 righton\, known for their contagious blend of indie-pop meets funk\, r&b a
 nd soul\, Luan Luan isn’t following any rulebook. Energetic and fuelled 
 with charm\, you can feel this songwriter’s stunning presence from the g
 et-go. Luan Luan has a story to tell as a young immigrant with a very dive
 rse musical background and living experiences in the UK. They write music 
 as a way of reaching a deeper understanding of personal experiences\, and 
 perceptions of the world that surround us\, through a synaesthetic lens. T
 hey have the power to bring the audience inside their vibrant and rhythmic
  style of playing: their finger-style guitar work adds a very rhythmic edg
 e to their writing\, beautifully underpinning their catchy melodies\, and 
 an unexpected saxophone reflects another deep level of their expressive so
 ngwriting.JON SHARPSJon Sharps is a finger-style guitar player who combine
 s intricate fingerpicking with rich songwriting. He is influenced by the g
 reat folk and blues artists of the 20th century and writes original songs 
 that sound timeless and authentic. He is fascinated with crafting lyrics a
 nd skilfully uses metaphor and imagery to tell his stories. Based in Hamps
 hire Jon plays in a band called ‘The Washed Out Parade’ who have just 
 recorded their debut album\, due for release in 6th April.KOLLAB FEEDBACK"
