The concept of Pepper Presents is to bring some of the UK’s most exciting up and coming bands and artists to carefully selected venues, using the highest quality sound and lighting equipment. An enthusiastic and passionate team of sponsors are offering their expertise and providing unique, top quality products to guarantee a very special night that the audience will never forget.
At the heart of Pepper Presents is a desire to support the local music scene; building new audiences for talented artists, filling local venues and providing an incredible night of live music for the fans. Both acts due to perform in the first showcase have been specifically chosen due to their impressive on-stage energy and undeniable talent. The aim is that the audience will discover new music through a band they already love, and enjoy both sets rather than leaving after the first act or arriving late to watch the second.
Pepper’s founder, David Hamilton, says, “Pepper Presents represents quality for all of those involved – in fact, it’s a culmination of all the services we offer throughout the Pepper Platform. Pepper Presents will give up and coming artists a platform to grow their fan base, and put on a show using some of the best equipment available in the industry. This will not only leave the performers wowed, it will also leave the audience with a lasting impression regardless of the artist and their taste in music.”

They make mod influenced indie-pop with lyrics about real life and real issues. The band’s debut single, The Way We’re Made (Made in England) reached number 38 in the UK singles chart after they were confirmed as runners-up in Sky1’s talent competition, Must Be the Music. Missing Andy has since gone from strength to strength, with an ever-growing fan base across the country.
The Lost Boys
The Lost Boys are a four piece indie pop band from Southampton consisting of Daniel Ash (vocals, guitar), James Millar (bass), Shaun Ashley (lead guitar) and Jason Daniels (drums).
