Plum Loco
North Dorset band, Plum Loco are extraordinary. Tuneful witty lyrics delivered to a tight hypnotic groove, their music combines melodic and rhythmic surprise with the experience of being on the receiving end of a warm, chocolatey musical hug.
Steve West
Steve has been a fixture of the New Forest folk scene for so long that we suspect that he has grown roots! With a discerning ear for a story and an eye for an injustice, Steve’s carefully crafted original songs explore universal themes which he delivers with a soft passion that belies their depth and scope.
Pete Hanson
Pete Hanson is one of those songwriters who can find a song in the muddle of everyday life. Based in the New Forest, he’s a regular face on the local folk scene, playing at Milford Folk Club and in church worship bands.
Jon Ellis
Jon is deeply attached to Lymington and neighbouring villages although he lived away in Southampton for forty years. As a multi-instrumentalist, Jon will have a crack at anything involving a tin whistle, banjo, mandolin, and even the occasional ‘Poem of Protest’!
Dave Broom
Dave is afflicted by the rare medical condition of ‘Mandolin Acquisition Disorder’ (or MAD). “I was at a party and somebody passed me one – it was only a small one – and I thought I couldn’t come to any harm if I just tried it.” 25+ mandolines later we’re not so sure…
We Are Robot
Based in the coastal New Forest, We Are Robot play sunny upbeat rock & pop songs bursting with energy. They are the perfect band for any celebration with their infectious music instantly creating a great vibe one minute and having people up on their feet dancing the next.
Rangoon
Gritty realism? Rising body count? Relationships gone wrong? That, in a nutshell, is Rangoon. Defiantly original yet with the powerful drive of the blues, the live performances of this band are electrifying.
The Mighty Heartache
Defiantly untamed, The Mighty Heartache is a startlingly original band with a range of totally unique songs. We’ve attended gigs where the audience sighs at a heartfelt ballad one minute then bounces to their feet the next to a raunchy rockabilly number.
