He has performed with a wide range of acts from afro-beat projects, through to jazz combos, folk trios and various Duos. His solo material is largely folk based, but with hints of his other experiences coming through at times.  Following his debut EP release, ‘It’s always Darkest Before the Break of Dawn’, Harry has moved to Truro, Cornwall, to further his studies in contempory jazz. A strong voice complimented by elegant guitar work, Harry is starting to get his foot through the door!

Front man Viv Robertson is lead vocalist and also plays 12 & 6 string acoustic guitars & harmonicas; Simon Farnell plays bass guitar; Andy Pay lead guitar and Barry Kelly drums. Although they play a wide variety of rock covers, folk and reggae, they will be doing a mainly blues set to complement the other varied genres which make up the day's programme.

Flats and Sharps

“Flats and Sharps may be one of the newest names on the British Bluegrass/Folk scene… Oh but what a band!” They started to make a name for themselves while busking in Penzance in Cornwall. Gigs soon followed , they went to Sore Fingers Week, getting a standing ovation in the Student concert. "A first!" That led to festival gigs at Orwell, Didmarton, Gower and the Cornish Bluegrass Festival. Not a bad result for a two song performance! They play bluegrass for the love of it and thrill audiences with their harmonies and the way the harmonies engage with their instruments. The band's aim is “to put a smile on your face, get your toes a tappin’ and make you feel good”.

The Lost Ark Band are based in Belgium around it’s leader Brecht de Buuver. He is also a painter and a film maker of some status and the band is a very creative unit, committed to reggae music and reggae philosophy. With G T Moore they play what might be called “their own free flowing roots style” with original lyrics and an almost “folk” sound.
