Katie Grace Harris is a multi-tasking, foot tapping, piano, dulcimer and accordion playing singer and story-weaver.

Steve Pledger is one of the finest protest singer/songwriters of his generation (Folk & Tumble). On record as well as on stage, his songs connect, with RnR Magazine describing his music as having "a direct route to the heart". Now more than ever, his live shows and his latest album, What Tomorrow Knows, would seem to confirm that statement. For him, that's very much what it's all about.
At the crossroads of blues and American roots music you’ll find Brooks Williams. With 35 recordings and counting, thousands of shows throughout Europe, North America and the UK, and consistently high praise across a vast array of media reviews over the course of his 35 years on the folk circuit “his easy, relaxed manner conceals the greatest level of true expertise” (Fatea Magazine).
Join us for an enthralling evening with singer-songwriter and entertainer Pete Morton, who fRoots Magazine rank as “amongst the best that the British roots music scene has produced in living memory” and whose music has been praised as “not only original, but a revelation” by The Guardian. With his trademark fun-loving and approachable style, Pete will share with us his popular and highly entertaining show, The Ghost of a Sailor's talking blues — an unruly mix of singing together, storytelling and comedy which transports the audience through history.
