Headliner:
JOSH APOLLO MAGUIRE Performing as a trio, Josh “Apollo” Maguire is an independent musician from Ayrshire, near Glasgow, Scotland. With a background in musical theatre and as a former member of the boyband ‘Rebel’ (who split in 2022), he has since established himself as a dynamic solo artist. Maguire has released his own music, including the EP Covers To JAM To, featuring punk rock renditions of popular songs. Active on social media, he regularly shares creative insights and updates on his musical journey. He is currently working towards his debut album, scheduled for release in 2026. Featuring live performances from:
THE HUNGER “The Hunger Duo is a Glasgow-based acoustic songwriting pair known for delivering heartfelt original music with authenticity and charm. They have performed at notable venues, including the iconic King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, where they were featured as the “fantastic acoustic songwriting duo” for a Newborn Sessions event.”
TYLER MILLER “Tyler Miller is an emerging Scottish singer-songwriter celebrated for his raw lyrical honesty and captivating live presence. Blending indie melodies with narrative depth, his music explores the restless energy of youth, the quiet pull of small-town life, and the determination to chase something greater. Performing entirely solo, Tyler delivers heartfelt vocals with stripped-back authenticity, creating an instant connection with audiences. With recent radio features and growing local support, he is fast becoming a standout voice in the new wave of Scottish indie music — one song, one stage, one story at a time.”
DARA “Dara is an exceptional young talent who has already made a name for herself on the Glasgow music scene. Despite her age, she has earned veteran status through standout performances at iconic venues such as King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Broadcast, and The Classic Grand as part of Newborn Sessions. A gifted vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Dara also has a strong background in musical theatre and has released original music across all major streaming platforms “
LUCI – JANE “Luci-Jane is a gifted young vocalist who has performed with Newborn Sessions at renowned venues across Glasgow, including the iconic King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.”
Running order will be decided on the night.
