Five artists you should be listening to right now. All in one playlist This month’s playlist is a special one. It marks a whole year since we first launched our Spotify South West submissions, giving artists a space to share their tracks and listeners a chance to discover what’s really happening in the region.

Over the past 12 months, we’ve featured dozens of artists, each bringing something fresh to the table, and this latest line-up is no different. These are the voices shaping the South and West right now, and you can hear them all in one place.

Hit play, tune in, and see who catches your ear.

– Darren Branch

Darren Branch’s first love was Heavy Metal, sparked by seeing Iron Maiden live at the Cornwall Coliseum in 1984 at the age of 13. His passion for grassroots music grew after discovering the vibrant local scene around Daylight Recording Studios in Honiton during the late 1980s. Having lived in Honiton and Exeter, Darren now lives in South Somerset and enjoys spending time in South Carolina. He stays deeply connected to the Southwest’s emerging bands—often through families that keep the scene alive. Outside music, he builds websites, reads business books, and participates in English Premier League Fantasy Football.
