John Spiers & Jon Boden are well known for their involvement as founding members of the big band folk phenomenon that is Bellowhead. They have played together as a duo for over 10 years now and have established themselves as a very well respected act on the English traditional music scene.
Together they play fiddle, guitar, assorted squeezebox instruments, a stomp box and they both sing – a combination which sounds like a two-man-one-man-band! Their music is equally at home playing to 50 people in the intimate setting of the back room of a pub, or 10,000 on the main stage at...

The National Theatre Live Screening from London of 'This House' - a new play by James Graham
It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes.

Festival faves Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs play wild acoustic versions of classic tunes interspersed with on-stage antics guaranteed to get you bouncing and laughing. Tramp-rock at its finest, irreverent, cheeky and ferociously funny!
Pyrates play sea shanties with attitude, which always turns into a sing-along, amidst a veritable Arh-mageddon of naughty nautical chants ‘n’ cheers.
