Appearing Friday 14th & Saturday 15th

Our Saturday Night Event features
Wheeler Street
.

A young band who have a passion which is clear to anyone who meets them. 
They have all played from an early age, acquiring skills that belie their ages and covering a breadth of instruments including fiddle, guitar, whistle, melodeon, bouzouki, mandolin, concertina, drums, bass and voice with a particular skill for close harmony.
When performing, they produce an explosion of energy that leaves audiences clamouring for more.

'Like the Pogues without the punk…
they play with every bit of the authenticity mustered by the likes of Fairport Convention'
Q, Feb ‘09

On Saturday afternoon, we welcome back Jez Lowe & Kate Bramley
Jez has toured the world, building up a formidable reputation as a singer-songwriter and has gained the respect of his peers and his audience alike.  His songs are among the most widely sung by folksingers and bands around the country’s clubs and festivals.
Richard Thompson called him
"the best songwriter to emerge from the UK in a long time".
This year he is touring with 'Bad Penny', fiddler, singer and songwriter ...
"The impressive Kate Bramley"
( Daily Telegraph)
Kate's repertoire of traditional and original songs and tunes has made her one of the most sought after performers on the scene.


Formerly 'The Badgers', Hickman & Quinn are a folk and roots duo who play original and traditional songs and instrumentals. James Hickman and Chris Quinn share lead and back up roles on guitar and vocals as they play their exciting array of material that draws its influences from Britain, Ireland and America.
They have toured extensively at home and abroad and have opened for acts ranging from Katie Melua to The Levellers and now,
on Saturday evening, Wheeler Street.
