Philclarkful

Imagine if the Happy Mondays developed a love for funky guitar solos and shacked up in Sneinton. Got that in your head? Good - that’s the best description we’ve got for the hazy beauty of Philclarkful - the new project of, you guessed it – Phil Clark. You’ll have seen PC leading some notoriously sick live bands around NG, including Mowbeck and Kiss Corona. Now, he’s gone full Elon Musk and started doing everything himself. Loads of quirky sounds and big catchy melodies.

Saffron Gray

Old school RnB, sprinkled with 2020 pop sass: that’s a pretty good one-liner for what to expect from Saffron. Working with NG songwriters Chawe, Andretheproducer and Jonni Scott, she’s basically got a 0115 dream team behind her, topped off with silky, soulful vocals that glues the package together nicely. A belter of a voice, killer songwriting and she’s even nailed the branding. When the world isn’t corona’d, you better get ready to see Saffron everywhere.
