Three of the most exciting and innovative artists that the south west has to offer – Holysseus Fly, Nat Oaks and Waldo’s Gift take to the stage in the intimate setting of Lantern Hall.
This is an opportunity to experience an eclectic variety of new music performed live by some of the region’s most ground-breaking acts, covering everything from ethereal alt-pop, soulful hip-hop and experimental and angular jazz.

Holysseus Fly
Utilising a distinct blend of alt pop and electronica, Holysseus Fly has been unapologetically embracing her popstar dreams on her own terms – now an established, bold performer delivering soaring pop hooks imbued with emotional intimacy.
Described by The Guardian as ‘one to watch’ – the years following her debut EP ‘Birthpool’ have seen her open for Nick Mulvey on a sold-out UK tour, perform at Glastonbury and Forwards Festival and recently, take part in our new Resident Artists programme as she looks ahead to the release of her next EP.
Nat Oaks
At just 23, Nat Oaks is quickly becoming an undeniable and formidable presence within the alternative hip-hop scene – delivering a magnetic fusion of re-imagined hip-hop, razor-sharp lyricism and infectious grooves.
Now based in London, we first crossed paths with Nat after she took part in our talent development programme NEXT LEVEL. Since then, she has been nominated for the 2024 Youth Music Rising Star Award, performed at Boomtown, Reading Festival and Love Saves The Day, and supported the likes of Jelani Blackman and Ivors Award-winner Master Peace.
Waldo’s Gift
Waldo’s Gift are an electrifying new force in the new wave of UK experimental music. Renowned for their intense, heavily improvised sets that pull from everything from jazz and math-rock to intense, Aphex Twin inspired electronica and have granted the Bristol trio a cult-following.
Following a string of early releases lauded by tastemakers across BBC 6Music and BBC Radio 1, festival appearances at Glastonbury, We Out Here and Copenhagen Jazz Festival, as well as the release of their debut LP Malcolm’s Law, the band recently joined forces with us to take part in our Resident Artist programme.
