The Spindrift Saga
The Spindrift Saga are a hard-hitting alternative/indie trio searching for inspiration tucked away in a desolate corner of a local beach break. The Spindrift Saga is chuffed to be likened to the masters of the 90’s alternative scene (such as the Incubus, Chilli Peppers, Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, and The Stone Temple Pilots). Check out their hit "Marvin".

Laura Hill
Laura Hill is a singer-songwriter in the great traditions of the craft: fearless, inventive, evocative and honest. A voice that has to be heard to be believed: with range, depth and searing emotion. Her soulful blend of folk/blues is delivered heart-on-sleeve, tempered with a gentle wit, laughter and a thousand tiny insights. Enjoy!

Rose Zita Falko
Rose Zita Falko's songs have been described as ‘western noir’ - a blend of whisky-smooth Americana and sophisticated jazz and soul tones. Rose's EP "Original Son", released in June 2018, is superb listening - reminding us of Belgian super-group 'Vaya Con Dios'.

MC - Miss K
A very nervous welcome to Miss K - our Mistress of Ceremonies for FOKI 2019. Miss K is brash, sexy, controversial and, dare we say it, slightly insane. Listing her interests as "Men, Alcohol, Fans ..." we think the less said the better! Dangerously armed with a guitar, microphone and razor wit we have no idea where this runaway trainwreck will end. Fingers crossed and hold on tight everyone!
