OMAR
4th June 2027

Omar Lyefook MBE is without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years.

If anyone has doubts about that, then they might want to consider the list of legendary artists who happily line up to collaborate with him musically, or simply sing his praises – from Stevie Wonder, the late Leon Ware, Erykah Badu, Common, through to Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, and Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler, Angie Stone and U.K. artists Courtney Pine, Rodney P, Kele LeRoc, Natasha Watts and Estelle, all appreciate his truly original and unique voice, musicianship and songwriting talent.

First gaining international attention via that signature hit, There’s Nothing Like This, Omar launched his series of standout solo albums, the latest of which Brighter The Days was released to great acclaim in late 2025, with a remixed album being released in June 2026.

” When I grow up I wanna be Omar” Stevie Wonder

“One of the best voices I’ve ever heard” Erykah Badu

“Do drop off a copy of your new album when it’s finished” King Charles

“His importance as an artist within soul music cannot be understated” BBC

Connor Selby
11th April 2027

“Rising British blues and soul sensation Connor Selby continues his ascent as one of the most compelling voices of his generation. Known for his emotive delivery and timeless sound, Selby stands alongside a new wave of authentic, roots-driven artists redefining modern blues.

In 2024, Selby joined an all-star lineup on Mark Knopfler’s charity single, “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero),” performing alongside Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Slash, Pete Townshend, Brian May, and other global icons — a testament to his rapidly growing reputation.

Selby has already graced some of the world’s most iconic stages. He performed with The Who at Wembley Stadium, appeared at Hyde Park Festival alongside Pearl Jam and Stereophonics, and toured with Beth Hart, including a show at the legendary London Palladium. Additional collaborations include appearances with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Cray, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Betty LaVette, P.P. Arnold.

His self-titled debut album on Provogue Records earned critical acclaim, being named MOJO Magazine’s 2023 Blues Album of the Year, surpassing 2 million streams, and receiving airplay on BBC Radio 2’s Cerys Matthews alongside praise from Classic Rock, Guitarist, and leading blues publications. A decorated talent, Selby has been voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for three consecutive years (2020–2022) and took home the “Traditional Blues Artist of the Year” honour in 2025 and again in 2026.

His most recent album, “The Truth Comes out Eventually” was released in August 2025 to critical acclaim.”

Oysterband’s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott – 10th March 2027

John Jones is best known as the powerful and charismatic singer with Oysterband, veterans of the folk and roots scene since the 1980s. They started as The Whitstable Oyster Company Ceilidh Band, one of the best ceilidh bands in the business, which then evolved into the

folk/punk/rock group Oysterband, releasing over 20 albums and playing every major festival in the UK, Europe and Canada. They recorded and toured with some of the UK’s most revered folk artists, including acclaimed tours and two award-winning albums with singer June Tabor.

John’s solo work developed alongside his Oysterband duties. In 2009, he released his first solo album, Rising Road, and began walking between gigs with musicians and fans in a group he called The Reluctant Ramblers. In ten years, the Reluctant Ramblers walked over 1000 miles between shows and John released his second album, Never Stop Moving, in 2015.

Now, with Oysterband saying farewell to their armies of faithful fans across the UK and Europe with their hugely successful The Long Goodbye tour, John is about to embark on his next chapter, enlisting the help of his two long-standing friends and fellow musicians: Ray Cooper a.k.a. Chopper and Al Scott. Ray joined Oysterband in 1990 and brought in the cello sound alongside his bass and backing vocals before leaving in 2013 to go solo. Al has been associated with Oysterband for over 30 years as producer and stand-in guitarist. Al joined the band in 2013.

Between them, the trio play a variety of instruments and will be performing a range of songs and tunes from over the years, from each of their back catalogues, alongside new songs and traditional numbers.

The Song Goes On Tour launches across the UK in Spring 2026, with further dates planned at summer festivals and in winter 2026, and with European shows in the pipeline as well. So whilst one chapter may be coming to an end, another is just beginning: The Song Goes On!
