CHARLOTTE CARPENTER | Saturday 28 May 2022 | Sliding guitar licks, percussive thumps and Carpenter's own fiery, soulful vocals. A distinctly different kind of singer/songwriter sound, and one that makes for an enthralling listen.

KARA GRAINGER | Saturday 02 July 2022 | star power killer voice and guitar skills, with rootsy blues, her voice full-bodied with plenty of soul. There was clarity there too with that unmistakable bell tone mixed with grit. We were in for some serious musicianship with Kara Grainger. Her vocals packed a punch and she played monster guitar solos that had the crowd whooping andclapping. Nice to see a female musician kick some a** like that". - Rock & Blues Muse

HANNAH ALDRIDGE with GUSTAV SJODIN | Saturday 02 JULY 2022. When we heard Hannah was back in town the prospect was too inticiting to pass over. Hannah and Gus will be joining this mega line up, adding their southern rock from Muscle Shoals. This will be a very special mid summer music extravaganza.

JESS JOCOY | Saturday 02 July 2022 | an ethereal sound with organic roots, anchored by a longtime love of country music, a storyteller's nuanced delivery, and a folksinger's finesse. A sound that blurs the lines between genres, creating its own blend of twang and texture along the way, described as "the growth of an exciting songwriter, destined to be one of the greatest of her generation" by Alan Cackett, renowned Journalist and Broadcaster.
