OLD TIME RADIO are Lawrence and Al Norton from Andover. The brothers have played in bands together since their early teens, but 2009 was the year they finally decided to start writing and performing their own songs. Making music that they are passionate about, they draw on their influences of indie/folk/bluegrass and country to produce a unique sound that is truly their own. Al provides the lead vocals and percussion, and Loz, guitar and backing vocals. The band are currently in the process of recording their first EP.

"Great music needs limitations, whether intentional or not. Old Time Radio have plenty... take from that what you will"

THE FORTUNATE are a young four piece band full of vitality and energy. The band consists of Lead Vocalist Natalie, Guitarist Sam, Bassist Rich and Drummer Simon.

â€œBig gushing hyper pop sound, driving indie rocking guitar underpinned by broad melodic bass lines, swathes of keys for colour and bombastic drums.

They formed in early 2009, and have played many successful gigs throughout the year. They have shared the stage with some incredible bands.

The Fortunate are extremely grateful for all the support they have been given by family, friends, fans and everyone who shares their passion for music.

They continue to gig frequently and look forward to an even more successful year in 2010.
