It’s with great regret that sadly this event has had to be cancelled. I’m sure it has not come as a surprise. It’s such a shame as a lot of hard work has already gone into this booking bands and setting up sponsors and advertising. I would like to thank the team in all there efforts so far and the parish council for wanting to make this happen. On a good note I can say we will be back next year bigger and better and we wish you all the very best in health and hope everyone is staying safe. 🙏🏼

THE LAST ACT.

This gives me great pleasure being able to announce this last act. What an honour that I have been able to book a very good friend of mine who I have toured with on and off for the last 10 years. BEN POOLE. This man has gone from strength to strength over the last 10 years touring all across Europe and the USA, just check him out on Google or YouTube. Ben has agreed to do this gig In between some very busy tour dates and has as asked to play a different Set to the norm, pulling out some old blues classics and a couple of his original tracks. Joining him will be another good friend of mine Craig Bacon on drums who I look at as one of UK’s finest drummers I have toured with Craig on and off for the last 20 years. So then there comes the bass player that will be joining them? Myself Barry Pethers. This will be a lot of fun to be back on stage again with these guys.

Thanks Ben and Craig for wanting to be part of this day and thank you Ben for inviting me to play this gig with you. 🤘🏼🙏🏼

The 5th act to be announced. I can feel with Gemma Dorsett, and Jenna Hooson that this next act is most definitely coming together with these two for a bit of GIRL POWER.

RUBY & THE REVELATORS
Fronted by the amazing Olivia Stevens and backed by her fabulous band. I have been lucky enough to share the stage with Olivia a couple of times now and in my mind she is up there with the best of them! We will all have great fun with these guys on and off the stage.

Drawing comparisons with some of the all time greats such as Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin, Olivia Stevens is wowing audiences with her impassioned and captivating performances that channel both the groove of Stax era soul, and the authentic emotion of blues-fuelled torch singers such as Etta James and Aretha Frranklyn. Backed by her smoking hot band Ruby & The Revelators have performed at some of the UK's most prestigious blues and soul festivals. Their debut album WALK WITH ME reached number two in the IBBA chart as well as achieving BBC airplay. Expect a performance of raw and unadulterated passion that will move both your feet and your heart, coupled with a voice that "combines smooth-but-not-too-smooth soul with lived-in world-weariness, gritty oomph and playful sass...."

PRESS QUOTES:
"a must see live act on the UK blues scene..." Steve Yourglivtch - Blues Matters "pours joy into every note...the next big thing on the UK blues scene!" Paul Clack - Blues In Britain
"Olivia has a bitchin voice!" Geno Washington.

Thank you guys for wanted to be part of this wonderful day. 🤘🏼🙏🏼
