Acoustic music!
Union Blue is a vibrant four piece band featuring Pete, Dave, Tom and Martyn. They bring to life a diverse repertoire of music spanning the decades alongside their own original compositions. Union Blue delivers an engaging and nostalgic musical experience for all.
One Lump or Two comprises Tom, Lynnette and Martyn who play in several local bands, most notably The Kennet Delta Cowboys, but One Lump or Two is what they do for fun. Creative reimagining of songs you'll know and obscure quirky whimsical treats. Foot tapping and singalong jollity is this entertaining trio is about.
Annie and Ella: Annie plays original songs written mostly by herself with some co writes with Joe Riverman, such as Indian Ocean and chasing the sun. Ella accompanies on percussion. The songs are an expression of life, nature, frustrations and desires. Influenced by punk and folk, rock reggae and pop, anything goes, as long as it makes us feel good!
Dave Norgrove is a singer/songwriter, best described as Indie folk. He played in a couple of well established New wave/Indie bands in the 80's and 90's,and if you listen carefully, you can still hear that vibe! Check him out on all streaming platforms, including Spotify.
Joe Riverman has been writing songs since about 1985. His heroes are Beatles, Bowie, Joni, Hendrix, Dylan, Springsteen, Baez and all the post punk stuff from around 1977 to 1987. Listen to him on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube
Laura Cherry Laura is a singer of shanties and unusual songs. Brightwell-cum-Sotwell’s first and only shanty woman.
Laura is also a keen member of Peppard Unplugged's caterting crew.
Malcolm Smith is an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist and song-writer with a large repertoire of both covers and his own songs, many inspired by his travels.
You'll have met Malcolm on the door (if you paid!!!)
Bruce Gomersall is well known in the local area as the resident at Nettlebed Folk Club as well as the MC for many festivals. He has had the privilege of supporting great names such as Show of Hands, Fairport Convention and Anthony John Clarke.
The food is yummy. . .
