Featuring
Mad Apple Circus
Hailing from the deepest, darkest suburbs of Bristol, Mad Apple Circus is a unique blend of horn-fuelled styles better known as Bristone. The Mad Apple Rabble deliver an infectious mix of ska/hip-hop/jazz, where swing and reggae influences jump through - nothing but the good stuff.

Zen Baseballbat
We are Zen Baseballbat. Unashamedly leftfield. Sometimes described as a wildcard. We come from a time when being difficult to pindown was a strength and not a weakness. This band will take you through a whole gamut of emotions, lifting you up when you least expect it, at other times provoking anger, sadness, determination and the desire to stand up and be counted, as we enter yet another phase of vilifying the wrong enemy, while the real one who’s out of the public eye gets away scot-free.
