Line Up
Bitman

Bitman is the brainchild of Paul Batchelor. After 20 years of making and performing electronic music it was time to create something purely fun and visually exciting. The music incorporates many genres and yet isn't tied to one. 8bit sounds and pop culture references as well as often overlooked observations from the world permeate each track making each piece of music unique. A hyperactive stage show that is an audio/visual assault to the senses.
Bitman has a new album and a single, both available on streaming sites.

The Hanging Bandits are a folk rock four-piece from Hertfordshire. Doing pretty much everything in house, with the support of our extended network of filmmakers, designers and talented friends. Our influences include musicians like Bob Dylan, Father John Misty, Lankum and The Jam, although a lot of what we do is inspired by Hip Hop and the writing we love. We have developed a style which combines folk with aspects of grunge and brit-pop and emphasises lyricism, usually focused around working class life and themes of friendship or society.
