Their debut album, ‘Man Alive’, released in 2011, went on to win the coveted South Bank Times Breakthrough Award while the bands song writing skills were recognised with nominations at the Ivor Novello’s and Mercury Music Prize in the same year.

A – The electro pop duo Avec Sans is made up of the beautiful Alice Fox and the mysterious Jack St James, who started their journey into the world of syth based beats in 2012. Hailing from London, the stylish pair have already started to infiltrate the fashion world, with Dolce and Gabbana’s Swide Magazine giving them the No. 1 position on their list of best new artists.
