The Feeling


The Feeling

The Feeling are five twentysomethings from Sussex and London who love pop music. Great, big, no-nonsense, hook-filled, giant-chorused pop music – music for the masses, only intelligent, with sunshine hooks and killer choruses that everyone can hum, from plumbers to professors.

Will Young

Will Young has an enviable career in music, with over 7 Million record sales, 2 Brit Awards and a 4th album due for release in the Autumn of 2008. Will said: “I’ve always loved the idea of doing festivals. I love going to them as a punter anyway, but I’ve always wanted to play one of the smaller stages just to feel the atmosphere from the crowd’.

Sugababes

Sugababes need little introduction. The UK’s most successful girl group have sold over 2 million singles, hitting the top spot in the UK no less than 6 times. They’ve sold more than five million albums (including 3 triple-platinum discs in the UK), have amassed more Top 10 singles than the Spice Girls, All Saints, Destiny’s Child or Bananarama and in the last year alone have peformed to over 1 million fans.

Goldfrapp

Sex, subversion, style, humour, songs: great pop music's greatest components. And Goldfrapp have always known it. Through pioneering electronics, crystalline vocals, visual theatrics and glam-sex decadence, they've moved through the ambient shadows into the technicolour thrill that is the hallmark of classic British pop music.

Tom Baxter

When you multiply the power of Tom Baxter’s writing by the intensity of his performances, strange things happen. One night last summer, he was playing a gig in Ireland when a girl was so moved, she proposed to him. Real songwriting will always make its presence felt, and that’s why it’s time for Tom Baxter to reach the massive audience he deserves.

Imelda May

Dublin-born Imelda May has the rare kind of raw talent and timeless glamour that truly illuminates the stage. You don’t just watch Imelda perform, you experience it. Whether it’s her infectiously unique fusion of rockabilly, blues and jazz, her extensive self-penned repertoire, her sassy burlesque-inspired performances or her distinctive interpretation of classic standards, her appeal is both seductive and undeniable.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been in the changing rooms of pop more than most. One of the genre’s great shape shifters, she morphed from sharp suited indie princess in the audience to Ibiza invigorator with Groovejet before becoming where she remains and feels most at home - a fully fledged dance floor divinity.

The Kooks

The Kooks are back. 2006's 'Inside In/Inside Out' was a huge hit, selling some 2 million copies worldwide. Following this success, the Brighton quartet quickly rang up sell-out shows all over the world, earning a support slot with The Rolling Stones along the way and establishing themselves as A Great British Band. Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris of the Kooks will be playing an intimate acoustic set at the House Festival.

Cass Lowe

Cass is a 21 year old singer songwriter from south London. He has recently toured with Newton Faulkner, Amy MacDonald and One Night Only, and is currently in the studio working on his debut album which is due for release later this year.
