Headline Act: Nick Wilson



Nick has featured in numerous bands over the years and is currently fronting indie rock band ‘Shotgun Junky’ who have established themselves as one of Kent’s leading alternative bands. Although Nick gigs sparsely, he is very active within the industry writing and producing for other local and globally recognised artists. His own record label and studio ‘Nooley Written Music’ is one of his main focuses along with his solo career. Nick enjoys his one man shows as they allow him to express his true self. His melodic contemporary folk/rock vocals support his unique acoustic guitar playing style. With his very expressive and interestingly diverse nimble finger work, Nick delivers a distinct pure tone that effortlessly draws the listener in.

Kirsti & Josey



Kirsti & Josey have been playing and recording together for about 2-3 years, previously working on covers in productions and concerts. They have also played at small local venues, such as the Retreat, performing covers and original material. The last year has seen the duo working on their own compositions, fusing their individual creativity to produce their own unique style. Much of their music has soul, r'n'b and pop influences that focus on joining lyrics that reflect experiences in our lives with soulful, meaningful melodies and piano parts.
Kirsti has been singing all her life, performing with confidence and technical flare from a young age. Over the last few years she has been singing on popular adverts and is currently studying Music Technology at Lancaster University. Josey has been playing the piano for about 12 years and has been writing her own material since she was 13. She is currently studying a Music degree at the University of Southampton.

Lindsay Field & Mick Rose

Singer Lindsay Field and Keyboard player Mick Rose have been performing and writing music together for nearly ten years. They have appeared on numerous radio broadcasts mostly for the BBC, playing live on many occasions. These appearances include a live session and extended interview with former Radio 2 broadcaster Dave Lee Travis. Lindsay and Mick have worked as a support act on national tours notably with Paul Carrack and Bill Wyman among others. Their two most recent albums offer an interesting contrast of material. 'More Dreams Than Sense' is a collection of cover versions written by artists they particularly admire, several of which are personal friends. Included on the album are songs by Gretchen Peters, Don Mclean and Paul Carrack. Their most recent Album 'A Different Game' represents a collection of songs all written by Lindsay Field and Mick Rose. They are justly proud of this album which contains an eclectic mix of songs all of which are full of passion and highly emotive.

Greig Mourton



Greig Mourton's sound is refreshing in its honesty. Sometimes Blues, sometimes Folk, but always soulful. Sometimes political, sometimes deeply personal, but always heart-felt and poetic. Passionate singing and melodic hooks combine with insightful lyricism, bringing a real depth to his acoustic style.

Greig began his musical life as a drummer in a Heavy Metal band, but after years of touring the UK he felt musically unsatisfied. So one day he swapped the drums for guitar, packed his bags and set off to see the World. Since then Greig has experienced many different cultures and places, and become more deeply involved in political activism. It was these experiences that shaped his music and gave him the passion for song writing. While living in Mexico, playing his songs on stage for the first time, he realised that music is a truly inseparable part of his life.
