Steve Carroll is a 21st century Renaissance man, equally adept as graphic designer, performance poet and writer. He regularly appears at Roundabout, both as poet and compere. He has written Riddler's Fayre, a series of five graphic novels set at the turn of the thirteenth century, when Europe is buzzing with the discovery of Alchemy.

Nathan Bean has been labelled 'controversial' since exhibiting with RAG at Worthing Museum & Art Gallery. He showed 'Apathy Is Catching', a video featuring male and female dolls burning, and grabbed a front-page in the local paper under the headline 'Is This 3-minute Video Art?'. His simple videos, exploring the general theme of relationships, are often projected at Roundabout.
Russ Bravo is a journalist, singer-songsmith/poet and comedy writer who possesses a personalised autograph from the great Groucho Marx, too many retro Apple Mac computers and a deeply understanding family. He plays solo around the place with a curious mix of self-penned numbers and unlikely cover versions, and also fronts the Vertitas band, a contemporary folk-jazz-rock-pop-gospel-blues ensemble, precariously anchored at St Matthew's Church in Tarring.
