5pm The Stumble 'Without doubt one of the very best blues bands on the road today.' A blistering mix of blues, soul and old school R&B, The Stumble have been wowing audiences with the energy and virtuosity of their live performances for the past 20 years. Festival favourites in every corner of the UK and Europe, The Stumble are taking their creative talents to a new level with their stupendous 4th album, The Other Side. Expect raw power, emotion, joyous melodies, heart-breaking blues and a guaranteed good time with a band on the crest of a wave. Experience this band live now and be part of it.

6:30pm Willie and The Bandits Essentially Willie and the Bandits is a classic blues rock band much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix experience. But in a similar way to how these bands pushed the genre in their time, Willie and the Bandits try to take their sound beyond what is expected of such a traditional line up. The use of more bizarre instrumentation and eclectic influences in the song writing often pushes them more into a world music or progressive category. Having toured with artists such as Deep Purple through to the John Butler Trio and played major festivals across Europe, the band seem to leave an equally astounding impression on audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds with their

energetic and soulful performances. This is a band that is very much about discovery and one best experienced live!
