The Spinners
On Sunday, surviving members of The Spinners Hughie Jones, Mick Groves & Tony Davis will be joined by Cliff Halls son, Clifford Hall to recieve a lifetimes achievemnet award from The Acoustic Festival, as well as singing songs from their 50 year career including Dirty Old Town, Black and White, Family of Man, Maggie May, Leaving of Liverpool, In my Liverpool Home etc.
They became popular by reviving some of the greatest folk music and singing new songs in the same vein. Although sounding like traditional English folk songs, some of their material was in fact composed by Hughie Jones. Cliff Hall also introduced traditional Jamaican songs to their repertoire. One of their albums was called Not Quite Folk.
They produced over forty albums, and made numerous concerts and TV appearances. In 1970, they were given their own television show on BBC One that ran for seven years. They also had their own show on BBC Radio 2. They retired in 1988, after thirty years together, although they led the community singing at the 1989 FA Cup Final and played some Christmas shows in the early 1990s. Cliff Hall retired to Australia, where he died in 2008

Fairport Convention
Fairport Convention are often credited with being the first English electric folk band. Formed in April 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' style music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English tunes and songs. Fairport Convention is still one of the busiest bands around. The current line-up of Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders, Chris Leslie and Gerry Conway still packs venues on its frequent tours.

Quill Quill
Anyone seeing and hearing Quill in concert will wonder at the magic of the performance! Quill has developed a unique musical style that has captured many varied influences, plying Celtic folk hued Fleetwood Mac-ish rock before the Corrs were invented. The artistry of guitar and violin harmonies is complimented by five vocal harmonies producing an exciting dynamic sound.

Eric Faulkner
Although perhaps best known as lead guitarist and songwriter with seventies supergroup The Bay City Rollers, Eric’s talents really come to the fore in his solo acoustic shows. He connects with his audience and takes them with him on his journey through traditional material, some Celtic fiddle music, self-penned songs with tales that weave a magic of their own, virtuoso guitar playing, funny stories and a self deprecating take on the old Rollers material.

The five members of Sheelanagig bring a wide range of musical backgrounds to the band’s unique sound, and are united by their commitment to energetic performance with the highest quality instrumental music.

The Outcast Band
The Outcast Band first got together in 1991. High energy roots-rock 5-piece from Stroud, blending rock with folk and punk influences. Rock guitars collide with mandolins, violins and accordians to produce a sound coming from the same ball park as The Levellers, The Waterboys and The Saw Doctors.

Ghost Trains
Ghost Trains are UK acoustic three-piece Tim Ellis (Vocals & Guitar), Elijah Wolfenheart (Lead Guitar & Harmonies), & Greg Wood (Percussion). Their sound has been described as somewhere between a macabre version of Crowded House and a more rootsy version of The Eagles, all rolled together with a distinctive English twist.
Having formed in the late summer of 2009, the guys set about recording at their studio in Staffordshire, and by just their fourth ever gig, heads were turning fast. That show was The Acoustic Festival Of Britain in May 2010. In a review of the festival, Acoustic Magazine declared Ghost Trains "The highlight of the whole event."

The Re-entrants
Nothing is out of bounds for the Re-entrants, whether it be classic Bowie or Britney Spears, Motorhead or Madonna. They somehow manage to get in all the hooks, riffs, solos and vocal harmonies without any backing tracks or fancy tricks - nothing but two voices and two ukuleles. "Their act is so very strong: they transcend the limitations of the ukulele."
