AURORA YOUNG [link]

Born in to a talented family, Aurora J Young was brought up in an eclectic environment - learning to appreciate a variety of styles and artists... Music has been the foundations of her family; her four brothers built a studio in the family home over 10 years before making a break and winning the funding to open up their very own family business 'Northgate Studios'..... Aurora like her siblings, taught herself herself to perform and write music. From the age of 12 she listened to and studied the likes of Skin, Sam Brown and Lauryn Hill... Being painfully shy, Sarah only sang in front of her brothers for the 1st time at the age of 17 - and then another 4 years to record the first song she had ever written 'One Last Night' in May 2005... Over the next 2 years Aurora worked with up and coming Indie band 'The Keyz' - gaining the confidence and experience to finally go it alone in 2008. During her time with The Keyz she performed at The Cavern - Liverpool, The Half Moon - Putney, The Clapham Grand - London and recorded 'Jack' winner of 'Slice The Pie's' prestigous £15,000 prize. In August 2007 Aurora worked as a session singer for Grammy Award winning producer Kenny Young - a huge confidence boost... Since 2007, the main goal Aurora has been striving for is finding her niche - developing her voice and writing style in to something that is both heartfelt and true - as well as being marketable... Aurora changed her name from 'Sarah' in 2009 - as the name 'Sarah Young' was associated with a seedier side of the entertainment industry and decided Aurora was more fitting to her overall sound and image.

THE 18 CARAT LOVE AFFAIR [link]

The 18 Carat Love Affair are, according to Time Out, "Bouncy and oh so slightly music hall-toned electro popsters" playing "vaudeville-drama folk". They believe this to be a fair assessment.

Comprising of - amongst others - former 586 singing songwriter Steven Horry and Subliminal Girl Jim Rhesus, the band formed in late 2008 after a protracted argument as to who the best member of Girls Aloud is.

They recorded their first demo in January 2009, the lead track of which was quickly played by John Kennedy on XFM's X-Posure and made it's way on to DJ playlists as far afield as Budapest.
