Say hello to Philippa Hanna, bringing serious energy to the Surfstage Festival.
She’s not your typical singer-songwriter. Philippa blends raw vocals, big hooks, and honest lyrics into a sound that hits somewhere between pop, soul, and stripped-back acoustic. One minute it’s chilled and reflective, the next it’s full-on, hands-in-the-air kind of moments.
She’s toured all over the world, built a huge following, and racked up millions of streams but what really sets her apart is how real it all feels.
Meet Moses Brothers — a duo built on years of making music side by side.
Growing up writing, playing, and figuring it all out together, their sound comes from a shared history that you can actually feel when they perform. Tight, natural, and full of chemistry.
At the centre of it all is their faith — with a clear focus on Jesus and a belief that everything good flows from Him. It’s not forced, it’s just part of who they are — and it shows up in the energy, the joy, and the way they play together.
Expect unity, honesty, and a sound that feels both grounded and alive.
Meet Evie Loose — a London-based singer-songwriter bringing a quiet intensity to Surfstage.
Her sound sits in that soft, stripped-back space where lyrics do the work — honest, understated, and hard to ignore.
Her writing leans into the in-between: relationships, identity, and the moments that don’t quite resolve. Nothing overproduced, nothing forced — just clear, reflective songwriting with real weight behind it.
Her latest release, Threadbare, explores that push and pull between vulnerability and distance.
If you’re into music that feels subtle, raw, and emotionally precise, Evie Loose is one to catch.
Meet Fieldlily — a sister duo creating something soft, honest, and quietly powerful.
Their sound is built on effortless harmonies, gentle rhythms, and lyrics that don’t try too hard — they just land. It’s the kind of music that feels natural, like it’s grown rather than written.
There’s a calm to what they do. Songs that slow things down, carry a sense of rest, and hold onto a quiet kind of hope without overcomplicating it.
Blending emotion with a subtle, almost nature-like atmosphere, Fieldlily create space to pause, breathe, and actually feel the music.
Meet One Hope Project — a UK-based worship collective bringing energy, creativity, and a strong sense of purpose.
Emerging from the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, they’re part of a new wave of artists reimagining what worship can look and sound like in the Church today — rooted in tradition, but pushing forward with fresh expression.
Their music blends congregational anthems with more intimate, reflective moments, creating space for both personal connection and full-on, collective worship. From chart-topping releases like Let It Sound to more recent projects, they’ve built a sound that’s both accessible and deeply intentional.
But it’s bigger than just music. Through initiatives like their OHP Academy, they’re actively raising up a new generation of worship leaders, investing into creativity, community, and the wider Church across the UK and beyond.
Expect a set that’s vibrant, unified, and built to bring people together — the kind of worship that feels alive, current, and grounded in something real.
Meet Emily Darby — songwriter and worship leader bringing something honest, fresh, and deeply rooted to Surfstage.
Her debut album Making Me Whole captures a journey through healing, restoration, and finding solid ground again — moving from struggle into a place of freedom, acceptance, and clarity in God.
She’s been writing songs for the church since her early teens, and that depth shows. These aren’t surface-level lyrics — they come from lived experience, shaped over time and across different seasons.
Musically, it moves between stripped-back piano moments and fuller, contemporary pop-influenced production, with producer PKYB helping bring her instinct for melody to life.
At its core, this is worship that feels personal — rooted in quiet, unseen moments with God, but carrying a message that reaches outward. There’s a clear thread of hope running through it all — the kind that speaks to healing, freedom, and something real beyond the surface.
Meet Meet Samuel Jackson-Reed — a Nottingham-based singer-songwriter and poet bringing something a little deeper to Surfstage.
His sound leans into stripped-back, thoughtful songwriting — the kind that cuts through the noise and makes you actually listen. Drawing from a long tradition of storytelling (think psalms to modern folk), his music explores real life in all its layers: the highs, the losses, the questions, and everything in between.
Honest lyrics, atmosphere, and a perspective that finds beauty in the everyday. His latest EP Valley Floor is all about that tension — learning to embrace the life you’ve actually got, with all its weight, disappointment, and those small, quiet moments of joy.
Meet GLASBY — coming out of Middlesbrough, UK, with a sound that hits somewhere between alternative, pop rock, and something more reflective.
His music digs into the big stuff — the tension between struggle and wonder, searching for meaning, and finding hope with God at the centre of it all. It’s honest, unfiltered, and doesn’t try to gloss over the hard parts.
Live, he builds everything in real time using a loop setup — layering sounds, rhythms, and vocals right in front of you. No band, no backing tracks, just skill and creativity turning one person into a full sound.
The result? A set that feels raw, dynamic, and completely engaging from start to finish.
Meet Nuns 'N Moses!
