Ruarri Joseph

Ruarri Joseph returns this Autumn with a new album ‘Brother’ (Pip Productions). The record, Ruarri’s fourth studio album to date, is a record inspired and propelled by ideas of friendship, relationships and family.

Originally born in Edinburgh, the nomadic Joseph found his song- writing roots in the southwestern Pacific. A move to New Zealand, and the young Ruarri found himself coming of age in Dannevirke (population 6,000), an isolated, rural farming community.

At 17 Joseph packed his suitcase and moved back to the UK and settled in London, where he released his debut album ‘Tales Of Grime and Grit’ through Atlantic Records. Shortly after he quit Atlantic in favour of independence and so in 2008, he formed his own label ‘Pip Productions’ through which all his subsequent LPs have been released.



Inspired by Bob Dylan, the singer song-writer’s work has also earned him favourable comparisons to the chart-topping pop savvy sounds of Damian Rice and David Gray, artists which through no coincidence Joseph now shares management with.

"One of our best songwriters and lyricists" - THE TIMES "Dylan had he grown up in Cornwall" - NME?"A breath of fresh air" - OBSERVER?"One of the UK's top singer songwriters" - SETH LAKEMAN

"An intimacy somewhere between Bon Iver and Cat stevens" - UNCUT



Sam Bradley

Heavily influenced by Americana music due to his mother’s love for it Sam also brings elements of folk, rock, soul and country to his music.



A fan of simple songs without pretension Sam has been singled out by critics for his infectious, powerful voice and honest heartfelt song writing.



So far Sam has released two EP’s that have debuted at number 1 on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts in the US and has contributed a song (Never Think) to the soundtrack for the movie Twilight that was co-written and sung by his long-time friend Robert Pattinson.



Sam’s EP has been produced by Steve Power who has produced albums for some of the biggest names in music including the first 4 Robbie Williams albums, Ray LaMontagne, The Waterboys and many more.



Other musicians featured on the EP include Jeremy Stacey who has played drums for Ryan Adams and Sheryl Crow and Tim Van De Kuil who is currently Adele’s touring guitarist.

Joe Booley

Writing and performing his own songs, Joe has spent the last few years playing rock/punk in various bands, but now feels he's found his roots in a more folky style. Since a very young age he has been very interested and encouraged in music and playing instruments, and has been playing guitar and various other instruments since the age of 4. He was introduced to a wide variety of music including; The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan, which really kicked off his passion for music.
