ACCOUSTIC MARQUEE

Show of Hands - confirmed
with Miranda Sykes

Show of Hands represent a constituency silent in British music and British life: the rural poor. Their best songs are a litany of complaints about the fate of a south-west of England with "no trains, no jobs, no shops, no pubs".
“Brilliant - one of the finest folk duos ever to grace the scene” – Mike Harding BBC Radio 2.
“A great festival band” – Johnnie Walker , BBC Radio 2.
“ Knightley and Beer champion a counterculture – with scant mainstream media exposure they have built a mighty word-of-mouth following that fills venues from Northern arts centres to the Albert Hall” – Colin Randall, Telegraph.

The Radars Cancelled
"Radars are compelling from the get-go. Michael Rattray’s crisp and clear vocals pull you in and refuse to let you go. There’s no pretension or posing here. Radars play songs you feel like singing along to on their first listen". Tom Brogan, Artrocker

Nicky Swann - confirmed.
Solo acoustic artist Nicky Swann is a singer songwriter/guitarist from South Devon. She is a performer who effortlessly combines talent and grace, ability and daring. Her soulful, heartfelt vocals and emotionally honest songs combine with an impish stage presence to create a direct connection with her audience. Real shivers stuff.
