Friday Line-up

Four brilliant acts

Aisling O'Shea

There is beauty and poetry in Aisling's voice. She is a folk singer and songwriter living and playing music in Bristol.

Her music is inspired by a deep connection to her Irish heritage and her experience as a daughter and granddaughter of Irish immigrants.

Pilot Scheme

Earworms, mind treats, and all-important info about Mind Your Music from the Bristol story-song guy. A short set ahead of his set at Sunday's finale.

Listen on Bandcamp

Big However

Fans of offbeat, catchy, observational music will swoon at this Bristol-based art-folk-garage-indie-collective. Using discarded musicians sourced locally. Melodic, intelligent, yet unintelligent popular music. Non-iconic & sustainable. "Poignant".

Cello, mandolin, guitars, bass, drums, trumpet and soaring harmonies.

Slippery Slope

Slippery Slope induces a right old shimmy and a-shake from the tips of your fingers to the tips of your toes. Festival favourites for 13 years, they take in everything from Klezmer to Britney along with some unlikely surprises.

Expect original songs and a fair sharing of get-you-up-on-your-feet versions of Misirlou (Pulp Fiction main theme), Irving Berlin's Putting on the Ritz, and the lovely Amelie waltz by Yann Tiersen.
