Dom Glynn

Country’s founding fathers would be proud of the sort of vintage two-steppin’ tunes that Dom Glynn plays.
In his early twenties, this singing, guitar-slinging Brit was already living for and off music, playing endless sets of songs by his American heroes in music bars and venues in and around London. He’s since mastered the canon of classic country music and has been inspired to write his own future standards. It’s a sound and vibe that gets people drinking, dancing, and simply having a great time
On his new album his songwriting echoes the spirit of legends like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr., while his guitar work recalls the elegant fingerpicking of Mississippi John Hurt and Doc Watson.

John Verity
Back by popular demand and good to see and hear him again this year!
John is one of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today, having honed his craft over more than 60 years on the circuit at every level.

Born in West Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before moving to Florida. Whilst there he opened for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mountain and others, then on his return to the UK, taking a somewhat different direction this time as front man with Argent. When Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio, producing, recording, and guesting with, among many others, Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie, Charlie, Motorhead, and Saxon.
However. live performance has always been the driving force for JV, and these days it’s easy to find John back out on the road with his own band and material, and experiencing a musical renaissance across the country

The John Verity Band currently features:
John Verity – Guitar/vocals
Chris Mansbridge – Drums
Roger Inniss – Bass
“And it would always have been difficult to follow the next act, the triumphant John Verity Band. Verity is best known for his stint as the frontman of Argent in the 1970s, but that was only a brief interruption in a 50-year solo career.”
“You are left under no illusion that you are in the hands of a proper musician and vocalist who would have no problem filling a stadium, packing out any club and bringing a festival audience to their feet. Go see him!”

Over time, all these influences inspired Rob to write songs with themes of vulnerability, intensity and heartache.

Paul Cox and The Proof
“One of Britains finest blues/soul vocalist” – Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2.

Paul Cox has been described as the “heir apparent to Chris Farlowe” and “the Pavarotti of British Blues”. He is quite simply one of the best blues/soul vocalists in the country, right up there with Paul Rodgers, Chris Farlowe and Frankie Miller in his prime. Paul Jones of Radio 2 fame cites him as one of his favourite voices.
Since his first pro gig in 1978, with a rock band from Rugby called Oyster, Paul has cut over 14 albums, opened for Ray Charles and Eric Clapton and shared the stage singing with an impressive list which includes Paul Rodgers, Snowy White, Ruby Turner, Sam Brown and Bonnie Tyler. He’s also fronted several top class bands including Frankie Miller’s Full House, John Slaughters Blues Band, Tim Hinckley’s Heart and Soul as well as his own bands, Soul Intention, The Paul Cox Band, and Fire and Water. Over the years he has picked up vast experience of festivals having played many the world over, including the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival.
Pauls’ early musical memories are of singing like those he’d heard on the radio as a teenager in the 70s and on his influences he says, “It’s probably subconscious, but more readily soul-blues style and passionate voices like Otis Redding, Al Green, Paul Rogers, Joe Cocker and Robert Plant”. In the most recent years Paul has been working primarily with the brilliant young French guitarist Charlie Fabert who has built a glowing reputation and is considered one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation. Together they have toured and released the album ‘That’s What We Were Born For’; judging by their presence across the UK this Euro partnership was certainly a successful one!
In the last few years Paul has produced several standout CD’s along with sold out appearances at RONNIE SCOTTS, THE HIDEAWAY in Streatham, toured extensively in both the UK and Europe. Also in his time he has appeared on PAUL JONES’ RADIO 2 BLUES show on six different occasions as well as a one hour Jazz FM special along with performances on RADIO WEY, BBC RADIO CAMBRIDGE and BBC OXFORD.
Highly respected for his soulful approach to his brand of rocking blues, the consummate professional who produces live performances that never disappoint. Be prepared to be entertained!! Paul Cox guarantees great music, terrific vocals and a steamy mix of original material and traditional blues!
He is supported by a truly magnificent band of great musicians in their own right with Peter Stroud on drums, Mike Summerland on guitar, Nigel Hardy on bass and Diavid “Munch” Moore on keys.
