The Oxeye Daisies
The Oxeye Daisies are a harmony duo, comprising Vanessa and Sarah, who share a passion for Folk and Americana music. Their performances are characterised by vocal harmonies and heartfelt interpretations of both traditional and contemporary songs. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Civil Wars, Leonard Cohen, and Show of Hands, they bring a fresh yet authentic sound to the folk scene. Based in the heart of the National Forest, their repertoire includes covers of beloved folk songs as well as original compositions that reflect their love for storytelling through music.
Bob Powell
Bob Powell is best known as a dobro, slide and banjo player for local Americana stalwarts such as the Harvesters, the Hoarse Whisperers, Lost Highway and the Fabulous RBs. More recently he has been gigging as a solo artist and storyteller, playing an eclectic mix of Southern blues classics from the 1930s /40s and homegrown material, each with its own trademark tale of roots and rumours, truth, myth and mystery. Toe-tapping, finger-tangling, eyebrow-raising, feel-good songs and tunes for a chilly autumn evening.
