MAIN VENUES THE MINI MUNI

SUNDAY 28th AUGUST

6:45pm Five Points Gang 2022 UK Blues Federation “Best Emerging Artist” nominees Five Points Gang is a London based blues trio. They blend brand new original material with smokin’ hot classic blues. The band has hugely diverse influences, which breathes new life into the blues genre. Their debut album, WANTED, released on Lunaria Records in October 2021, has received enormous critical acclaim (Blues from The Ouse “Album of

The Year”) due to great song writing, exceptional musicianship and its fresh perspective on blues. The Gang are best known for their dynamic live performances, leaving audiences exhausted and somehow screaming for more. Five Points Gang is a truly

international band - in the words of one reviewer, “A Welshman, a Frenchman, and Brazilian walk in to a bar... and blow the place apart!” Don’t miss these guys! 8:30pm Mark Pontin Group Mark is making a name for himself as one of the best guitar players in South Wales

and his band are definitely worth a watch! Mark has firmly established himself in the UK blues/rock scene as an artist to take notice of. A multiple blues award nominee and stalwart guitar player, Mark, signed by Lunaria Records, once again shows his skills on this record as a man of many talents. The band follow their critically acclaimed album ‘Textures’ with their third album, ‘Kaleidoscope.’

10:15pm The Simon Hough Band

The Simon Hough Acoustic Quartet is fronted by Big Country singer Simon Hough, playing an anthology set of songs from artists he has worked alongside over the past 35 years, along with his own, fantastic self-penned material.
