Rosie Garrard & Chris Webb - singer/songwriter with gently disarming songs, accompanied by the very fine guitar playing of Chris Webb
Owl in the Sun - melody driven original songs rooted in folksy Americana and gypsy jazz
Daisy Chapman - songs with a haunting beauty and romantic intensity, and a voice that ranges from a whisper to a “Herculean howl”
All the Fires - this six-piece band from the far west of Cornwall flawlessly combine modern folk with rock, country and classic sentiment
The Hand - a local band born from musicians who met while working on the ferryboats in Bristol Harbour
Horn Ash - progressive electro-acoustic folk music with strings and a huge array of harmonies
