About Frances Mistry

Soft but sure, Frances Mistry is quietly carving a space for herself in the indie-folk world. Inspired by the gentle honesty of artists like Clairo, Faye Webster, and Beabadoobee, her songs feel personal yet familiar - little moments wrapped in melody.

The Brighton-based newcomer has been lauded by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders as a “proper, authentic artist”, chosen as Spotify’s Fresh Finds Artist of the Month of May, and played the BBC Introducing stage at The Great Escape 2025. She's opened for the likes of Paris Paloma, Of Monsters And Men and Alfie Templeman, and with much more to come, she’s a name to keep an ear out for. Catch her intimate show at The Clay Pit with Girl In The Year Above.

About Tommy Rodger

Tommy Rodger is the modern storyteller. just a pocket, a melody and a perspective. He writes to be honest, even when he lies.
