Your hosts, Driven Serious return with their seventh annual folkish extravaganza, bringing you high octane and passionate local and notional acts. With two acts already announced and two more to be confirmed.
Driven Serious
Driven Serious have recently released their second album after over 11 years, performing as festival favourites. They are an original folk-rock band mainly based in the North East of England. Critically acclaimed with energy comparable to such bands as the Levellers and the Waterboys.
Driven Serious - new album: “Look On These Works is an incredibly engaging listen, whether it’s the monumental sounding strings that carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of the title track, it’s an impressive experience.” (Narc Magazine)
Driven Serious—performance: “I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much than that. They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them when they play, passionate and with the hand-brake well and truly off, and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff”. (The Crack)
Jon Palmer Band
Uplifting folk, roots, and rock + roll describe the band as “a cross between The Pogues and Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Session Band – with a bit of Waterboys and Saw Doctors thrown in for good measure”, Leeds Music Scene said the Jon Palmer Acoustic Band left them “spellbound and desperate for more!”

Jon is a former winner of the Grolsch UK Songwriter of the Year, and a published songwriter with Sony.
TWO MORE ACTS TO BE CONFIRMED.
