What’s On and When
Andy is a contemporary one man blues band - a unique
act that delivers off-beat blues and raucous rock and roll
with surrealist humour. The topics of his songs range
from Pot Noodle to the Meaning Of Life via Luxembourg
and chickens. His musicianship is second to none
playing drums, guitar, and harmonica simultaneously, as
well as singing live.
Andy started playing music in pubs and clubs from the
age of 12. Inspired by the blues greats, he developed his
own one man band sound. He has become a
professional musician gigging at many venues and
festivals all over the UK, and has also been featured in
‘Blues in Britain’ and ‘Blues Matters’ Magazines.
Andy Twyman
Described as "like a young Billie Holiday gate-crashing a Tom Waits Swordfishtrombones recording session", blues and roots duo Ma Polaine's Great Decline follow their debut album with a third EP release, Small Town Talk. Recorded in 2015 and engineered and co-produced by BBC Folk Award winner Ben Walker, the 4-track EP draws influence from a typically wide breadth of genres.
From the start Beth Packer and Clinton Hough always sought to keep their song-writing influences open. A strong base of blues is there, with jazz and country also holding sway, original writing is the focus, with oddness, sparsity and a subtle quality that is their own. There is a freedom for Packer to explore her vocal qualities and lyric writing, creating tales of haunting beauty, veiled sorrow, and a darker image of happiness.

The live band has moved through several line-ups and have recently returned to their roots as a duo. On stage, Packer moves between double bass, accordion and harmonica, with Hough on electric or acoustic guitar and an occasional percussive foot, all accompanying Packer's powerful yet sensitive vocal.
Rainbreakers 4.50pm
Laura Holland Band 6.20pm

The Laura Holland Band is a seven-piece British blues band taking inspiration from the golden
ages of Chess and Stax Records. Fronted by singer and songwriter Laura Holland, the London-
based band play an organic set of original compositions mixed with lesser-known, but historically
significant, songs from the blues and soul legends of the 50s and 60s. Live and in the studio the
band work the old fashioned way, with tape, valves, vintage instruments and alcohol.

What’s On and When
Rainbreakers are a four piece rock outfit
that create a raw and hard-hitting
sound. Influences can be heard from a
range of different styles that echo back
to the stylings of the late 60s and 70s,
layering a combination of rock, pop,
blues and soul. Holding on to tradition,
but by no means purists, Rainbreakers
indicate a fascination with older artists
such as Free and Hendrix, yet the band
draws significant influence from the
contemporary sounds of The Black
Keys, Gary Clark Jr and Monophonics.
Since their formation in 2012, Rainbreakers have played countless amounts of shows at club
venues and festival stages, resulting in the development of their own sound that truly represents
themselves as well as the experiences they share. The band’s impassioned and fervent live
performance has given leverage to acquire a strong and honest following in their hometown and
across the country.
