MARCUS BONFANTI
Playing here with his full band, Marcus Bonfanti is one of the country’s emerging blues-rock guitarists with a flair for guitar picking in a range of styles.  He’s been likened to Seasick Steve and has had the honour of opening for Chuck Berry, as well as becoming a hit at last year’s SXSW.  His second album, ‘What Good Am I’ has been well received by fans and critics alike and references a range of the greats from Link Wray to Tony Joe White to Led Zeppelin, but he still gets across a style which is very much his own.
“Marcus Bonfanti deserves to become the next British blues-guitar hero” – The Guardian
“He is fantastic live” – Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2.

PHILADELPHIA MAIN LINE
Scuzz blues duo, Philadelphia Main Line mix the raw blues power of the White Stripes and the swagger of John Spencer Blues Explosion and are a live act not to be missed. They’ve impressed at every show they’ve played, leading them to the finals of 2009’s Red Stripe Music Awards. Their sonic show sends shivers down spines and moves the audience to frenzied excitement. Finger-shredding riffs and larynx-bursting vocals are backed up by thunderous drum explosions pinched with jazzy fills. They’re a must-see and since the end of the White Stripes, the best scuzz-rock-blues duo around.
