2) A Liverpool, UK band.

4) A Toronto, Canada producer / composer.

1) A pseudonym of Kitayama Yuki (北山有紀, b. 9 Dec 1975, in Japan), one of Japan's biggest names in jazz. Her fusion of jazz, R&B, bossa nova, swing and house has won her a fan-base all on her own. She began doing folk-type music in 2002, but after almost a year of hiatus, her single Warabigami was released. This time Bird went for a reggae feel. With her latest single Sparkles, she has gone back to her jazz roots but has mixed in disco as well. In July 1999, her debut album was released and sold 700,000 copies. Bird was given the Japan Gold Record for newcomers. In October, her first national concert Bird Tour 1999 Live! was sold out. In June 2006 she teamed up with Kama Aina, RT, and Moose Hill to form the unit Tori (Japanese for "bird").

2) A five piece Liverpool, UK atmospheric folk band which combines haunting / poetic lyrics, with melodic and eerie / sweeping guitar riffs. Members include: Adele Emmas (vocals), Christian Sandford (synth, keyboards), Alexis Samata (drums) and Sian Williams (guitar). Their début EP was Shadows (Aug 2012, Jack To Phono) and their latest album is My Fear and Me (May 2014, Jack To Phono).
Other releases include: EP Ophelia (Feb 2013, Jack To Phono), produced by composer / guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones (ex-The Coral).
With a dynamic mixture of power and fragility, they combine hypnotic, tribal drum beats, atmospheric guitars and dreamlike synth-scapes to create the foundation for Emmas' siren-esque vocals and poetry. After continually touring the UK, Bird have gained a large loyal following and garnered praise from: BBC 6music, BBC Radio 1, 2 and 3. They have been invited to play sessions for Bella Union-head Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins) and BBC Radio Merseyside. The Guardian, Q magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Metro, Nylon, NME and Channel 4 have all featured the band. Recent airplay of Led Zeppelin-cover "The Rain Song" (from My Fear and Me), has brought praise from DJs including Lauren Laverne and Janice Long, leading to them opening the inaugural 6 Music Festival 2014's main stage.
