Izzie Derry
Described as “the love child of Laura Marling and Alanis Morissette,” Izzie’s honest lyrics and soaring melodies capture the essence of modern womanhood. Her raw, authentic sound blends introspective storytelling with powerful vocals.
Having performed at Glastonbury Festival and supported artists like John Grant and Fairport Convention, Izzie is fast becoming a notable name in the industry. Her music has featured on BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6, and her collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Roger Lomas inspired her to start self-producing.
With heartfelt lyrics, dynamic melodies, and a distinctive voice, Izzie continues to captivate audiences and carve out her place in the music world.
Banoffee
'We are Banoffee an indie folk duo based in the midlands and London. Starting out from a shared passion of music we have now released two singles (bonfires and mirror to mirror) and perform live across Warwickshire, Coventry and Birmingham. Being a duo we bring our shared experiences together to create songs full of harmonies and sincere lyrics.'
