“Press to MECO’s unconventional take on riffs, pop hooks and three part vocal harmonies have become their trademark. The debut album ‘Good Intent’ was shortlisted for the 2016 AIM Independent Album of the Year, alongside Radiohead, Frank Carter and Skepta. The band recently finished a sold out acoustic run of dates in support of their new EP. They are currently working on a new album.”
Casey Lowry
“At the age of 19, Casey had already been featured as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Artist of the Week’ and sold out some of the UK’s largest and most well-known venues, all before releasing his first single. His Radio One playlisted debut single ‘Trampoline’ achieved huge success in its first few weeks of release, charting at #2 on Spotify’s UK Viral 50 charts, hitting #28 in the iTunes Singer / Songwriter charts, and gaining over 500,000 streams since release. Now 22 years old, he has already toured with the likes of Jack & Jack, LANY, The Hunna and Saint Raymond. Lowry has a UK tour coming up this April and will play a number of festivals over the summer.”
Laura Wright
“Singer, composer, sporting ambassador, Laura is one of the best-selling classical artists of the decade and has released three solo albums with Decca/Universal.
