Line Up

Beyond Babylon are an original 4 piece rock band based in London, fusing elements of rock n roll, blues, pop, classic rock, punk and new wave.

Following a successful show in February they are returning to the Half Moon. Expect a lively entertaining set!

The Bluepers are a rock originals band from the suburbs of Reading. Born out of a college music course, they combine catchy pop songwriting, bluesy rock licks, and a sense of humour that’s hard to miss once you’ve heard their song about a bunch of Toy Story characters. They’ve garnered acclaim in Berkshire’s local music scene, winning a 2023 Battle of the Bands competition against some of the area’s best new acts.

Marta Per is a London-based, Portuguese-born artist and multi-instrumentalist. Her lyrics, usually reflective, observational and filled with self-deprecating humour, take us through the motions of navigating emotions and trying to make sense of life. Drawing inspiration from pop, rock and jazz, Marta has released her debut EP Fragments & Fingerprints, a bold debut EP that showcases the artist's unique voice as a songwriter.

Marta started studying music at age 6, moving to London in 2017 to pursue a Songwriting degree and a Masters in Composition for Film. The artist is no stranger to the London stages, pouring her passion and captivating energy into every single performance. Marta performed at the Jazz Cafe in November 2022, as the opening act for Portuguese Idol winner and hit singer Diogo Piçarra.

Matt Kent is known for his sophisticated sound that blends R&B, Classical and Pop.

Kent quickly gained a following on Tik Tok, with his unique series titled “Turning Classical Music into Pop Songs”.

After placing in the international songwriting competition “Coffee Music Project” in 2019, Matt Kent caught the attention of established music producer Dante Lattanzi who signed Kent to his management company.

Matt Ginno is an English singer-songwriter and musician, residing in London.

Features on BBC Introducing, including BBC Sussex & Surrey’s Track of the Day, are bringing more people to the songwriter’s music in their numbers; they continue to write his story.
