Tales of George
After the idea was bounced around for a while, Tales of George officially formed in September 2009 in the sleepy seaside resort of Bognor Regis on the south coast. Long time friends Dan Simons and Terence Wing met bass player James Langridge through mutual friends, and ...after a trip to Bennicassim festival in 2009 it was decided that the trio would set about writing their own songs and start gigging

Ivan Hays
Chichester native who had been surrounded by music at a young age, thanks to those at Airtight Studios, and influenced by beatmakers overseas, Ivan Hays's blend of chilled rhythms and chopped vocals is nothing groundbreaking, but hits the stop like a cold drink on a hot day.

Core Of iO
Against the tide of ultra low tunings and borderline double digit guitar strings, Core of iO deliver a unique brand of Heavy Rock that leans on elements of Mathcore, Progressive and Tech Metal.
Grunge infused vocals, relentless drums, intricate guitar work and hyperactive bass fuses to form a sound that is “dynamic, intelligent and dripping with hooks”. Common influences and comparisons made include The Mars Volta, Fall of Troy and Sikth.

With a cast of five regulars, plus a handful of guest vocalists and brass sections, Ticklin the Pickle are a band with more funk than you’d typically expect to find in their home town of Chichester.
Noah’s House Band
From within the hull of Noah's Ark; comes Noah's House Band, a quirky series of family friendly folkesque tunes unlike anything ever heard before.
Using vocal dexterity, honky instruments, household implements and the furthest reaches of imagination the cast of characters regale us with their enchanting tales including a hydrophobic whale and a Duckbill platypus with an identity crisis.

Audio Kulture
I fell in love with Electronic Dance Music after frequenting White Sugar, Tonic, Beatroute and In-ter-Dance nights on the South Coast of England. I began DJing in 1993. Playing at 'Tonic' @ The Empire Club (Bognor Regis), 'Luxuria' (Southampton), 'Gossips' (Soho), 'Conch' @ J21 (Leicester) and the Escape Club (Brighton). I was lucky enough to play alongside some of the best DJs on the planet including Kevin Saunderson, John Acquaviva, Mr C, Evil Eddie Richards, Colin Dale, Terry Francis, Craig Richards, Nick Warren, Stacey Tough and Femi B.
I enjoy all genres of music, if it's good I like it.
When DJing or performing live, I play Deep, Minimal, House and Techno.
Black Gamma
A band of four from Chichester. Happily fusing the Latin rhythms of Mexico with dub,
alternative rock and the odd bit of funk. Whatever it is, there are sure to be good vibes and
lots of energy.
