Necessity breeds
creation.

At the beginning of their musical journeys, our creators were fledging artists themselves. They wrote songs, went to studios to record them. They hired producers, engineers, mixers and mastering engineers - watched, listened, asked questions.

Along the way they started to fill in the blanks, record their own tracks, build their own studio spaces, until one day they found the skills they had developed and crafted had given them full reins of their artistic destinies and the ability to help others understand theirs
This sense of control - this sense of freedom, exudes itself in Gatcombe’s list of services. From songwriting and composition, to production, mixing, mastering and voice-overs - our creators are chameleons, our services fit for purpose. Our work individually and collectively on projects on and off label, production houses, documentaries, TVC commercials and more speaks to our innate understanding of our craft and our purpose - to create.
Gatcombe Music is less an agency and more a roof under which our creators can be their truest selves, making our services an extension of them and the clients they work for.
Get to know each of our creators below and what they can bring to your project.

Credits The eight five two, Nick de la Hoyde, Auralantic, Monks of Mellonwah.

Highlights Played music matters 2013, Musexpo and Global Rock Summit 2015 - embarked on a 3 month tour of the USA which included supporting Scott Stapp and Sevendust - won Best International Rock Artist at LA Music Awards 2012 - rotational radioplay across Australian commercial radio ‘Changing’ Nick de la Hoyde - Triple j radioplay across multiple artists.

Bio John de la Hoyde is a leading litigation lawyer by day and a musician, writer and performer during every other waking moment of his life.

Having learned his trade as a self-taught guitarist and bassist obsessing over some of the great classical and progressive rock musicians over the past sixty years, John’s focus shifted when he joined alternative rock band Monks of Mellonwah in 2009, in which he played an instrumental role in the band’s creative direction, live performance and branding.
After the band took an indefinite hiatus in 2015, John refocused his creative output into writing, predominantly with his three brothers in The Eight Five Two, and occasionally releases music under pseudo “Auralantic”.
John brings a raw and at times unconventional energy to his writing. His musical taste is diverse, often resulting in his work spanning across multiple genres, but he is driven by an unwavering desire to meaningfully connect with his own inner being and, in turn, his audience.
