Eagle Alley

Folk | Saturday 6th July | 5.40 pm | Folk - Abbey Stage |

A real shanty outfit:

Eagle Alley is a three voice close harmony group based in Bath and Bradford on Avon singing songs and shanties from the English tradition and further away. We love a good chorus, and sea shanties are always close at hand. Just what every Festival needs for songs of the sea and far off travels.

Mark Harrison

Blues | Saturday 6th July | 7.20 pm | Folk - Abbey Stage |

There is no one in music quite like Mark Harrison. With his band, or in solo or duo form, he is widely considered one of the most original and interesting blues based artists currently operating in the UK. His highly individual, all-original music goes down very well with audiences of all kinds, and it has taken him and the band to some of the top venues and festivals in the UK, attracting acclaim wherever he goes.
