Malcolm MacWatt
Scottish songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm MacWatt is a unique voice in UK Americana weaving Celtic balladry into Trans-Atlantic folk.
Signed to respected US label Need To Know Music, MacWatt has iconic artists such as Gretchen Peters, Eliza Carthy and Kris Drever performing on his current album Settler.
He has released four albums since 2018, both as a solo artist and with his band The Glass Mountains.
Originally from the Highlands, MacWatt has lived in London since 2010.
?...superbly crafted compositions that skillfully combine elements of folk and country...it?s intelligent and absorbing, reminiscent of Steve Earle?s The Mountain? RnR Magazine
?While not an American, Scottish Malcolm MacWatt perfectly encapsulates Americana music, particularly the voice and sound of the Appalachian region? Tiffani Perkins, Americana Highways

Amity Miller
Amity?s dark, defiant and dramatic sound was described in The Guardian newspaper as ?miraculous? with ?dense surreal lyricism?, comparing Amity to Adele and Regina Spektor. His calling card of ?profound, broody and rebellious? tracks (Durham Magazine) and ?stunning? voice (BBC Radio Newcastle) have scooped numerous national and international competition successes, placing Amity in the UK?s top 30 young songwriters in their category this year according to the SAYS panel of industry judges.
Amity?s raw, powerhouse voice and vivid, moving lyrics have led to them being invited to be a regular performer at Sessions58 Rise, where they are the youngest-ever artist - hailed by the Q club as ?a true prodigy on our stage?. Talent scouted by numerous major TV shows on both sides of the Atlantic, Amity increasingly appears at important venues across London and is all set for a performance at the Royal Albert hall in the finals of the Future Makers this autumn.
Amity?s empowering lyrics are imprinted by his drive for justice, inner healing, freedom and a passion for enriching lives, along the way documenting his own ongoing journey from darkness to light. Amity has already been interviewed by BBC Radio, Lyme Bay Radio and in specialist podcasts, to talk about the laser focus of his work ? to shine a light on issues he believes remain hidden far too often, from mental health, bullying and abuse, to kindness, self destruction and transgender issues.
Amity is currently writing with Dee Adam (Dido, Kaiser Chiefs, Newton Faulkner) and Andrew Kingslow (John Legend).
?The talent Amity exudes is immense. You?ll all know his name in a couple of years?. Trina Smith, EPMG

Hair of the Dog Biography
There are at least 2 bands named Hair of the Dog.
1.) 1992 - present - A celtic folk band formed in 1992, bringing together six musicians from the upstate New York acoustic music scene. Since then, Hair Of The Dog has entertained thousands of fans of all ages with their unique blend of Celtic, rock, folk and bluegrass music. Their high energy sound, four-part harmonies and tight instrumental attack has made them one of Americas favorite Irish folk bands, and an international success as well.
2.) Defunct since 2001 - A Hard rock band from Hair Of The Dog is is a much vaunted rootsy hard rock act that bucked all trends to attain popular appeal. Anchored in LA for many years, the band was forged in Granada Hills, CA by Michigan natives guitarist John 'Racer' Sepetys, bassist Brian 'Boot' Saputo, in union with Kansas born front man Ryan Cook. The band's debut eponymous 1997 record would include a track 'Cadillac Jack' which spread like wildfire across rock radio stations of the American midwest. Promoting the album would find the band almost without respite on the road for nearly two years, which included over 50 dates with RATT in 1997. After these gigs were completed, the band parted ways with drummer Johnny Evans and enlisted a replacement drummer for another 8 months of touring. This time they scored an opening slot for CINDERELLA throughout much of 1998. For their second album, Hair of the Dog recruited drummer Mike Dupke and recorded in Wireworld Studios just outside of Nashville with the legendary hard rock producer MICHAEL WAGENER. Their second album "Rise" was released on Spitfire Records in April of 2000 and the band hit the road again, this time with slots supporting MOTORHEAD in the summer and SKID ROW in the fall of 2000. Right as the band's reputation and following truly began to blossom, Sepetys was forced to leave the band because of an affliction he'd been struggling with for several years ('focal hand dystonia'). The band went on to record their third album "Ignite" and it was released again via Spitfire in 2001. They enlisted Brian Saunders to fill the vacant guitar spot while on the road in the fall of 2001. It was rumored the band had split up, but no offical announcement was ever made. Members of the band moved on to other projects with Dupke joining first Eric Sardinas and then becoming the drumme for W.A.S.P. Singer Ryan Cook has filled in for Skid Row guitarist SNAKE SABO on tours in 2007 and 2008. Though still unconfirmed, it is rumored that Cook and Sepetys are re-uniting to make an appearance at the Rocklahoma Festival in July of 2008. The condition of Sepetys's hand remains the biggest obstacle.
