Fastest to Canada

Imagine Fairport Convention without the jigs and reels! The Grateful dead without the endless hours of guitar solos!. Take That without the chubby one who ate all the pies!
What you do get is an eclectic roots sound drawing on original, contempory and traditional music.
This may be folk rock but don't panic! There's a whole lot of fun to be had with songs of misery, death, work related health problems and sailing!

A rare chance to see Lorraine playing locally with her full band line up as she stops off from zipping around other parts of the country.

The Communicators

Critically acclaimed Ska band from the South West.
Formed in the early part of 2005 The Communicators began their journey as a covers band performing to sell out audiences across the country, playing tracks from the Specials, Bad Manners and Madness - plus many more. As their audiences have grown, so has their repertoire - finally culminating in the launch of their debut original album "Care in the Communicators".
With a banging back line consisting of Drums, Bass, Percussion & Keyboards! Coupled with a red hot guitar player, a Brass section Bad Manners would be proud of, great backing vocals and a front man that cuts the mustard not only vocally but in his skanking attitude also, The Communicators are a must see for any one that has ever worn a pair of Dr Martins or a Crombie!
