full line up

24th August

14:00 Sandersonscully

Sanderson Scully are a lively acoustic duo known for their soulful twists on timeless tunes. Their vocal harmonies create a heartfelt musical experience guaranteed to have you dancing and singing along!

15:10 Luke Edney

Luke (don’t call him Ed) Edney is a singer/songwriter and guitarist based in Surrey. Luke keeps you guessing -“what’s coming next?!” – as he records his whole set live with his guitar in front of your very eyes on-the-fly dripping with obvious influences of rock, soul, blues, and country. All whilst serenading you with a whiskey-soaked, cigarette-ravaged voice, often compared to the tones of Chris Stapleton, which seems otherworldly and born of a different time. You can expect music that’s inspired Luke and some unique crowd pleasers from the 50s to the modern day, as well as some original material.

16:20 Samuel Rex aka Sam Scarrott

Samuel Rex is a versatile guitarist and vocalist who performs popular songs for all tastes. His use of a looper pedal makes it possible to create more complex musical parts that compliment the tracks. He has performed with Brandi Carlile, Gina Gershon, Jade Bird and Katie Pruitt, and is currently playing the local scene in North Surrey and West London.’

17:30 Five O'clock Somewhere
18:40 Average Joe aka Joe Gunner

Average Joe Aka Joe Gunner is a Guildford based musician who has been playing guitar since the age of 5. Playing in cover bands, performing solo and in various duos over the years has moulded Joe into the Average Joe you get now. With a bit of swag, a ton of passion and some serious facial expressions thrown into the mix Average Joe performs acoustic tracks with live looping, covering some of your favourite artists with character conviction and individual style.

19:50 Sound of Jimmy Kent

A singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, piano), Jimmy has been on stage since he was 4 years old, and knows how to weave a narrative in words and music. He’s attended three of the best music schools in the world (Berklee College of Music, Belmont University, Academy of Contemporary Music), and has performed at Ronnie Scott’s, the London Astoria, the Garage (Islington), Bush Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Houses of Parliament.

Oh, there’ll be covers, sure. But have you ever wondered what it must be like to date if you’re Bigfoot? Do you want to encourage your kids to enjoy and protect the environment? How about selections from an orchestral rock concept album based on Greek mythology, Helen & I, by his band, Jimmy K & The Collectibles? From chess to hypocrisy to nuclear war, you might never have heard a set like this before.
