Paul Bushnell
Irish born, Californian.based, session bass player, producer, and music director. Even though he was classically trained at University College Dublin, and appears for a wide variety of artists, he has a preference for playing rock-style bass. Bushnell played the ‘live’ circuit in Ireland before he got his ‘big break’ through appearing in, and scoring for, the film ‘The Commitments’. However, this did not instantly lead to his studio career taking off, that came some years later after his move to Los Angeles.
Among those for whom he has worked, are: Phil Collins, Elton John, Alanis Morissette, Nelly Furtado, and Céline Dion. Since 2002, he has been the bass player and music director for Faith Hill.

Nick Howe
Nick Howe’s debut Indie Pop release The Struggle Is Real charted at number 2 in the singer/ songwriter charts and has just come off a UK tour with Timeout.
To date, Nick Howe has toured over 15 countries, received mainstream syncs and has appeared on national television. His new EP The Struggle is Real showcases that Nick’s music is reminiscent of both 1975 and Jason Mraz.
One of the tracks, ‘It’s Only Love’ has been used for the new Angry Bird game. Not only that, his first single off the EP, Riches In Heaven, is featured in a recent Comi-con documentary.
This refreshing artist shows the same determination in all walks of life. Having performed at international festivals (such as Glastonbury), acted in the ITV series Lewis and even improvised a song for a Cadbury’s Campaign.
The Londoner has also been active in campaigning to support creativity and freedom of expression, by appearing on ITV news supporting the Keep Streets Live Campaign. In addition to this he also supported The Long Live Southbank campaign to help save the Southbank, proving to Nick The Struggle Is Not Real.
He has a world tour lined up this year – travelling to Australia, US and many other countries along the way.

Seymonster
Seymonster is a guitar player, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He has been known to play swampy blues, psychedelic rock & roll, alt country, electro funk, and he loves more styles of music than you could poke a stick at.
Lately he has been making Lo-fi beats and writing lyrics as an ironic and slightly bemused response to the world around us.
He uses an old cassette 4-track to write and record a unique blend of styles, and he has been working on his debut album for about 5 years now. Hopefully one day soon he will finish it so we can have a glimpse inside the mind of this unusual monster from the deep…
