Sure, there are twangy banjos, driving guitars, a honky-tonk piano, and a thudding double bass but these propel everything from drinking songs that will have the room stomping their feet and raising their flagons of cider, to ballads that will break even the toughest of folk.
Play your cards right and you might even get invited for a waltz!
Week after week you will find your Swamp Stomp boys rambling the length and breadth of the country, gigging hundreds of shows a year, on their never-ending tour.
However, they are seldom happier than when in front of a crowd and raising up a storm in their favourite haunts: from rural but rowdy roadside saloons; to dusty, booze-fuelled cider festivals; to selling out the finest, dimly lit, good-time bars.
Taking a mixture of Country, Bluegrass, Ragtime and anything Americana, The Swamp Stomp String Band are a raucous and energetic travelling band renowned for their boisterous and bawdy, rough and rowdy, theatrically extravagant performances, guaranteed to be enjoyed by folk young and old, rich and poor; and by those who just love to stamp their feet and have a hoe-down!

One of India’s youngest Grammy Submitted artist’s is a 19 year old high school graduate, Kiara Chettri.
She has also made history as the first ever/youngest Indian solo artist to hit top spots (No.1 & no.2) on global radio charts with her single Why, which is the track that got her a Grammy Submission.
Soon after her big win on the global radio arena, Kiara Chettri brought a parade of happy thoughts amongst contrasting emotions, in her single Falling, her up-tempo bluesy pop track about falling out of love.
She released her latest single What We Could Be this year June which portrays all the teen angst surrounding the subject of love and feelings.
Roughly, almost 2 years ago, chart-topping singing whiz Kiara Chettri made her debut with a full length album titled 4 am that won the teenager significant praise and acknowledgement for her talent as a young singer-songwriter.
She has since moved to the UK to further pursue her unstoppable musical career.
Stay tuned for some exciting news about Kiara coming up soon!

Hailing from the island nation of Singapore, London-based alternative rock band Coming Up Roses forge a sound that is distinctively familiar – yet you can’t quite put your finger on.
Led by singer-bassist Emily Sera, the group has emerged as one of the most promising acts out of Southeast Asia owing to their dynamic live shows and heartfelt lyrical themes.
22-year-old Isabel Inkcap‘s sound has been influenced as much by following dad around England’s folk clubs as a kid as it has by Aurora, Hayley Heynderickx, Big Thief, Aldous Harding & Laura Marling.
A stunning vocal matched by her strong songwriting and knowledge of melody.
Isabel sings and plays guitar and banjo. She is joined by Ant on lap guitar and 12 string and Ted playing double bass and electric guitar.
Having traveled across America as an 18 year old with only her guitar for company and then getting stuck in Vietnam over lockdown, Isabel found her tempo for self-reflection and a flow to create. She came home with a head full of ideas and a backpack full of songs.
Her songs reflect the deep thinking and progression of a young woman walking her own path, finding her creativity and defining herself.
We have exciting news to come as we will soon be presenting Isabel live in her own London headline show.

Whilst most in the music business seek to own “rights” over artists and their music – and rise as they rise in popularity, we somewhat swim against the tide.
We seek constantly to discover what’s new – promoting exceptional fresh young talent. Those that head to London with the dream of making a career in music.
This is just a case in point. We were so impressed with these two incredible Estonian girls – Saara and Gertrud, best known as Backing Vocals (BV’s) to Lisa Canny – that we gave them their own show at the award-winning Green Note in Camden.
