Acoustic music!
Naked Without It comprises two very talented singer songwriters; Tony Pooley and Martin Kennedy, who originally got together in the 1990s. ‘Real life’ then took over with Tony and Martin going their separate ways. Martin forged a successful career in music as a session guitarist and music teacher and with Tony, releasing two albums, four Eps and a couple of singles. Listen on Spotify.
We are delighted to have them back; Martin is currently on tour as lead guitarist in The Tremeloes so we are lucky that he was able to be with us for our February show.
Annie and Ella play originals and 90s covers, influenced by life, they want the songs to sound genuine and easy on the ear. Relatively new to the scene, like all creative things the music will keep reforming. The sound is eclectic but laid back.
Chris Albery-Jones is a singer-songwriter who has been writing and performing music for 30+ years in a wide range of bands - from punk to big band, funk to folk. He currently performs original material, landing somewhere in the vicinity of folk/rock/pop.
Dog and Whistle are late comers to the folk scene, but who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? They love traditional old folk songs – sadder the better – but also mix in the more contemporary. Julia Hopkinson sings and Roger Davis plays guitar and accordion.
New to Peppard
Dream Sellers a leading Reading folk rock band playing both covers and original material. You can see them regularly in the pubs, clubs, music venues and festivals in Berkshire, including Reading Minster, the Purple Turtle, Moonrakers and the Facebar. They launched the music for charity programme, Raze the Roof, collecting funds for the Royal Berkshire Cancer Centre. New to Peppard
Joe Riverman has been writing songs since about 1985. His heroes are Beatles, Bowie, Joni, Hendrix, Dylan, Springsteen, Baez and all the post punk stuff from around 1977 to 1987. Listen to him on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube
New to Peppard
Searching for Autumn is an acoustic duo playing original music, with haunting melodies and lyrics guaranteed to capture the audience's ear. See also Spotify.
Steve Donnelly has been singing and playing the guitar for most of his life and has a love affair with folk music. He brings a mix of traditional and self-penned songs.
