Musicians confirmed so far…
THE HONEY POT
Playing a blend of Sixties psyche that has its boots in the past but its head in the future, they draw on that unique English inheritance of the surreal and the strange, but are not afraid to indulge in an American West-Coast style adventure when the mood takes them.
SITTING PRETTY
Returning to the festival, Sitting Pretty are Plymouth’s finest Original Indie/Rock Band. Fast becoming favourites in the local Music scene writing and performing all their own material.
MICK O’TOOLE
Mick O’Toole are a five piece southern cider swilling folk band from the deepest darkest Shire! Guaranteed to make any night go down a storm this band will have you foot tapping and tankard slamming along to a number of Irish classics and original belters. .
.
THE STRANGE & THE BEAUTIFUL
These five Devon-based musicians got it together in the early-part of 2014. From the earliest rehearsals it soon became clear that this thing had legs. We can’t wait to see them!
More acts to be announced soon!
