Anita seamlessly channels her life experiences, utilising songwriting as her therapeutic process.

South London Samba Youth

We are South London Samba, a collective of young people who love to drum. We play energetic music inspired by Latin, Caribbean and African rhythms, blended together with our South London vibe.

We’ve performed with the Black Eyed Peas (UEFA Champions League Final 2017), Cricket World Cup Opening Ceremony 2019, Eastenders BBC Children in Need, Crystal Palace FC, Lovebox Festival, Love Supreme, O2 Arena, Virgo Festival and Notting Hill Carnival (to name a few). We’re currently rehearsing and running classes at Midi Music Company in Deptford, and The Green in Nunhead.

Moxon

Moxon is an indie loop pedal artist hailing from Sheffield but has found his home in South London. Mixing guitar loops, drum beats and occasional harmonica. Moxon pairs his sound with honest lyrics about his home, friends and love. His live performance is truly where he shines brightest; you can’t help but smile as he brings the audience together. An artist to watch.

Vibe Machine

Vibe Machine go out live as a 6 piece – 2 female vocalists, 1 male MC, 1 live drummer, 1 keyboardist and a live VeeJay + Guest MC Spike Zephaniah and Alien Rapping Puppet Runchtacular. Our VeeJay Nikolai using a touch sensitive screen produces original art in real time, projected onto the stage as visuals, creating an experience unique to every Vibe Machine performance.

Louis Chapple

Louis Chapple’s hearing impairment couldn’t stop him becoming a singer-songwriter, and the impending collapse of society could never stop his band from bringing his mad creations to life. His songs are like a fusion cuisine, a pop base decorated by elements of soul, punk, jazz, and the limits of his imagination. His debut EP “Who Are You?” is an angry one, brimming with despair, infuriation and youth, and a vow to continue to change the world for the better, even as it crumbles beneath our feet. What better to fuel a live performance?

The Badgers

Originating in South West London, we are the Badgers. Gigging for a few years, we play both covers and originals – Double Lives being our latest creation. You can find us at venues like the Hootenanny pub, The Front room (Croydon), Fuse Box (Kingston), The Railway Tavern (Herne Hill), Temple of Art’s Music (Elephant and Castle), and many more…
