15:45 – 16:45: Nothing In Rambling

Sister Suzie and Andy Twyman, performing as Nothing in Rambling, take audiences on a soulful, playful journey through the blues of Mississippi and Louisiana, covering legends like Memphis Minnie, Blind Boy Fuller, and Elmore James. Their shared passion for early blues fuels performances rich in humour, heart, and authenticity.

Festival favourites across the UK and Europe - including Glastonbury and Red Rooster - they blend Suzie’s powerhouse vocals and stage charisma with Andy’s deft guitar work and one-man-band flair. Together, they celebrate the spirit, mischief, and emotional depth of classic blues and gospel, delivering shows full of charm, chemistry, and powerful storytelling. 17:15 – 18:15: Steve Ferbrache Steve Ferbrache delivers original transatlantic folk-roots with award-winning songwriting, poetic lyrics, and masterful finger-style guitar. Saved from a troubled youth by North Wales folk clubs, he later toured globally with Americana/roots band The Achievers. His solo work charts a powerful personal journey - from mental illness to healing and fatherhood - using music to inspire and connect. Drawing from British folk and American roots traditions, his songs are rich in message and melody. Known for his stagecraft, storytelling, and warm, engaging presence, Steve’s performances are both moving and uplifting - offering honesty, hope, and a deep connection between artist and audience.
