Susie Ledge
Susie Ledge is an up and coming singer-songwriter and guitarist. Renowned for her evocative lyrics and emotive yet chilled out style, she creates songs that are soothing to the ear and vivid for the imagination, and her music has the unusual ability of being instantly recognisable whilst remaining original and engaging. 2007 was an incredible year for Susie, having played just about every small live venue around central London over the past few years, growing media attention (including being hand-picked twice to be a featured artist on Myspace) and her fan base growing with every performance, Susie was invited to support Kosheen at their sold out London show at Koko, and following her touching performance, was then ask to support them on their European tour. Playing to tens of thousands of people, Susie captivated and mesmerized audiences through Europe, leaving extreme interest for returning shows and releases. Susie has recently began working on a co-writing project with Darren Stokes (Tin Tin Out) and Phil Larson (Manhattan Clique) Darren has previously produced artists such as Emma Bunton, The Corrs, Shelly Nelson and Phil was awarded a Grammy in 2004 for his remix of Kylie Minogues' 'Come into my world' and also co-wrote and produced the debut solo album for Andy Bell (Erasure) featuring Jake Shears(Scissor Sisters) and Claudia Brucken. Recently she hooked up with Ben Preston for some very danceable tracks, Ben Preston feat. Susie

The Tellers

The Tellers
Just landed on 62 TV records (Girls in Hawaii, Malibu Stacy, Austin Lace, etc.), this very young duet (19 and 20) from Bousval remained only as a bedroom secret till lately. The simple story of two big kids -not really interested in spending days in school or college- who spend their time playing their guitar and writing songs, a with a stron rock feel, somewhere between Bob Dylan, the Libertines or Violent Femmes. After losing a demo contest on belgian alternative national radio Pure FM and receiving a true enthusiastic response, the two boys got more sure of themselves and decided to show the people what they are up to. In october 2005 they opened shyly for Saint Thomas at Brussels Botanique Club. A few month later, they are back as a support act for Belgian band Venus and The Tellers are truly another group, Ben and Charles show the arrogant talent of the ones that come from nowhere. Okay from nowhere indeed, but you have to reckon that they don't show up holding anything in their hands... Ben has a voice that gives you thrills as Charles is taking care of all subtle acoustic arrangments, the Tellers fire at you with laidback ballads, melancholy tunes,...beauty. Their third gig was at the Nuits Botanique festival in Brussels, they'll play the Dour festival and a couple summer gigs around Europe. They'll have a 7-track-mini album available in june, lend them your ear... or even both... (2) There is at least one pre-existing artist with this name, a power-pop/ pub rock group from Brisbane, Australia fronted by Damien Garvey. They released 2 albums, a cassette-only release in 1991, and CD "Flex" in 1992, and enjoyed a loyal local following.

Like so many bands, Fixkes intially distributed their songs on their MySpace page. In 2007, they were picked up by the Dutch Excelsior Recordings. One month later, their first single Kvraagetaan (Irequestit) entered the Belgian singles chart at #2 and hit #1 for 16 weeks, a belgian record and most sold single of 2007. Fixkes released their debut album 'Fixkes' in November 2008 which received Gold status one month later.

In January 2010 Fixkes released the single "Rock-'n-Roll" from their forthcoming second album "Superheld" which will hit the stores on March 8.
