The Joe Fleming Band
A powerful and energetic three piece, the Joe Fleming Band play a blend of acoustic soul and reggae.
Bang Bang Romeo
Musically they would like to be in bed with Muse, Arcade Fire, Ladyhawke, Depeche Mode, Friendly Fires, Talking Heads, Groove Armada, Eurythmics, Joy Division, Snow Patrol and the Human League, but it would have to be a big bed. Bang Bang Romeo aim to set out their own stall, whether it’s singing unplugged versions of their songs or harnessing the mighty powers of the Mac and Logic and loads of synth sounds, to produce a big and powerful electronic guitar dance mix. Variety is the key, and an eclectic mix of influences helps.
Urban All Stars
The dj collective The Urban Allstars have been spreading their love of the funk for may a year.
The records they play are just upfront, good time, party tunes. Everything from northern soul, funk, jazz, hip hop, and reggae. Anything to make you move your feet as well as your soul!
Lucy Dagg Band
Lucy grew up in Leeds and now resides in London surrounded by her gorgeous band of likeminded rapscallions. Their music is inspired by the likes of Patty Griffin and Dolly Parton but with a twist of Florence & The Machine and Massive Attack, giving it a darker edge.

Zemmy
Zemmy puts her own unique twist on the pop genre, writing songs that are relatable and catchy but full of depth and emotion. Influenced by artists such as Sade, Lauryn Hill, Sia, Dido and Beyonce, she creates intelligent pop songs which span across the wide spectrum of the genre.
Jah Mission Vibes
The band play roots reggae, dub, rocksteady, ska as well as other reggae styles and during their short time together have started to build up a following in and around Lancashire on the back of some very impressive festival performances.
Jah Mission Vibes aim to bring a little Jamaican sunshine to Limetree.
Hannah Trigwell
Hannah Trigwell has built a worldwide fan base through Youtube and her first gig was busking on the streets of Leeds. Now, Hannah and her band are set to release their debut single ‘HEADRUSH’ on iTunes April 11th. Somewhere in between The Script and Adele, Hannah has a truly emotive lyrical style backed by a band that swallow you up in a depth of sound.
Dub Fairy
In under two years as Dub Fairy I have become the top female looper in the UK as a prizewinner in the UK finals of the Boss Loop Station Competition 2010, competing against the best loopers in the country including Woodnote and renowned beatboxer Shlomo, whom I later performed with in Leeds.
This success has led me to become involved with BBC Introducing and the B-side project along with offers of collaboration and band projects.
