Blanco White is London musician Josh Edwards. Influenced by Spanish and Latin American travel, he studied flamenco guitar in Cádiz and learned charango in Bolivia. Known for a reverb-heavy, mantric sound. Albums include On the Other Side (2020) and Tarifa (2023).

Beth Gibbons, born in Exeter, England, is known for her emotive vocals with Portishead, a pioneering trip-hop band. Her voice recalls legends like Nina Simone. Her notable works include "Dummy," "Sour Times," and collaborations like "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs." She has worked with artists like Kendrick Lamar and Jane Birkin. Portishead's "Dummy" won the 1995 Mercury Prize, and their album "Third" hit gold in the UK. Gibbons' solo work includes "Out of Season" with Rustin Man and 2023's "Lives Outgrown."
