19h00: Kevin Gurney

Kevin Gurney is a guitarist and singer from Eston who has been playing for several years. He plays a range of acoustic folk and blues songs, including some originals. His influences include legends such as Eric Clapton, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan, as well as current artists like Benjamin Tod, Tyler Childers, The Hill Country Devil, and Mumford and Sons.

 

20h00: The Offspring

The Webster family has become a bit of a fixture of Midlands music. Youngest, Michael, has matured into his twenties with the ability to deliver tasteful drum and percussion grooves taught to him by the legendary Chris Melling. Rebecca Webster is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who learned gigging as part of the “family business”, and eldest Rachael has a Dolores O'Riordan quality to her sweet vocals. Dad, Charles, is a bit crusty these days, but he adds plenty of cheese with his dad jokes to complete the tasty familial musical toastie. They’ll be following Kevin Gurney with a selection of their favourite collaborations, in various configurations.

 

21h00: Into the Mystic

Ilan Lax and Brian Bedingfield have joined forces with a full-on band of musicians to put on a show in tribute to one of their musical heroes: Van Morrison.
