Not Real Young - 19 July

Are you one of those who never really understood what Neil Young was singing about but just knew what he meant? Can you recite all the lyrics (but just dont ask me to explain them)? Then you will love Not Real Young, a tribute to the master of 70s acoustic music. Mixing Bluegrass with Neil Young favourites, this bunch of ageing hippies play homage to days gone but not forgotten. Old man, Heart of Gold, Out on the Week End, the list goes on. We may not know all your favourites, but we do know ours.

Not Real Young consists of Bill Edwards (guitar), Jeff Harper (guitar, harp, accordian), Jim McLean (bass), Noel Watson (banjo), Jackie Saunders (fiddle and cello) and Rob Saunders (mandolin).

Stockade - 19 July

Stockade released their debut CD,  “Common Man” in 2008Acoustic  Roots & Blues dipped in Folk Rock with  a slice  of Celticon the side and a splash  of Gypsy Jazz to wash it all down!

“They play great music, and love playing it… ”,    “create a magic that makes everyone feel included…”      “such a BIG sound…”       “a lively, spirited and professional performance…”
