The Occasional Orchestra
2019-07-13 21:00 - 2019-07-14 00:00
This band of five men and one woman have made it their mission over recent years to play their uplifting and intelligent songs to appreciative audiences across the UK and beyond. They have an ever growing back catalogue of recorded singles and albums, most recently working with top Producer Matt Terry (The Enemy, Don Broco) to produce their finest album to date Urban Foxes, crowd funded by the band’s loyal following on Kickstarter.
The combination of compelling hooks, sweet harmonies, insightful lyrics and accomplished musicianship has led them to be described as “The Mumford and Sons you don’t want to punch” by Richard O’Hagan of RNR magazine. Not that The Occasional Orchestra would hold with punching fellow musicians of course.
A BBC radio session in 2018 followed the release of Glue – a single to raise money for valuable music therapy for sufferers of dementia. The authentic and moving video has so far been viewed by half a million people.
The band’s passion is playing live in all manner of venues in the UK and beyond, and their energetic and committed performances are very well received by festival crowds and small venue goers alike where their unique blend of story-telling and song-writing seems to have captured a mood.

Irene Rae
2019-07-27 21:00 - 2019-07-28 00:00
Irene Rae mixes emotional lyrics and a powerful yet delicate vocal with entertaining and funny stories about life, love and places her travels have taken her. She support artists that include Midge Ure, Hazel O’Connor, John Power, The Levellers (acoustic), The Jigantics and Declan Bennett. Irene’s style and lyrics have been compared to Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, Eddi Reader, Lisa Loeb and Bic Runga whilst remaining uniquely her own.
2019 sees the release of ”The Light Game” – the first full band album by Irene Rae featuring ten songs that showcase her delicate, yet powerful voice combined with raw and honest songwriting. The record was conceived from a determination to capture the essence and intimacy of her live shows.
