Mark Norman Harris feat. Henni Linnea

Mark Norman Harris is a Canadian artist whose work is an eclectic mix of folk, rap, and blues tied together with improv, comedy and storytelling.  Currently based in Paris, he released an EP (Pre War Era) with Quvib Publishing,  as an illustrated book with a digital download.  The group consists of musicians from different countries, namely France, Finland, and the UK. The work is intended to be satirical social commentary and banal entertainment.

Finnish Henni Linnea is a London-based violinist and performer. After meeting Mark in Nepal, they have played together for three years, including an epic late night gig at last year's Byline. Henni is a skilled improviser and her fiddling adds a certain magic to the music. Classically trained, she has now immersed herself in folk, rock, hip hop and spoken word, and performs with artists from all over.  Henni performs regularly with the Poetry Brothel London.

Another Eden

Another Eden was created by Kieron Jones, Naoto Shimoda & David Sillitoe in 2007, blending a mix of Indie Blues & Acoustic Poetry in typical heart wrenching fashion.
Though the band write reflecting current political news, i.e American Gun laws (Miss America), or Phone tapping by News Int (Headline), it's core theme will be found in the corridors of love, loss & atonement. Think Jeff Buckley, with his arms around Elliott Smith listening to a mix tape of Neil Young & Fishmans (Japan) & you get the idea.

Richard McKay - Richard is a dry, composed and intellectual stand-up comedian, who will be offering the audience something other than shouting and running around. Richard has been doing stand-up for two years and at the time of writing this he has done around 100 open-mic gigs (lost count!).

Laura Coolfell

Having got a lot of time to kill, Laura Coolfell is on a mission to see how long she can perform as a 'comedian' for before she actually has to tell a joke. So far, it's going great, and it's unlikely this show will contain any punchlines. Although, it is likely to contain unsolicited thrusting and mispronounced words, so it's probably not one for the kids (unless they already see a therapist on the regular).
