LUCY ROSE (UK)
Lucy Rose is an elfin 20 year old songwriter with a voice that people instantly fall for. In her slight frame she combines purity of musical purpose, a beautifully grainy voice and a passionate songwriter's instincts with a thirst for Guinness, a deranged sense of humour and a disrespect for pop's history which comes naturally to someone born in 1989. She grew up in the countryside and escaped to London aged 19 to lead the life of teenage troubadour, dragging her guitar around town playing heartbending songs to drunk builders in East end pubs. As the weeks went by, magical occurrences started to take place. Her gigs began to fill up with ardent fans. Edith Bowman announced on Radio 1: "Lucy Rose is absolutely outstanding. A brilliant, brilliant voice that girl has on her." Jack Steadman from Bombay Bicycle Club invited her to duet on a song for the band's next album. Mumford And Sons asked her to play their night. John Kennedy asked her in for an XFM session. Her Watch Listen Tell video of 'Nightbus' clocked up 128 000 views at high speed and early reviewers proclaimed: "We're catching Lucy Rose at the beginning of what we think will be a long and prominent career arc." With her swag bag of songs overflowing , and her headline shows in London selling out fast, Lucy Rose is poised to become one of the voices of the next decade.

WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS (US)
"William Fitzsimmons is equal parts songwriter and psychotherapist, creating captivating music, which uniquely melds depravity, honesty, and autobiography into a counter-intuitive seamless whole. Since 2005, Fitzsimmons has created three full-length albums, each thoroughly themed and embossed with matters of family history, intimate disclosure, and bold confession, yielding rich folk music, ranging from the stark and acoustic to the voluminous and electronic. All the while reflecting William's commitment to addressing what is always pressing, and yet all too often ignored."

THE CAROSEL (IRELAND)
"Un duo irlandais de talent composé de la parolière/interprète Michelle Phelan et le guitariste/instrumentaliste Pete McGrane. Acclamé sur le plan international, CAROSEL a déjà un public dévoué depuis la sortie de leur premier album KALEIDOSCOPE début 2009. Le premier titre 'Easy as it Flows' est actuellement utilisé en bande originale pour la série télévisée canadienne 'The Best Years'."
