Events on Friday 12th January

“The Billy Shinbone Show is the deviant folk-pop-skiffle manglings & disco-punk-rock-blues of Somerset multi-instrumentalist Billy Shinbone, -funneling his twin passions of old country & 60s psychedelia through the rusty plumbing of a DIY musical approach & his love of a twisty lyric.”

“BBC Radio Bristol presenter Keith Warmington; a soulful singer of blues, guitarist and virtuoso harmonica player. One of his old bands, The Parole Brothers, where he worked alongside Steve Payne, was a major force on the music scene in the 1980’s and made Keith a veritable legend on the local circuit. Keith and Steve Webb will perform an evening of acoustic traditional blues and original songs.”

“Dubclass' self styled music spans over many different genre's with influences from Dreadzone, The Orb, Gong, Zion train from one angle, but also Hawkwind and Space Ritual with eastern influences from The Spy From Cairo, leading to a sound that in a nutshell can be described as dub reggae meets space rock with a splash of the east. Over subsequent summers they have played at festivals big and small, also braving the winter for the opportunity to support Dreadzone and Zion train.”

“Livewire songwriter Sam Evans is on a mission to make the world a better place through upbeat lyrics and soulful funkiness and his 6-strong outfit Verdisa are with him all the way. Come and have a swig of their spirit-lifting cocktail of reggae, blues and soul with a liberal splash of feelgood funk.”
