Ragati String Band

Ragati String Band was formed with one thing in mind . . To get the crowd's toes tapping to 'FootStomping' songs & tunes!  The combination of Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo, Fiddle with a good dosing of T-Chest Bass thrown in is just the mix we love.
Its Roots, Swamp, Skiffle & Jug with Attitude played as Raw as it comes! And when we're enjoying ourselves then the crowd is sure to be enjoying it too!!

Porvari

When a rock man met a folk man and they were still talking to each other after over 25 years they thought they’d maybe use their differences to create something really unique. And it worked!
Local band Porvari are guitarist, singer and songwriter Sam Whimpenny and multi instrumentalist Simon Meader performing this year in their acoustic guise.
