A Bit Of US

The Grayston Unity presents "A Bit Of Us" which is a part of our 10th birthday celebration where we take over the legendary Trades Club for one night only bringing 3 of our favourite artists!

Marie Franc are a dark-pop five-piece crafting songs that feel at once raw and romantic, pairing visceral lyricism with a nostalgic, ethereal haze. After cutting their teeth on Manchester’s indie circuit with their debut EP Birthday, the band came of age on their brooding 2025 follow-up EP Saturday Boy. Its sultry lead single “Loungewear” earned support from BBC Introducing, while the hazy, melancholic “Leave the Light On” further marked them out as ones to watch. Several singles have followed in 2026, including fan favourite Fabric and the evocative, witchy anthem Pendle Hill.

GROW carving their path through a cultured mix of influences such as Pink Floyd, Steely Dan and Neil Young. The group released their debut single ‘Your Own Time’ in January 2025 which claimed support from the likes of Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music and their second single ‘Take It & Run’ in April 2025. Grow backed by Halifax label The Grayston Unity Records.

Augustin Bousfield has built one of the more remarkable CVs in British independent music. Co-writing and producing Saint Etienne’s albums The Night and I’ve Been Trying to Tell You to widespread acclaim, scoring music for television and film across an extraordinary range of territory (including yes, the Deal or No Deal theme).
