One of the best parts of being a judge in the Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition is keeping in touch with the artists that impressed during the selection process.
Last time out our three long listed entries were Brighton band Roma Palace, singer-songwriter Laura Goldthorp and indie and jazz act Saachi.
Roma Palace made it through to the last eight shortlisted finalists and appeared at last year’s festival. They also impressed us recently with their new single You.

This month we have also caught up with Saachi and Laura.
Saachi
Saachi lead singer Saachi Sen has let us know that in October she is releasing a new single Dark.
This comes amid a busy year for Saachi having played festivals including Cambridge Big Weekend and Pride in London.
Released as a solo track, Dark was part recorded at London’s Abbey Road and is “about being proud of who you are, no matter what preconception the world could have of you.”
As with her Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition entry, Dark also impresses us, showcasing Saachi’s great song writing and superb voice. It’s got a great message too.
Laura Goldthorp
Meanwhile, Laura Goldthorp’s track Candy Shops is still earworming its way nicely through our noggins. She’s back with another slice of great pop with a new single Supernova.
This is the first single off an upcoming EP and can be found via her social media sites.
According to Laura, the track is an “honest exploration of creative anxiety”.
