Echo Wave Sessions: Live For Charity

Lineup:

• Caroline Trettine

• Handsome Waitress

• Zak Stichcombe

• Darcy Harding

Caroline Trettine - Caroline Trettine, a former singer-writer with The Blue Aeroplanes, achieved cult success with her record ‘Be a Devil’ in the 1990s, on Billy Bragg’s ‘Utility’ label, managed by the legendary Pete Jenner. She has since had an eclectic journey through music e.g. songs, beats, strings, musicals, rock, folk and poetry. Compared to Sandy Denny when she was young, she has acquired the smoky edges of Lotte Lenya, a grown-up artist, performing authentic unplugged folk-cabaret. Writing for orchestras, synths, indie bands, fusion etc. makes her composing styles varied, drawing from her capacious musical imagination…

Zak Stinchcombe - brings together a love of English folk and American rock and roll in his melodic guitar playing and his rich lyric writing to produce songs entirely of his own voice. He has played prolifically across the circuit and has released 3 EPs. Following a brief hiatus after the birth of his daughter, he is currently writing his debut album for her. 

Handsome Waitress - London-based alternative band and purveyors of fresh denim. Inspired their eclectic mix from soul and blues to post-punk. Handsome Waitress formed in 2023, and have been performing across London ever since. Their debut EP 'Smoke Signals from the Kitchen' featured songs they wrote in their formative period. They are set to release their second EP “Denim” - six folk and gospel tinged indie pop songs, inspired by the rural Welsh coastal town of Borth, and converted chapel turned studio, where they were recorded. Lyrically introspective and heartfelt, detailing lead singer Daisi Jayne’s experience with depression, anxiety and search for purpose as a woman in her twenties navigating work, relationships, and life in London.

Darcy Harding - is an independent London based singer/songwriter, blending folk and alternative indie. Darcy’s sound can be likened to artists such as Big Thief, Boy Genius and Alex G. Her debut EP, Ode to a Dreamcatcher gained support from BBC Introducing, marking her as an emerging artist to watch. A growing presence on London’s live music circuit, with a series of new singles planned for release throughout 2026, Darcy continues to build momentum as she expands her audience both on record and on stage.
