Nick Harper
Music
Support from Gil Karpas
Son of legendary Roy Harper, Nick Harper is at the forefront of a new generation of British acoustic performers. He's a folk troubadour with a touch of rock 'n' roll on the side.
His music style encompasses personal introspection to biting political satire via a charmingly caustic wit. He often segues from his own compositions to well-loved covers he makes his own, taking on Presley, Zappa, Jeff Buckley and Public Enemy (yes, on an acoustic guitar). He dazzles audiences with a heady mix of virtuosity, boyish charm, showmanship and sheer bravado.
'One of the finest guitarists of his generation, his soaring vocal range and propensity for epic song place him somewhere between Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley' (Mojo magazine).

Under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult. Bar open from 7pm.
Gomez
Music
Mercury Music Prize winners
Fresh from Australian and US tours, including an appearance at SXSW, Gomez hit the road in support of their sixth studio album A New Tide.
A wide range of styles is incorporated into Gomez's matchless musical brew. Flavours of Delta blues, psychedelia and Krautrock all come into play, resulting in a musically mischievious and remarkably forward-thinking sound. Their new material marks a return to the band's more experimental roots, born out of boundless imagination and a longstanding collaborative relationship.
Under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult. Bar open from 7pm.
