This is a past event.
Headline Act: The Alamo
The Alamo are an acoustic trio from the Tunbridge Wells area, made up of lead singer Jack Ferguson, guitarist Ben Kitson, and guitarist and singer Max Kotz. They have been writing their own music since shortly their formation in early 2012. Taking inspiration from a wide variety of genres, from older bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, to more modern artists like Ed Sheeran, they have been performing at various venues having recently taken their first steps into the gigging world. Ben and Jack have both played in bands previously, with Jack’s band having played at numerous locations such as the Stag Theatre Sevenoaks, and featured on Kent Fm Radio. As well as continuing to write music as ever, The Alamo have more recently recorded a series of demos which are all available to listen to and download for free online. They are now working towards an EP, which will hopefully be available soon.
Lights On The Mountain
Lights on the Mountain are a Kent based band who write and perform contemporary folk music. They are a new musical project started up by the band formerly known as Threeforagirl. Lights on the Mountain perform music influenced by traditional British and American folk styles, bluegrass and Americana as well as more contemporary folk, indie and blues bands. As musicians they have together toured the London circuit, the United States and more recently have become prominent on the Scottish music scene, playing at the very first Sofar Sounds Edinburgh. They love playing at the Grey Lady, their favourite home venue.

Declan Foster
Declan Foster is a singer and songwriter who has been writing and performing for around 5 years. With a wide vocal range complemented by guitar and piano he plays songs with a wide range of influences, from classical to hip hop, metal to folk. 2014 finds him honing his sound and style with more focus than before with a full set of new material and a more varied and energetic live performance.
Natalia Gonzalez-Morales
Ever since being taught 'Tears in Heaven' by her dad when she was 12, Natalia decided to learn how to cover favourite artists such as City and Colour, Damien Rice, and Ben Howard. She's been writing her own material for a year or so now and although simple in melody, she hopes her songs bring some peace of mind to those willing to listen. She's still happily influenced by those artists who she would often cover in school concerts (and in her bedroom)
