SHOWCASE ARTISTS
Glasgow’s Alice Faye is an assured and genre-defying songwriter, blending 70s pop, 60s folk, and country with the theatrical influence of Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel. Her confessional style, reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright, pairs with a powerful, timeless voice to create immersive, emotional music. Her acclaimed EP Deadbeat earned BBC airplay and festival appearances. A standout on Channel 4’s The Piano, she has sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe and is the 2025 Sound of Young Scotland winner. With awards and international touring under her belt, and her debut album Vaude Villain due in 2026, Alice continues to rise as a compelling new voice.
ALICE FAYE
Archie (often referred to as Archie Cw or Archie CW Music) is an emerging singer-songwriter and pop artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. He has rapidly gained attention on social media and the Scottish live music scene for his energetic, pop-rock, and jazz-influenced sound.
ARCHIE
Becky Sikasa is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and producer who blends neo-soul and alternative R&B into rich, introspective soundscapes. Her poetic lyrics explore love, identity, and personal transformation, earning her critical acclaim and growing national recognition.
She released her debut EP Twelve Wooden Boxes in 2022, followed by The Writings and the Pictures and the Song in 2024, both of which were shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award. Becky has toured with Nile Rodgers, supported Corto.Alto, Joy Crookes and Crane Wives amongst others and was recently named BBC Introducing’s Scottish Artist Of The Year 2025.
