Maverick Sabre returns to his Hackney roots to bring haunting vocals, guitar mastery and his unique take on R&B to the delighted Radio 1 crowd.

Thrown in to the mainstream by his work with Chase & Status and Professor Green, plus a monumental apperance on Later... With Jools Holland, he went on to tour with The Script, Plan B, Cee Lo Green and Snoop Dogg. Huw Stephens calls him the 'male Amy Winehouse', and with singles Let Me Go and I Need creating a huge buzz, his upcoming tour cannot fail to be a massive success.

Exciting times are ahead for Michael Stafford. With his debut album, Lonely Are The Brave, due this year, impressive performance credentials confirmed at 1Xtra Live and a self confessed love of festivals, get ready for an enchanting set this summer.
