ENTERTAINING MR STONE
Rye based band - original songs plus imaginative covers (Leonard Cohen, Beatles, Johnny Cash, Stranglers and more), all played with intensity and flair; music for bobbing around, singing along, and wiping away the odd tear; a semi-acoustic trio rooted in post-punk South London, filtered through the gentler country air of East Sussex and Kent: get ready to be entertained!

FIT 2 FUNK
Get ready to groove with Fit 2 Funk. This dynamic five-piece, female-fronted group brings high-energy performances packed with the greatest soul, funk, Motown, and pop classics - including Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, Incognito Chic and Rose Royce. They also give the Fit2Funk treatment to current performers such as Sebrina Carpenter, Chappel Roan and Lola Young. With exceptional vocals, rich harmonies, and top-tier musicianship on guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards (featuring stunningly realistic horns, strings, and synths), Fit 2 Funk guarantees an electrifying live experience.

FORESTFLOOR
Dan Addison and Si Norton are forestfloor, a slowcore duo making thoughtful acoustic music with nods towards Bon Iver, Adrianne Lenker, and Radiohead. The format is unplugged and unassuming, a narrowed-down sonic palette that places emphasis on songwriting craft. The result is a direct, dynamic mix of intricate guitar interplay and emotive vocal harmonies.

LUCY MAY WALKER
