Based in Leeds, Welsh-born Neve Cariad is one of Far Out Magazine's "10 Most Exciting Artists in Leeds Right Now" (Dec 2024). Having released her debut EP, Neve, in July 2023, Cariad has gone from strength to strength in both the studio and live performances. 2024 saw Neve performing regularly in Leeds and London, with notable shows at the Brudenell Social Club and MildMay Club with her five-piece band, performing a unique blend of indie-folk and art-rock.

2025 is set to be a pivotal year, with an imminent (unannounced) headline show at London's Shacklewell Arms in June, supports with Clara Mann (Manchester) and Brown Horse (Leeds), and her debut album being set for release in Autumn on Esco Romanesco Records. As a successful artist in the Deer Shed/EMI North Apply To Play it's great to have Neve part of the line up this year.
