Acoustic music!
Jess Tuthill is a singer-songwriter from Reading. She plays original material, taking inspiration from her surroundings, which regularly including television and computer games… For the last 8 years, her instrument of choice has been the ukulele, mainly so she can feel like a giant when she plays.
Bearwood is Amanda Shora on vocals and flute, and Steve Jackson on guitar and vocals. They perform a mixture of self-penned, traditional and contemporary songs, and love playing at festivals and in the intimate settings of folk and acoustic music clubs in the Home Counties.

Graham Swannell the Greenman of Folk takes the spotlight on guitar and a Cappello . . . . with a strong voice! You might have come across Graham at Bunkfest, where he organises the Troubadour events.
