Kicking off an amazing evening of entertainment at 5pm today is the superb BearFootSoul ! An absolutely class act and a must-see artist

BearFootSoul is originally an American native son who’s called Suffolk his home for over three decades. Known across the UK live circuit for his soul-powered vocals and earthy, acoustic guitar-driven sound, his performances channel the storytelling traditions of classic Americana through the emotional intensity of soul and roots rock.

BearFootSoul is a one-man band (joined by his eldest son Josh as sound engineer) usually performing barefoot, weather permitting. He builds some of his tracks live using looping as an instrument to develop rich vocal harmonies and subtle instrumental layers.

Audiences and critics alike have compared his energy to a mix of Otis Redding meets Chris Stapleton, with a vocal style that’s reminiscent of Ray Charles, both tender and thunderous.

Introducing our 3rd act on Saturday: Smokin’ Sons of Stratford! A fantastic entertaining and energetic up-and-coming local band, featuring James from Brigade

Smokin’ Sons of Stratford were born the way all great bands should be: through friendship, questionable decisions, and a lockdown pub quiz. What started as a bunch of long-time mates surviving Covid over video calls somehow turned into one of the loudest and most entertaining cover bands around.

It began when Andy revealed he’d secretly started learning to drum on the quiet — an impressive achievement for any drummer. James, genuine musician and veteran of alt-rock outfit Brigade, heard about it and suggested a jam session in a mate’s farm shed. Soon after, Pat dusted off a guitar for the first time in 30 years, Oli turned up with a keyboard, and Bob resurrected his bass-playing skills from his local band days a decade earlier.
The final piece of the puzzle arrived unexpectedly when Andy’s daughter Mads wanted to sing a Taylor Swift song. Turns out she could really sing — and just like that, the band was complete.

Made up almost entirely of Stratford St Andrew locals, Smokin’ Sons of Stratford play strictly for the love of music, friendship, and a good night out. From Bon Jovi to Tina Turner, The Struts to Lola Young, they bring big songs, big energy, and absolutely no volume control.
A good time… all the time!
