Running from 1pm – 3pm, the stage will feature four acts. First on the bill is Moreish Idols (Speedy Wunderground), a dynamic quintet from South London, who defy categorisation with their explosive energy and genre-defying sound, driven by hyper-melodic guitars and saxophones. Following their performance is Vanity Fairy (Moshi Moshi) the creation of songwriter Daisy Capri, whose shimmering falsetto has earned her a devoted following in London’s grassroots scene. Ella Raphael (Fire Records) will then take the stage, known for her mesmerising voice effortlessly blends bluesy depth and euphoric warmth. Rounding off the lineup is Scandinavian singer-songwriter Malin Andersson(Futureproof) offering introspective melodies and soulful vocals, exploring themes of hypersensitivity and self-defense in modern society. Market goers are in for a proper treat!
