The 9:30 Friends are a Maidenhead-based group, who started off life as a church group playing at 9:30 Mass at St Edmund Campion church, before branching out playing for fund-raising concerts and parties. Their repertoire ranges from obscure folk music to popular covers. An important part of preparation for Peppard will be deciding how many people can fit on stage! [Note the record so far is eight!]

Lucy Loves Vincent are husband and wife duo Damien and Jen, who found their collaborative voice on the Brighton open mic scene. They utilise guitar and flute to provide a simple backdrop to accompany their natural vocal harmonies. They try to choose lesser known songs to cover in order to avoid scrutiny. One day they hope to feel confident enough to perform their own original material, if they ever get around to writing any!

@9.15 is a Reading based band comprising guitars, keyboard, percussion and vocals. They play a wide range of songs from across blues, folk, indie and rock musical genres. Performing in pubs and clubs across the area, the songs they play have strong melodies and harmonies.

Out on Licence was conceived at Peppard with three musicians coming together to make very different to music to that which each would do on their own. Includes Kevin Bull, Dave Taylor and  Paul Steel. 

Mark Ashworth  is an award winning songwriter, singer and musician, performing his own and other people's songs, rooted in the broad folk tradition accompanying himself on guitar and bouzouki/octave mandolin.   

 Savour the Flavour play polky, poppy, acoustiky music for polky people.  They concentrate on their own compositions but also play a lot of polky cover songs that you will know . 

You can see their entire 'feature' set on YouTube, launching their new collection at Peppard in May 2023. 

The stage is set . . .
