folk tradition - one that he’s writing in real time. With radio support from Jack Saunders and Sian Eleri at Radio 1, Steve Lamacq at 6 Music and John Kennedy at Radio X and a recent sold out headline show at London's Bush Hall, this is an event you won’t want to miss!

Ashaine White strives to be ‘alternative’ in the purest sense of the word. Putting it simply, “I want my music to represent me being myself” she says. To her, as a young Black woman in music, that mindset isn’t defined by a specific hairstyle, or the makeup she wears or even restricting the sonics of the music she creates to fit neatly within any one subculture. From the effortless silken riffs to the vulnerable lyricism to the dark, swirling undercurrent of the musicality, her dream is to connect people to themselves through her music, and do so by existing as freely and authentically as she possibly can.
