Local singer/songwriter Steve McCormack is regarded as one of the finest performing guitarists in the local area, playing lead guitar in "The Charlie Rivers Band," "Barney Jameson and the Hollow Men," "Sevenscore" and most recently became the first ever male to join the infamous all female "Paul Duntons Crew." He has taught guitar from the age of nineteen, and Travelled all over the world playing guitar for numerous acts including a tour of California last autumn with "The Charlie Rivers Band." He also toured most of Europe last Summer with ABBA GOLD including a headline gig in the heart of Amsterdam in front of 12,000 people. His solo act allows him to play the frontman singing and performing on both 12 and 6 string guitar. Having headlined Local and Live in the past as frontman of the local Indie Band "The Rox," Steve now performs with his trio, consisting of himself and two great musicians, Jamie Latty and Matt Wilson . Jamie is also the Bass player for "The Charlie Rivers Band" whilst Matt also plays for "The Violet Jive," "Dan Clews," and Last years Headliners "Cyrano" but to name a few.

Chiddingstone based duo Ant & Fie are Anthony Vicary (guitar and vocals) and Fiona Keeler (vocals & Piano.)  Anthony was previously the frontman of local indie/rock band ‘Catching Flies'. After five years of rigorous performing all over the southeast it was decided that the band had reached a natural end leading Anthony to put down his electric guitar and explore the acoustic side of rock music. With Fiona joining more recently, this talented duo have fused together to emerge as one of the most talented and highly respected acts at the show here at The Grey Lady. Their breathtaking vocals express creative and thought provoking lyrics coupled with crafted melodies which comprises elements of folk, blues and alternative acoustic rock. The duo enjoyed their radio debut earlier this year with a recent live performance of ‘Tobacco Stained Guitar' on BBC Radio Kent. They have just released their debut EP entitled ‘The Quiet'.

Dani has been a solo performer for the last 3 years, playing at venues in Brighton and London and winning Mark Little's Southern Talent Competition. Dani had huge success with her own Fringe Festival show this year where she collaborated with other musicians for the first time. Dani has now joined forces with bassist Keith Baxter (Roadrunners) and Percussionist Sam Rico to produce a fuller sound and whom as a band have already received exciting reviews.

"Dani is an engaging performer with a charming presence on stage. Her songs have a great range and maturity and are presented with fluid subtle backing by bassist Keith Baxter and percussionist Sam Rico. A perfect mix of instrumentation for an intimate acoustic venue. She will be back!"

Steven Price, Grub Cafe and Music Bar, East Grinstead. Aug 09.

"Dani's music penetrates the depth of your soul and is performed with a sweet originality and electrifying stage presence"

Maddie Bridgett, The Maddie Live Show, November 2008

emotive songs she's destined to be entertaining us for many years to come.".

Tunbridge Wells based singer/songwriter Mystery Clarke has established himself as one of the most captivating and charismatic soloists on the local music scene. Mystery, a former town-centre busker, was also a guitarist with "Adolf Disney and the Fantasia Take-Over Band" and the front man for "Akin Drum" who enjoyed a long residency at The George Pub (now known as the TN4). Mystery has been bringing his unusual brand of blues inspired and often comical folk music to the town for several years now. Influences include the phases of the moon and the changing of the seasons. And what is the mystery? That would be telling!
