TRIALS OF CATO This will be Trials of Cato's first visit and we are really excited to welcome them as part of their Autumn 2022 album tour.

Their remarkable rise on the UK folk-scene has been the subject of massive critical attention. Dubbed "the Sex Pistols of folk,” (J Davis) they pay clear homage to the tradition whilst twisting old bones into something febrile and modern, with stomping tunes and captivating stories.

Formed in Beirut, the band returned to the UK in 2016 and set to performing tirelessly up and down the country, leading to BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe hailing them as “one of the real discoveries on the folk circuit in recent times.” Their debut album, Hide and Hair, gained attention in national publications, receives repeated national airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music, and won Best Album at the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

STEVIE JONES & THE WILDFIRES Following in the footsteps of Steve Earle and The Dukes or Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Stevie Jones and The Wildfires deliver their own unique blend of modern alternative rock centred around powerful acoustic-based songwriting. With a number of line up changes over the last decade they have released two studio albums and a live EP receiving favourable reviews and airplay including BBC Introducing, Planet Rock and BBC Radio Scotland.

CHEVVY CHASE STOLE MY WIFE They like to play music and they like to have fun. What's not to like
