Easter Extravaganza - Ticket only, Friday 2nd April 2010

Popular local four-piece band Origami Dinosaur was created by Kinsey Green (lead vocals) and Mejelon Majones (lead Guitar/vocals) in a loft in the English town of Tunbridge Wells. Through their combined love of music and passion for all things strange and beautiful, they wrote songs to inspire a disillusioned youth, or just to make them smile. Their style gets its distinction from the very wide influences of the band, rooted in blues and funk but certainly not defined by it, this is giant riffs with quirky beats, disco funk bass and male/female vocal jam insanity. Refreshingly different, obscenely odd, there is nothing quite like origami dinosaur! Funky drummer Robin O'Keeffe joined the band in 2008 followed by bass extraordinaire, MOLE...the band’s very own flea, and on occasion they are joined by special guest, disco mentalist: 'Afro Joe'. The band have an exciting 2009 planned, now officially sold out of the first 2 E.P's, both recorded at local studio 'lo-tek' by producers bombay monkey. new recordings are on their way and are taking new direction and style. Now half the group resides in Brighton, they are dividing their time between their home town and their new town!

Originally formed as a three piece back in 2001, indie rock band, Cyrano, soon became a foursome with the addition of lead guitarist, Karl Barton. From this moment on, their sound was born. With influences from bands like Pearl Jam and Elbow, Cyrano have crafted a unique blend of thoughtfully written songs, rock guitars and Tom Yorke-esque vocals resulting in a hugely melodic sound.The band are currently in the final stages of producing their much anticipated debut Album with London based producer, Paul Castle (Eminem/Blondie). The band’s line up is, Joe Ackerley on Vocals and guitar, Matt Wilson on drums, Tim Hubbard on bass and vocals, and Karl Barton on lead guitar.

A regular solo performer at the Grey Lady and Local and Live festival since 2007, Barney Jameson has put down his guitar, picked up a microphone, and is now proud to bring a new band to the Kent music scene in the formidable shape of Barney Jameson & The Hollow Men.

Adding to Barney’s mix of melancholic melodies, soaring vocals and passionately honest lyrics are the guitar fireworks of Steve McCormack, the precision drumming of Matt Wilson, the lullaby piano of David Robinson and the grooves of Sam Nesbitt on bass. This band is defined by the creativity of its members - some of the best known and talented musicians to have played the Grey Lady stage. The result blends the pop-sensibilities of Elbow with Buckleyesque vocal pyrotechnics and the direct soul, honesty and heart of latter-day Johnny Cash.

If you’ve seen Barney perform before and think you know what to expect, then think again.

Joanne's musical apprenticeship has been rich and varied ranging from classical, through folk and jazz to popular music. She sang in Opus XVI, a London Chamber Choir for 5 years before moving onto backing vocals for the trip hop band 'Auburn'. In 2001, while nursing a hot chocolate in a Tofino coffeehouse, she re-discovered Joni Mitchell who has proved to be a strong musical influence for Joanne. Bought up against the harsh yet dramatic landscape of the Cambridgeshire fens, Joanne's forte is acapella. Fans and critics alike have commented that she has a voice which "makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck''. Joanne's folk roots/blues style encompasses elements of this varied musical background with lyrics that combine observation of the natural, spiritual and emotional.

With influences such as modern day artists; Ben Folds, Anthony & The Johnsons, Burt Bacharach and composers such as Barber and Rachmaninov, Kent based singer-songwriter Paul Dunton offers something unique! Paul’s music is best described as a captivating fusion of popular contemporary and classical. He composes and performs both instrumental pieces and songs. He is due to provide the soundtrack for an upcoming international film release. For smaller intimate shows Paul (piano/vocals) performs with along side his quartet know as the ‘Crew’. The atmospheric and ethereal live sound features Cello, violins and Flute. Paul is due to release his third album at the beautiful King Charles Martyr Church near The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells on Friday June 11th. That concert will see both Paul giving away a free signed copy of his new album entitled ‘Escapism; to all who come and paul will be performing alongside his ‘full’ crew known as The Paul Dunton Orchestra which comprises a line up of 10 violins, 5 cellos, Flute, Guitar, Percussion and vocalist Fiona Keeler.
