The Great British R&B Festival 2024

MAIN VENUES PENDLE HIPPODROME

SUNDAY 25TH AUGUST

12:30pm - 1:30pm Fruitless Forest Fruitless Forest is an enchanting folk-pop band known for their seamless fusion of nostalgic folk melodies with a modern twist. With their critically acclaimed debut album “Lullaby”, the band has captured the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide. As they gear up to perform at festivals and create new music with their upcoming second album, Fruitless Forest is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music industry.

2:00pm - 3:00pm The Mike Ross Band Kerrang! called Mike Ross “Burnt in Blues, Soaked in Soul!” — a description that holds true of Mike’s multiple facets: songwriting, multi-instrumental talents, gritty riff-busting, yet eloquent, guitarist and also his vocals, all of which come to the fore on his latest solo releases. He’s a proud DIY artist too, who writes, performs, records, produces & releases his own music. Mike Ross’s material proves him to be a man you can rely on to conjure up fuzz-charged Heavy Blues and powerful Rock, to make his guitar soar and sing, and to deliver smart-as-a-whip lyrics. Spinning rock, blues, soul and country into an intoxicating blend (reminiscent of the calm virtuosity of the Allman Brothers combined with the wild abandon of Rory Gallagher), Mike and his band are an unstoppable force of nature and an unforgettable live act.
