More Information

Richard Thompson (1)

Richard Thompson (1)

Former member of Fairport Convention and one of England's most respected singer/songwriters whose live performances are enjoyed across the world, and whose new material is on a par with the classics he wrote decades ago. Being described as 'the English Bob Dylan' is a fair comparison, only Richard is a good few years younger!

Dreadzone

Dreadzone

One of the country's top reggae and dub acts, founded in 1993 by Greg Roberts and Tim Bran. Their debut album 360° set the stage for the follow up, Second Light, to be cited as a favourite of John Peel's and saw them play at Glastonbury just one year after their formation. Continuing to record and release new music, Dreadzone for many years hosted Dubweiser at Notting Hill Arts Club, and subsequently released Once Upon A Time in 2005. Their continued popularity remains a testament to their presence in British music.

Rich Hall as Otis Lee Crenshaw

Rich Hall as Otis Lee Crenshaw

Singer/songwriter from Tennessee who has been married seven times - all to women named Brenda... A hilarious creation from the well-known grouchy, deadpan US stand-up comic, winner of the Perrier Award 2000 and two Emmy Awards.

Scott McKeon

Scott McKeon

Since picking up his first guitar at the age of four, Scott McKeon has devoted himself to the mastery of his craft and can now be considered to be one of the most gifted and naturally talented guitarist, singer/songwriters emerging on the UK blues rock scene. He plays with the technical expertise and passion that is the envy of musicians many years his senior.

The Velvet Hearts

The Velvet Hearts

Growing up on a stringent diet of Rock and Roll the Velvet Hearts’ anthemic groove-rock style is a tribute to this legacy, a homage to their past and most notably to a shameless troubadour spirit which is clear in their live shows. Likened to such bands as Muse, Snow Patrol and The Killers, The Velvet Hearts possess a rare song-writing prowess.
