Acoustic music!
Dream Sellers is a leading Reading folk rock band playing both covers and original material. You can see them regularly in the pubs, clubs, music venues and festivals in Berkshire, including Reading Minster, the Purple Turtle, Moonrakers and the Facebar. They launched the music for charity programme, Raze the Roof, collecting funds for the Royal Berkshire Cancer Centre
Snugg is a fresh and energetic acoustic duo, mixing acoustic Guitar/Vocals with Cajón/Percussion. With an eclectic range of covers from the 50’s right up to present day, Carrie and Mark display a vibe and chemistry that is infectious to watch; a true live music experience!
Daughter of the Water is Sarah Lambert-Gates, described as a musical time-traveller. Her crystalline voice, haunting melodies, and evocative lyrics draw comparisons to Amelia Coburn, Vashti Bunyan, Kate Bush, and the Mediæval Bæbes, with sonic threads connecting Darkher, Joni Mitchell, and Nick Drake. Sarah composes and performs on the banjola, creating music with a delicate yet otherworldly presence.
Manna Ash - son of a creature man-loyal to King and McQeen-submachine-enemy of Tin Rod-friend to Man Bolan, CoCo Cocane, Rosealone, Young Mahler and Late Arvo Part-ship mate of Bly Bossin-member of The Inner Think Circle and The Cuppa Tea Club-antiromatic..
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.
One Lump or Two comprises Tom Hall and, Lynnette and Martyn Cooper who all play in several local bands, most notably The Kennet Delta Cowboys, but One Limp 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. We are delighted to have them back on the stage.
Graham Swannell the Greenman of Folk takes the spotlight on guitar and a Cappello . . . . with a strong voice! You might recognize him as the person you organizes the 'Troubadour' gigs at South Oxfordshire's amazing Bunkfest.
The buffet is yummy . . . .
