Café/Bar

London’s very own and well respected Ukulele shop and recording studios: Soup Studios, promote their own music adventures.
The Duke of Uke’s interest in instrument and craft is reflected in their eclectic and playful line-ups. 

Sparky Deathcap

Sparky Deathcap is a young musician and cartoonist from Manchester , now living in London . His style has been compared to Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, although one can hear the innocent truth of Daniel Johnston in his lyrics combined with the sad lament of Elliot Smiths vocals. Banjo, whistling and hand claps dance with lyrics that speak of first loves, being creepy, end trails of dead animals and parks in September. 

Sparky has started up his own independent record label Nettle Jam as well as his own daily cartoon website Tear Jerky; his illustrations often accompany his performances. He has toured with Daniel Johnston and Los Campesinos! As well as supporting Panda Bear, Shearwater and Julie Doiron.

“shuffly indie folk fetches up somewhere in-between Leonard Cohen, Grizzly Bear and Moldy Peaches.” – Timeout

Planet Earth

Released on Young and Lost Club, Planet Earth is like a summer song; with a 50’s driving drum beat, a hint of surf guitar and soothing vocal harmonies this band makes you feel like slipping on the canvas shoes and bunking off of work on a sunny afternoon.

They have shared the stage with artists such as Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, Jeffrey Lewis and Noah and the Whale to name a few.

King and the Olive Fields

You have to love the titles of King and the Olive Fields songs, such as Dinosaurs, Fingerpainting and Trumpet Song. One could be easily mislead into thinking he is a children’s song writer and in a way they embody just that, simple innocent, beautifully well written songs that can easily trigger nostalgia.
