Alfie Firmin
Singer/Songwriter
Southend-on-Sea based singer/songwriter Alfie Firmin’s bittersweet, breezy indie tunes are the perfect complement to his thoughtful lyrics and good-natured delivery.
He established his songwriting style and full-band approach on his first two solo albums, 2018’s Setting Sun and 2020’s Waiting On, which showcased warm, California-evoking folk-rock arrangements of electric guitars, lap steel, and vintage organs alongside a rhythm section. Following the arrival of a pandemic and foiled plans to move abroad, his third album, 2023’s Absentee, again embraced a deceptively sweet sound with touches of McCartney and Laurel Canyon.

MG Boulter
Singer/Songwriter
Following his successful 2022/2023 tours, which brought his Clifftown album to life through specially shot film projections and an enhanced touring band, M G Boulter is preparing live shows for Spring 2024.
It’s been a busy time for M G, having toured extensively with his Clifftown show whilst also undertaking his live duties as a member of Jon Boden’s Remnant Kings. He also recorded and released his new EP ‘A Shadow Falls over New Brighton’ on Hudson Records, as well as the joint single, ‘Flint Knapped’ with Shetland songwriter Jenny Sturgeon.
2024 promises to be equally productive with a new album being recorded in March (with BBC Folk Award winning producer Andy Bell and an ensemble of some the country’s best known folk musicians) and more singles planned with Jenny. Garnering praise from reviewers like Uncut describing his work as “gorgeous in a word” and R2 listing him as “a weapons grade songwriter”, expect a more intimate show for 2024 combining new album material and storytelling, highlighting M G’s songs as an important contemporary voice in the long tradition of the singer-songwriter.
