THE VARLIES https://www.facebook.com/thevarlies/ always a treat to see the Full Band. Formed back in the early 90's, still going strong The Varlies are a homegrown Tunbridge Wells rock band who have been delighting audiences far and wide with their own blend of music and infectious live performances. They have four albums to their name and their music ranges from a combination of high energy foot stomping tunes with funky grooves and high wire guitar riffs to beautifully crafted acoustic ballards. The band line-up consists of John Whitehorn (Lead vocal & acoustic guitar), Kev Amos (Guitar & BVs), Steve Mealing (Bass &BVs) and Paul May (Drums/Percussion) and their latest addition Carl Ebbage (Keyboards& BVs) www.thevarlies.com

DUCHJO https://www.facebook.com/duchjo/ Sir Duncan Virgoe on vocals and bass Chris Gussman on guitars Sam Garner on drums It was like someone took Prince's privates, some proggy weirdness and some groovy far-out theatrics, put them into a blender, whizzed it all up and then reformed it into a rich cake of Duncan-flavoured bass-driven rock and falsetto-infused funk

THE BIG SQUEEZE http://www.thebigsqueeze.org.uk/ The Big Squeeze are a long-standing, high quality covers band, formed in Tunbridge Wells in nineties. The band have been through a few changes in line-up but have remained committed to performing a wide range of guitar based cover versions to a high standard. The band favours songs from the 80/90’s Indie genre but can be relied upon to adapt the set to meet the occasion – be that Sixties covers, motown and soul, or more modern dance-floor fillers. Stalwarts of the set are REM, U2, Coldplay, Stereophonics, Smiths, Cure, Killers, The Jam and Razorlight.

also support from SOUL SENSATION who although retired from the gig scene for a few years are making a rare appearance with the legendary STEVE DODDS on guitar

  • the wonderful KATY VIRGOE Katy is a songwriter who started off as a solo artist performing at festivals and music events around the South East with just her voice and her guitar. Since studying at BIMM she has found a new joy in performing with other musicians giving her songs a new sound. Katy music is ever changing from having an electronic feel to an open acoustic sound depending on who is with her on stage.
