Find out about the popular new songwriting talent Tom Baxter, The Magic Lantern, Rory Butler and Sherika Sherard.

TOM BAXTER

After a number one record in Ireland, top ten in the UK and deals with Sony/Columbia and EMI for Feather & Stone and Skybound, many of you will be no stranger to Tom. His track Miracle was used for the BBC's final Beijing Olympic montage and he's even been covered by Dame Shirley Bassey who recorded one of our favourites, Almost There.

THE MAGIC LANTERN

If you liked the Tiny Ruins record last year, this will be right up your street. The Magic Lantern is the musical moniker of Jamie Doe. With an immediately arresting voice that has been compared to Chet Baker and Jeff Buckley and a unique guitar style that takes elements of folk fingerpicking, Flamenco and West African music.

“Intriguing, compelling and exceptional. A man to watch”
– The Guardian

“Bitter sweet, beautiful music”
– Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3 Late Junction

RORY BUTLER

Absolutely masterful on the guitar, and a writer who will no doubt go on to be worthy of the comparisons. Rory was handpicked by Danny Thompson to play at his 70th birthday; he won the Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections and opened for a sell out performance by Rachel Sermanni.
