Bio
Guitarist and composer Bill Hart earned his stellar reputation as a guitarist, composer, bandleader, music educator, touring musician and recording artist. Having released six CDs as leader of his world-renowned Bill Hart Band, Bill has also proven his merit as a guitar instructor. Bill’s music book, Solo Jazz Guitar: The Complete Chord Melody Method, issued by Hal Leonard in 1999 and reissued in 2007, is an excellent tutorial for aspiring guitarists. Speaking about his role as a guitar instructor, Bill explains “I have taught students from all over the world, with interests in all styles of music, and have seen them all benefit from studying chord melody”. Among the musicians in the know that have given praises to Bill’s book are guitar heroes such as Mike Stern (“a must-have for every serious guitarist”) and Steve Khan (“Bill’s book provides you with all the tools”).

Bio
The Robin Bibi Band was born in the late 90s when Robin was inspired to start his own Texas Style Blues/ Rock band after having worked as a session man with such arists as the Pretty Things, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ben E. King and Helen Shapiro to name but a few.
The Band released their debut Album “Blue Thrash Therapy” in late 1997. Mainly blues standards with a couple of notable original songs thrown in. This album received AirPlay straight away from Paul Jones in his Jazz FM show and the band started to become popular in the live circuit. The follow up, “Language of Your Soul”, a work of mainly original material, was released to more critical acclaim in 2000.
Since then – and 8 more albums and a DVD later – the Robin Bibi Band have established themselves as one of the UK’s hardest working and most popular bands in their genre and Robin had been widely recognized as one of the UK’s finest Blues / Rock guitarists!

Keylock have unlocked the door to a treasure trove of golden rock ‘n’ roll
sounds. Taking a feather from the great bands of the 60′ s and 70′ s such as
Free and The Faces, detouring through country and roots music, psychedelic
folk and tie-dye jam bands like The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers,
blues and soul, then arriving back at their contemporaries, the likes of Rival
Sons, Blackberry Smoke and The Cadillac Three, finally stirring in a lovely
spoonful of good vibes and good will to all who want to join them.

Troy Redfern combines the rawness of Hound Dog Taylor, the free-form approach of Sonny Sharrock, the firebrand playing of Johnny Winter and the technique of Dave Hole, mixed with the ghost of Elmore James’.
There’s something about the Welsh marches. As guitarist Troy Redfern tells it, he grew up in the shadow of Hergest Ridge, made famous by Mike Oldfield. The Welsh borders - roughly that area between Hay on Way, Brecon and Hereford - might not quite evoke the arresting geography and climate of say Louisiana, but there’s something about the freedom of that area...

Scruffy Bear bring new energy to rock music. Comprised of Georgy Eaton,

After slots at the Ritz in Manchester, Rockmantic Festival & supporting acts such as Divinity Roxx & Hands Off Gretel, the band are known to capture any audience in the palm of their hand.
2020 has already given the band their 3rd sold out headline Manchester show, first UK tour and the release of their 4th single “Pebbles”. The band are currently working on their debut EP set to be released later in the year.
