PRS Foundation’s Momentum Music Fund presents a showcase of exciting experimental artists following a panel event at Trinity Centre Bristol.

Ten Fé
London-based Ten Fé, a five-piece consisting of songwriting duo Ben Moorhouse and Leo Duncan, with school mates Rob on bass, Johnny on keys and Alex on drums, have just released their debut album ‘Hit The Light’ to critical acclaim and returned from a rapturous European and US tour.

The band are known for a captivatingly eclectic set of songs, fusing a mix of Americana, Madchester baggy and soulful vocals with an intricate contemporary electronic underscore. Their Ewan Pearson-produced LP, recorded in Berlin, was lauded by NME, Line of Best Fit, Clash, Noisey, Consequence of Sound, and given 4-stars from The Guardian. Rolling Stone said their brand of “dark pop-electronica and organic Americana” was “exciting, expansive and heavily impassioned”.

They received the PRS Momentum Award in June 2016 and BPI Music Export Grant in February 2017, which helped the band to release their album on their own label through a distribution relationship with [PIAS] and tour abroad extensively. ‘Hit The Light’ was released in February 2017 and has been streamed over 20 million times, and appeared in Spotify’s most followed playlists. They have just returned from headlining the new bands stage at Austin City Limits where they played to a packed-out field of ardent fans. The band are currently recording their second album with new music coming out very soon!

Meadowlark
Delicate, emotional, yet powerful songs, delivered beautifully from the minds of two incredible songwriters. Meadowlark are nothing short of outstanding. Spine tingling live performances, not to be missed!

Meadowlarks debut single ‘Eyes Wide’ in 2015 was added to BBC Radio 1’s Introducing playlist, XFM’s evening playlist and featured on Hype Machine’s Top 20. This lead to sessions on Dermot O’Leary’s BBC Radio 2 show, playing Glastonbury’s Introducing stage, as well as the Great Escape, MAMA festival in Paris, Dot to Dot (to name but a few!) This song also appeared on episodes of Vampire Diaries and Made in Chelsea.

In 2016 Meadowlark were embraced into the UK touring circuit to support the release of their 2nd EP ‘Paraffin’, and then later with their incredibly well received most recent single ‘Headlights’. Alongside this the band had another successful festival season which we are excited to build upon in 2017. Their summer Bushstock performance received a glowing review from Popped Music who said “their vocals never ever miss a note and you could hear a pin drop”.
