We welcome Eloise Carter!

We welcome Hightown Crow!

After a hiatus that took a quarter of a century and the sad loss of their lead guitarist, it was a memorial gig that put Staf, Doug & Reg back on the same stage. Now Isle of Wight rock band Hightown Crow return (with the help of Mark on guitar) to deliver a sound that is reminiscent of UK bands such as Stereophonics & Feeder with echoes and influence from The Cult & The Smashing Pumpkins. They’ve even made it back in the studio!

We welcome The Damien Paul Band!

We welcome Beatroot!

Based somewhere in between Brighton and Portsmouth, Beatroot have been taking their special brew of dirty funk across the UK and winning over audiences with high-energy performances, unique instrumental arrangements and a surprising ability to fit onto stages that should really be much too small for them (2022-2025 undefeated champions of Human Tetris). A big band with a big sound- aggressive, muscular musicality whilst remaining accessible and, above all, fun.

Brass in your face, a relentless rhythm section, artery popping trumpets and a baritone that hits you where it hurts. This is dirty funk- order up!
