Jim King:
Songwriter, performer, musician, singer, a splendid entertainer who has made the Acoustic Zone his own for many years. With Jim on duty as compére, you can expect the show to be punctuated with wit, pathos and fun.
Steven Clark:
Songwriter...Steven’s songs range over many different subjects - all the way from the philosophical insights afforded by a pigeon, or the restorative properties of Our Other National Drink, to fury over conflict and other lunacies of our time. His songs keep cropping up, recorded by such as The McCalmans and Ian Bruce, and becoming part of so many others’ set lists. Steven’s approach is simplicity – but presented with perfection.
Clova:
Life’s journey, however bitter, is all the sweeter for having had the story told by this band. Clova wears its heart on its collective sleeve, lyrical acoustic guitar; mellow, heartbreaking fiddle; gentle vocals and sparky mandolin will win your heart. With each song, Clova will break your heart or win it.
The Easy Orchestra:
Their unique sound draws from 60s, Pop, Lounge and Jazz, they rework modern classics to fit their easy listening vibe that includes versions of The Kaiser Chiefs ‘Predict a Riot’ and Gun ‘n’ Roses ‘Paradise City’. They deliver an energetic, upbeat sound with driving rhythm that complement Mark’s luxurious vocals and Iain’s rich harmonies.
