The Adam Sweet Band deliver brooding blues and roots-rock, balancing expressive guitar work, soulful vocals and a powerful live dynamic rooted in authenticity and feel.

Led by guitarist and singer-songwriter Adam Sweet, the band has built a reputation as one of the tightest and most compelling live acts on the UK blues circuit. In 2023 they were crowned Introducing Stage Winners at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival, with this momentum continuing into nominations for UK Blues Emerging Act of the Year at the UK Blues Awards in 2025 & 2026.

Taking his cue from the British blues boom of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, Adam Sweet has been carving out his own territory at the crossroads of classic rock, blues and Americana since first hitting the live scene in the South West of England at just 15. Having worked in various guises; solo acoustic performer, session player and band leader; he’s developed a consummate ability to shift effortlessly from sensitive singer-songwriter to full-throttle blues rocker.

The Adam Sweet Band features:

•   Garry Kroll - drums (Mark Ronson, Joss Stone, Sandi Thom, Elles Bailey, Andrea Bocelli)

•   Paddy Blight - bass (Hollow Souls, The Hoosiers, Andy Timmons, That Pedal Show)

•   Thomas Hughes - organ (Nektar, Eddie Floyd, Geno Washington, Danny Bryant, The Selecter)

Renowned for their deep groove, dynamic interplay and expressive musicianship, the band bring Sweet’s richly detailed songwriting to life on stage. Their performances have taken in venues and festivals across the UK including the 100 Club, Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals, and supports for artists such as Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras Band and Elles Bailey.

In 2024 they released Live at Crescent Records, recorded and filmed live in a single day. The accompanying video series has amassed over 100,000 views on YouTube, capturing the band’s onstage chemistry in its rawest form.

With a new studio album due in 2026, the Adam Sweet Band continue to establish themselves as a formidable force on the contemporary blues-rock scene.

Rumour has it the Wilbury brothers wuz plyin’ their trade one night in Tootsie’s Bar, Nashville, when they spotted George Harrison from The Beatles and his pal, Jeff Lynne outta the ELO in the crowd. Seems George & Jeff wuz lovin’ the show cuz they called up some friends to come along.  Them friends wuz Roy Orbison, Tom Petty outta The Heartbreakers, and that Bobby Dylan himself.  

After a night partyin’ n’ drinkin’, the boys allegedly decided they should all work together.  Six months on, the Wilburys had heard nuthin’.  Then it seems they heard their own music comin’ out of a record store. It wuz a new supergroup, callin’ ‘emselves The Traveling Wilburys. 

Yes folks, it seems the Traveling Wilburys became a tribute band to our home-spun originals!

After a lot of years, The Unravelling Wilburys decided to ‘reclaim’ their songs, puttin’ together a set of all the hits and the best stuff Dylan, Petty, Orbison, Lynne and Harrison could muster between ‘em.  Then they headed for the UK, where the folks ain’t got much of a clue about Country music and took to ‘em right away. They’ve been here ever since.

With a perfect mix of superb musicianship and comedy, the UNRAVELLING WILBURYS are brothers ‘Sticky’ Willy, Walter, Thumper, Blind Melon and Honky Tonk, who tell their unique story on how they became a tribute band.  Now so popular that they even got to be a question on that TV show “The Chase”, the boys get to spend their time travelling all over the UK, from the Orkney Islands to the Isle of Wight; from Penzance to Perth; from Southwold to South Wales; getting rave reviews and packing out theatres along the way in towns whose names they’ve never heard of and can’t pronounce.

 The show features the best of the Wilbury albums (‘Handle With Care’; ‘The End of The Line’; ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’; ‘Tweeter & The Monkeyman’) and some of their supposedly thievin’ counterparts’ numbers like ‘Refugee’; ‘While my Guitar Gently Weeps’; ‘Like a Rollin Stone’; ‘Only the Lonely’ and ‘Mr. Blue Sky’. The act also contains the kind of comedy only a band spending far too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up.

 So- turn off your hearing aid, put your Zimmer frame to one side and prepare for a great night out.  It’s a journey you ain’t gonna forget in a hurry!

Peter Knight’s Gigspanner Trio

New Album Preview Tour

"There’s something of the proverbial elder statesman about Peter Knight, in terms of his place in music, which cannot be overstated. It’s not just in the quality of his playing...there’s a focus on the sheer inventiveness of Peter’s playing, in the adventurous arrangements he shares with his collaborators, and in his musical leadership”

Northern Sky Magazine

Since his inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970, Peter Knight has been a mainstay of the British folk scene.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Peter has carved a reputation as a relentlessly questing musician “as mercurial as quicksilver”, and it is never quite so apparent as in his work with the various Gigspanner line-ups.

The Gigspanner Trio is the beating heart from which all other lineups have evolved, and the one most loved by many for the intimacy and joy manifest in their virtuosic performances. Audiences revel in the opportunity to witness ‘up close and personal’ the almost telepathic communication that exists between Peter, guitarist Roger Flack and hand percussionist, Sacha Trochet.

This concert is an extra special one as the Trio will be showcasing selected pieces from  their long waited new album.

Described by Folk Radio UK as one of the “most quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond”, they take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, produce richly atmospheric arrangements “with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator” (Spiral Earth). 

It’s a staggering 25 years since St Agnes Fountain first launched their unique brand of festive music into the world. Originally comprising David Hughes (guitar, vocals), Chris Leslie (fiddle, mandolin, guitar, flutes, vocals), Chris While (guitar, percussion, vocals) and Julie Matthews (keyboards, guitar, bouzouki, vocals), the band quickly carved out a sound all of their own.

Blending original Christmas songs with traditional carols, delivered in their unmistakable style, St Agnes Fountain have become an essential part of the festive season for thousands of people. So much so, they inspired the much-loved phrase: “Christmas starts with St Agnes Fountain.”

As one devoted concert-goer wrote in 2025:

“I would not mind if I missed the Christmas dinner, the pudding and mince pies, the presents and the drinks. But I would be devastated if I missed St Agnes Fountain at Christmas!”

Following David Hughes ’retirement due to ill health in 2020, and his sad passing in 2023, Chris While, Julie Matthews and Chris Leslie continued as a trio. Since then, they have released two studio albums and one live album, adding further depth to an already formidable catalogue of festive recordings.

December 2026 will see St Agnes Fountain tour their Silver Jubilee Show — a celebration of a quarter-century of music-making and festive celebrations. The show will draw from their extensive back catalogue of songs and tunes, poems and stories, as they once again raise the stained-glass arches and drape the fairy lights.

If you like Christmas, you’ll love St Agnes Fountain.

Phil Beer is the multi-instrumental half of the west country’s award-winning acoustic duo, Show of Hands. With a professional career of over 36 years, Phil has a great deal of material to draw on for his solo appearances, which are an eclectic mix of traditional tunes, covers of Springsteen or The Hollies, together with his own compositions and songs from his contemporaries.

In January–March 2027, Ben & Tom Waters bring their live show to theatres across the UK, joined by special guest percussionist James Larter.

This tour celebrates the relaunch of Ben Waters’ landmark Rolling Stones tribute album, originally recorded in 2010 in honour of Ian Stewart — one of the great architects of British rhythm & blues.

Ben Waters is internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading boogie-woogie and rock ’n’ roll pianists, renowned for his live performances and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music.

Tom Waters is a Royal Academy of Music graduate, bandleader and saxophonist whose playing draws on rhythm & blues, jazz, soul, funk and rock ’n’ roll influences. From the age of 13 to 16, Tom left school and toured internationally with his father, performing more than 900 shows across 52 countries. That extraordinary period of constant touring created a musical connection between them that is instinctive, intuitive and almost telepathic.

Joining them for this tour is award-winning percussionist, drummer and multi-instrumentalist James Larter, a long-time collaborator of Tom’s and one of the UK’s most versatile rhythmic musicians.

A graduate of both the Royal Academy of Music and the Manhattan School of Music, James has performed and recorded with artists including Sampha, Berlioz and Gang of Youths, and has worked with legendary producers Tony Visconti, Dave Okumu and Chris Kimsey. He has also appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra and English National Opera.

Between them they have played and shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Ray Davies, Rod Stewart, Mick Hucknall, Dave Stewart, Johnny Depp and many more.

The show combines piano, saxophone and percussion in a performance rooted in rhythm & blues, rock ’n’ roll, funk, improvisation and humour — played with the chemistry and instinct that only comes from years of performing together.

Into the Shadows, present a unique and entertaining show, not only recreating the unique sound of The Shadows, but also playing many of the early Cliff songs that were written and produced by The Shadows.

Among The Shadows many hits, were Wonderful Land, Guitar Tango, Frightened City, Dance On, FBI, Atlantis and Man of Mystery, with their first number one hit ‘Apache' still recognised as being one of the most iconic instrumental records of all time.

Come along and relive and enjoy those wonderful memories, from the magical 60’s!!

Known for her magical, evocative voice and an ability to interpret and inhabit a range of styles with a mix of power and feeling, Heather Findlay is one of the finest vocalists working in music today. Prog magazine lauded her, �Deliciously sultry vocals�, whilst Maverick magazine hailed her, �Pure, crystalline voice. She grabs your heart in an almost vice-like grip�.

�This isn't just music. It is a wonderful gift to the world. Heather Findlay�s "Wildflower", is just what we need right now. Burt Bacharach�s song and Jackie DeShannon singing it; brought to life in an entire album. This album needs to be heard by everyone feeling the tragedy of war, or any other tribulation you can imagine. 

Mark Preiss, Prog Rock Central (USA)

�If you enjoy acoustic music with wonderful female vocals and lyrics with meaning, then this is simply essential.�.
