PERFORMERS:
KARYO
Music for dancing, prancing and drunken romancing. Their sound comprises an upbeat combination of hip-hop, ska and alt rock with lyrics falling somewhere between conscious and preposterous. Their influences include The Cat Empire, The Streets and The Skints, but don’t sound much like any of them. If you’re a fan of leapfrogs or squawking like a parakeet, please report directly to the front row.
JULIEDA PRESENTS: THE DRAGONS TALE
An epic poetic story of witches, war, and the weather. Expect interactive storytelling, dance, and music.
SLUG BAND
Slug Band are a fun, nature-loving ceilidh band from Bristol. A group of friends who love playing together, their enthusiastic takes on tunes old and new will definitely get you dancing. Featuring a line-up of fiddle, strings, innovative percussion and the occasional song.
ARTUBA
Unique acoustic duo mixing ska, reggae and calypso with UK flavours to make an irresistible sound.
LOCHINE
Rob Brown and Harry Christensen offer rich tapestries of lush folk-rock, complete with soul soothing melodies.
TSIALI CHOIR
A Bristol-based choir specialising in the mesmerising polyphonic singing traditions of the Republic of Georgia. Ancient harmonies, lively wedding songs, and plenty of opportunity to join in.
