Hangover Hill and Lighthouse present three more highly rated acts as they have a rare opportunity to experience a larger stage in our monthly unsigned music night.
AK & The Red Kites
This is a modern rock band with a retro infused vibe bearing big ris, foot-stomping grooves and vast melodic soundscapes. The cornerstone of this new exciting venture is frontman/guitarist Andrew Knightley, rising from the ashes of his previous band blues rockers Trident Waters. Having eloped to the Chiltern Hills UK during the global pandemic, Andrew began writing songs that would shape the project to come. He muses, “I wrote most of my new music looking out the window onto the woods and the Red Kites are always circling overhead. I felt a connection, that they were part of my inspiration. I’ve put a lot of who I am and where I’ve been into the songs and have laid it all on the table and I wanted to honour that sense of freedom and protection that they have provided me with. AK & The Red Kites is a direct reference to my creative process and where I am now as a person.”
The Whitley Lake Band
Born from jams on the sands of Whitley Lake, Sandbanks, The Whitley Lake Band crafts an eclectic mix of songs. Expect singalong choruses layered over thumping beats, hooky riffs giving way to expansive jams and dynamic breakdowns – all drawing from a wide range of genres.
Nia Nicholls
Awarded Best Solo Artist and Best Songwriter by the OMA’s in Dorset, Nia’s got a reputation that’s as strong as her voice. Her hit track “Exes” was named Track of 2023 by BBC Introducing, and she’s been rockin’ the airwaves on BBC Kent and BBC
Wales. This lady’s got Nashville in her blood, having recorded most of her songs in Music City, but she’s been making waves all over the map! In 2024, she became the first British artist ever invited to perform at the In A Jam Down By The River festival
in Texas! And if that’s not enough to get you excited, country star Dylan Scott has her on his radar, calling her “one to watch,” while legendary American songwriter Dean Friedman has had her open for him on his UK tours the past two years.
