Alan Prosser : Friday 3rd September You'll probably know that Alan Prosser fronts the magnificent Oysterband - but did you know that he was also once a crucial member of Fiddlers' Dram? And as a solo acoustic performer he is, quite simply, superb. His guitar styles (and influences) are so diverse and wide-ranging, you'll start to wonder whether there's anything he can't do. He is not just technically brilliant, he is also (and the two don't necessarily go together!) very enjoyable indeed to listen to. But Alan isn't just a great guitarist; he also writes grand songs (he is involved in writing a lot of the Oysterband's output) and sings them. You're in for an eye-opening, ear-pinning evening!

Dr Butler's Hatstand Medicine Band : Friday 1st October All the way from Manchester, we are proud to present (ta-daa!) Dr Butler's Hatstand Medicine Band. A name like that is quite something to live up to - but this band manages it magnificently. The instruments which they play (although we do not guarantee that they will bring them all to Hove) include: Harmonica, Washboard, Jews-Harp, Spoons, Ukulele, Kazoo, Jug, Guitar, The Body, The Bones, Mountain Dulcimer, Banjo, Clarinet, Double Bass, Mandolin, Piano and Musical Saw! You reckon you know what to expect? We're not at all sure that you do ... but you can, for sure, expect to have a really great time, and will probably spent the next three days singing, jigging and clapping!

"I think the most I’ve danced in the past 10 years is to that band. Dr Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band are fantastic. Washboard, harmonica, double bass, beauty, they’re just fantastic. I think you’d call it ragtime, I’m not sure but it’s awesome music to dance to.” - Guy Garvey, Mercury Music Award Winner |
Jon Harvison : Friday 6th November Jon Harvison is a singer-songwriter with powerful songs and a powerful delivery. His songs are about issues which affect us all in life today, and are supplemented by some beautifully-delivered traditional material. And between songs he comes out with witty stories, so effortlessly delivered that you probably won't realise he has just changed from one complex guitar tuning to another. Based in Yorkshire, Jon plays most of his gigs in the North, so for us Dahn Sarf this is a rare chance to hear him live. Great songs, great guitar, a great voice and a great sense of humour into the bargain - this is one that you certainly must not miss!
