Jerry Harmon
Jerry Harmon was born into a family rich in the tradition of music. His home, deep in the foothills of the Blue Ridge / Appalachian mountains, reverberated daily to the sound of music in many different forms.
Harmon’s musical career was launched at an early age, strumming a banjo fashioned from wood and groundhog hide by his uncle Gene. Radio programmes featuring Hank Williams Sr, Flatt & Scruggs and Ray Price also proved a lasting influence.
After years of local and regional performing Harmon gained recognition as an outstanding guitarist, singer and songwriter. He begin to appear at such events as North Carolina’s renowned Merle-Fest, The Bath International Music Festival, The Edinburgh International Festival,and The Winnipeg Folk Festival.
He has shared the bill with some of America’s most celebrated musicians: Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Marty Stuart, Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton and others.
Jerry has quickly gained recognition  as an amazing performer in the UK and mainland Europe performing at major events there  after years of success as a performer in America.

Sicknote Steve
Sicknote Steve recreates the authentic sound of the original hobo bluesman. No technical trickery here -the authentic guitar paying skills and vocals of Sicknote Steve invoke the atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta as he slides and stomps his way through the Seasick songbook.
To audiences in the South West and Wales, the familiar bearded figure of hobo bluesman Sicknote Steve has become synonomous with a a great session of the blues. bringing with him the music of Grammy Award winning Seasick Steve.
A great favourite at many events at the Green Valley and The Acoustic Festival of Britain.

Guy Maile
Guy is a Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist. His songs are intense and often personal. Guy's guitar style is a unique self-taught style and worth travelling a long way to see. Hear him and you'll want to hear him again. See him and you'll definitely watch him again.
Guy may include anything from his own compositions and songs from the likes of Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Neil Young, Danny Whitten/Nils Lofgren, Tom Petty, Gene Clark, Buffy Sainte Marie, John Prine, Alison Krause, Boxcar Willy, T-Bone Walker, Janis Joplin, Nine Inch Nails, Chilli Peppers, Stones etc. For solo gigs, he does not use a set list but adjusts to the audience and ambience of the venue. I've seen him play 5 hrs over consecutive nights with only 2 songs repeated.

Josie Lloyd
Josie Lloyd sings blues and ragtime from the early 1900's, she is a fine guitarist, with a voice that can raise a storm.
There are many women who can sing well, many who write interesting songs, one or two who can play guitar and then there is Josie who has it all. Great voice, clever guitar... add a smile to beguile and eyes that mesmerise and the legion of fans grows ever longer... fall in line though, some of us have been in the queue for a while.

Matt Woosey
Combining an explosive slap-and-pick right hand guitar technique and a big-range blues shout, this sort of charismatic performer stops chat in the noisiest bar.
Woosey plays an acoustic guitar, he plays it fast and he plays it hard, sometimes with a slide but mostly without.  But his songwriting is sensitive and soulful. Steadily building a strong national following for very good reason.
He plays 'British Blues', his songs cover the same ground as all blues songs do; hardship, women, alcohol but he plays, or rather, sings, in a way that is not a mere copy of the originators. Woosey is not trying to be someone else, he is being himself and that comes out in every note he sings or plays.
