14:00 – 15:00 COLD FLAME Cold Flame are a very experienced and popular original blues rock band based in Derbyshire, England formed in 1984 by vocalist/bass guitarist Pat Rowbottom. Though known for their original music, Cold Flame also perform classic rock and blues covers playing the music of various classic bands including Jimi Hendrix. Cream and Fleetwood Mac. With a stable line up for almost two decades, it is not surprising that Cold Flame have an enviable reputation across the country as a quality live act.

16:30 – 17:30 THE TREVOR BABAJACK TRIO Trevor Babajack is an English musician, his music is influenced by his acquired passion for early rural Blues, mixed with the sounds of rhythmic African roots, in what can only be described as his own genre of original and seemingly improvised music, that makes him a thrilling and unique artist. His travels have taken him the length of the UK, across Europe and Africa, headlining Blues and Roots festivals and from little French cafés to The Royal Albert Hall. Trevor has veered from his musical path by combining the deliciously soaring violin from Jo Chambers and the energetic and driving percussion of Jesse Benns, creating a fresh and exciting new sound that is now the ‘Trevor Babajack Trio’.
