Jonny And The Baptists

Comedy band Jonny & the Baptists make riotous music, brimming with biting satire and anthemic hilarity. Nominated for the Amused Moose Laughter Awards, the 2013 New Act of the Year Awards and the Musical Comedy Awards, they have made many TV and radio appearances including The Now Show (BBC Radio 4), The Infinite Monkey Cage (BBC Radio 4), The Gadget Show (Channel 5) and Sketchorama (BBC Radio 4).

Grace Petrie

Grace Petrie is a songwriter, activist and performer from Leicester, UK. She first exploded on to the national protest scene in 2010 with the emotive anthem Farewell to Welfare, which captured perfectly the spirit of the new wave of dissent in austerity Britain. Since then she has quietly become one of the most prolific and respected songwriters working in the UK today.

Love Is My Rebellion (2013) charted the journey beyond protest singer, through mid-term political cynicism and personal change to emerge through shades of folk, Americana and country as a more mature songwriting voice. The result is a collection of songs that provide a soundtrack to the modern struggle, with faith and with love, that will resonate with listeners everywhere.

Grace’s young career boasts three studio albums, a dedicated fan base and national tours supporting Emmy the Great, Billy Bragg and comedians Robin Ince and Josie Long, as well as a string of festival appearances including regular visits to Latitude and Glastonbury. She is a frequent guest on BBC Radio 4’s the Now Show and has appeared on Channel 4’s Random Acts. She has been featured in The Guardian, Diva Magazine and named “one to watch” in the Independent on Sunday’s 2013 Pink List of influential LGBT figures.
