12pm-2pm: Morgan Lindley and Webb,
Warmington, Lindley and Webb – that’s Keith , Clare and Steve. Expect a mix of Americana, originals, folk and blues accompanied by geat guitar, fiddle and harmonica playing.

2pm-3pm- Fraser
Fraser is the latest music offering from singer songwriter Alan Green. Born out of a desire to give life to the narratives and characters on Green’s mind, the Bristol native began writing prolifically in 2020. Channeling the sounds of 70s folk and 00s alt pop FRASER. blends classic production with emotive storytelling, actualised through Al Green’s sublime vocals.

3pm-4pm- Volveremos
Bringing together a fantastic mix of sensational original tracks and carefully selected covers that pay homage to many of the era’s greatest hits, Volveremos continually wows audiences of all generations with their catchy, danceable and often poignant songs.

‘Volveremos’ (We will return) are a band formed in late 2020 and emanate from the 80’s band ‘All Teeth and Makeup.’ The more recent addition of an impressive bass player, complements and completes the line-up of this unique 5-piece South Wales based group.

Delivering truly unforgettable performances, Volveremos transports audiences back through music’s golden ages, whilst keeping them grooving to a beat that’s unmistakably their own.

4pm-5pm- Melanie Branton
Melanie Branton is a poet and spoken word artist from North Somerset. She has two published collections, Can You See Where I’m Coming From? (Burning Eye, 2018) and My Cloth-Eared Heart (Oversteps, 2017) and has performed in headline slots at spoken word nights from Plymouth to Newcastle. Her eclectic, boundary-busting work encompasses both page poetry and spoken word, both literary poetry and more populist forms, and ranges between the comic, the reflective and the hard hitting.

5pm-6pm- the Spectacles
THE SPECTACLES RETURN! After a year in the rock and roll wilderness from the now mythological / notorious first gig – back with new songs, new line up and a battered suitcase full of rock cliches. Probably the most overhyped and under-rehearsed band in Bristol : bad boy rock and roll with the last of the true punk romantics!
