The Duskies

Kindred Spirit faithfuls, throughout this long journey in what seems a massive musical handfasting of mind and soul.

Du Glas

Du Glas offer their own brand of original roots music, combining influences from Americana and British folk-rock (and whatever else takes their fancy at the time). Their energy, humour and love of gin has incited such madness that audiences have thrown away their pints, danced in a downpour and bounced on the bar like a Bruckheimer film (you know the one we mean) You'd be a fool to miss it!!

Six Under

Freshly Squeezed

Freshly are an evolution of funk, soul and hip hop hailing from the vibrant South West UK. A musical force that seamlessly blends heavy horns with soulful melodies and formidable MC.

The Rin Tins

Keep them dancing.

Dew Barf

Dew Barf play a wide variety of music, spanning over one hundred years, equalling the combined age of the duo. Two delinquent drop outs who happen to have known each other for 30 years and lurked at the back of various stages in that time, decided to get some microphones and have a go at being front-men. The result is pretty hairy!

True Foxes

True Foxes, an acclaimed folk/americana family duo, are quickly gaining popularity in the South West and beyond.
Amie, with her soulful vocals and earworm song writing, has been compared to artists such as Brandi Carlile, Karen Carpenter, and Dolly Parton, accompanied by guitar, ukulele, banjo, and piano.
