| Larry Miller |
| Larry put on a stunning show last year, his explosive style of blues rock harks back to the glory days of Rory Gallagher and Robin Trower. He returns this year with his band for what we hope will be as mesmorising as last year! New album 'Outlaw Blues' out now! www.larrymiller.co.uk |
| RoadRunner |
| RoadRunner took the main support last year on the B-Stage, serving up a thourough dosage of blues based rock n' roll. What amazes us about these guys is that they're only in their late teens, yet their own music harks back to the rock n' roll days of the Faces and early 70's Stones! One to watch for sure! www.myspace.com/roadrunneronline |
