Yoyo (http://www.weloveyoyo.com); South Korean and raised in Paris, Yoyo now resides in London working across a range of disciplines: graphic design to painting, web design to illustration. Yoyo’s illustrations are dark, yet playful, sometimes irreverent but always inspired by the human being.

Andy Bourne (http://andy-bourne.com); Inspired by underground comics and 60’s psychedelia, Andy’s vibrant creations are bold, often topical and ever-so-slightly obnoxious.

Stick it on (http://www.stickiton.club)

Stick It On will be hosting the music entertainment in the upstairs bar.

In addition, via their new event app they will also be giving a select few the opportunity to don the headphones and get behind the decks for 15 minutes of DJ fame (under Stick It On's close guidance of course).
