Supporting them on the night will be:
Siobhán and the Sunset Haze
Hailing from the South Coast, Siobhán began her career as a solo singer-songwriter telling her honest tales of love, loss, and lessons learned, through her storytelling of real-life events with powerful vocals and leaving no stone left unturned.
She’s now backed by her band ‘The Sunset Haze’, formed in 2019, they’ve spent the last 4 years honing their sound, and perfecting their unique image, and style as a collective.
After having released their debut EP “Playing the Part” back in 2022, they have played all along the South Coast at iconic venues and multiple festivals such as Teddy Rocks and Fuelled By Cider events. Now having released their latest spooky single 'Witching Hour', they are back and standing tall with their melodic folk-rock fusion, and high energy, wild-hearted live shows, ready to make their mark in 2024.
Maddison A
Maddison A and her band are making waves on the indie pop rock scene, delivering a powerful musical experience that defies the limits of their three-piece lineup. With a sound that’s both bold and captivating, they blend the soulful influences of Amy Winehouse with the moody, deep basslines inspired by Billie Eilish. Their unique style brings a fresh energy to every performance, resonating with both pop and rock fans alike. Having recently supported top acts like Sophie
Ellis-Bextor, The Feeling, and The Sugababes Maddison A is proving that her band is a force to be reckoned with. ♫♪♪
Ribble
Ribble – two Northern men, a fiddle, a guitar, and a large beard. So far, so what?
Well, add in a 90s drum synth, some mighty arrangements of meaty fiddle tunes, some songs, some wrong turns, battle scars earned busking the streets of Salisbury, a barrowload of inane banter and the feeling that your mad rum-soaked uncle is roaring at you to dance on the tables, then you’re getting close to what Ribble offer. You get a free smile with every gig or your money back (terms and conditions apply).
