The Tootsie Rollers
Inspired by the music of the 1940's, The Tootsie Rollers consists of 6 leggy lovelies who entertain the troops with their toe tappin' dancing and scintillating harmonies to the fascinatin' rhythms of jazz and musical theatre gems.
Recent events include Koko, Madame Jojos, an event for Volvo at The Brickhouse and Punk! in Soho.
The Chancellors of Vice
The Chancellors of Vice are a funky five-piece soul band who emerged onto Cambridge's music scene two years ago - and have been unstoppable ever since. The Chancellors owe their roots as a band to the well known Cambridge Jazz/Funk Jam which has seen the birth and death of many a project. House band regulars Tom and Rob were blown away when an apparently shy young lady asked to "sing a few songs", bringing the venue to a virtual stand-still with her rich, sincere and soulful vocals.
The boys swiftly recruited Anne and built a firm basis for the band using the cream of local talent to back her. The band now includes Claudia McKenzie (band competition winner and bass player of too many bands to mention here) and Marcel Kunkel (keys player, writer, producer and sound engineer) whose breadth of experience keeps the band sounding as good as it does.
The Swings
The Swings serve a perfect lunchtime munch…
Their recipe of up-beat melodies, catchy lyrics and dreamy harmonies (not to mention the irresistible blend of guitars, drums & cow-bell) create a highly unique yet strangely familiar sound that must not be missed.
Portlan
PORTLAN……. are the coolest, most prolific dancers you have ever seen on the pop circuit.
Who Are They?
Ally, T, Mani and Isha all hail from the unassuming and round about ridden town of Milton Keynes. They found singer, Sasha; who brings a certain charm and cheek to the group, in the heart of Essex.
You may recognise the MK crew from one of the most popular TV shows of the decade, Britain’s Got Talent. With over ten million regular viewers, the guys established themselves as the street dance entity, Nemisis. Praise for the crew was unanimous; Simon Cowell’s normal scepticism resulted in an unusually strong compliment, he simply said they were ‘Brilliant’. Amanda Holden was quick to follow this up with ‘these kids have really got it going on’ & Piers Morgan simply called their performance ‘Wicked’. Two years later & Nemisis have morphed their amazing street moves with sexy vocals and hi energy raps into the hotly tipped, pop outfit, PORTLAN.
This is something different. Something unique and quirky, exactly what the music industry needs right now. High energy street dance, combined with polished, strong pop songs. Their live shows are a spectacle not to be missed. Portlan have arrived.

Secret Circuits
Secret Circuits were formed early Autumn 2009 after the breakup of local band Mercia Drift. After achieving mild success in Leeds bands This Et Al and Jack Afro, singer/bassist Gavin, along with Jack, Vikki and John, blended Trance with Indie and epic rock to create a sound which is both unique and memorable. Their brand of catchy synth pop appeals not just to indie rock crowds but also crosses over to the club/rave circuit. Describing themselves as 'A three-way deathmatch between The Music, Biffy Clyro and The Pet Shop Boys', they are set to begin their assault on the UK music scene with a debut release on Artificial Bliss Records in 2010, along with extensive live shows and more recorded output on the agenda.
