Sunday 4th May

His own material connects to everyday life while his covers include Pink Floyd, John Martin, Neil Young, The Divine Comedy, David Grey and much more. He is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and writes his own backing tracks. Markus has been performing for over 40 years in a variety of different acts, both tributes and original.

Lucy Crisp

13.00

Breaking the mold as a disabled electropop artist, Lucy Crisp is one whose voice and vision are impossible to ignore. Inspired by the likes of Imogen Heap, Lorde and Ellie Goulding, Lucy's songs envision a world where people can become comfortably vulnerable and express whatever emotion they're feeling.

Lucy's debut EP, ‘65 Roses’, delves into the life of Lucy herself, who has Cystic Fibrosis - a genetic condition that affects 10,000 people in the UK. The project is a personal introduction to Lucy and a true reflection of the physical and mental challenges disabled people, like herself, face in 2023. In addition, the EP has been supported by Youth Music’s NextGen campaign and praised by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Her ability to channel authentic emotion into her music, paired with her innovative approach to synth-pop, positions her as a rising star in the UK music scene.

Vaguely Savoury

14.00

Vaguely Savoury are a 4-piece musical ensemble, that perform cover versions of songs in a quirky and unique style. Their distinctive sound is created by their combination of vocals, ukulele, harmonica, violin and double bass.

The Vaguely Savoury songbook is camper than a row of tents, they rarely introduce the songs they are going to play and leave you to work out which well known song they've reworked. Will it be a showtune, a disco anthem or some 80s pop? Who knows!?

Graham Hinkley

15.00

Graham was our local hero before he moved away to Lincoln last year. We are delighted that he will be returning to perform his fantastic repertoire of well loved songs.

Graham has a unique and versatile voice and plays a great mixture of songs to suit all. You will be singing along.

Redwing

16.00

Redwing are a 4-piece British Rock band from Matlock, Derbyshire. The band formed in late 2023, a collection of 80’s kids brought up by the Woodstock generation.

Brothers Gareth & Liam Barkley-Smith reached out to Lou Fairlamb and Mike Dolton to form up after years of wanting to make music together, but never finding quite the right moment. That moment though, is now.

Redwing fuse Gareth's warm powerful voice, Lou and Liam’s rich bass and guitar tones and Mike’s punching grooves with gratifying harmonies and delicate lyrics delivering a sound that will demand you sit up and pay attention.
