One of the UK’s most successful songwriters, Mark Chadwick, has co-written 20 chart singles and 6 Top 40 albums (including a Number 1) as part of the Levellers, the band he has fronted for over 25 years.Still going strong, the Levellers are festival favourites and have cemented their cherished status with headline performances at Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight, Cambridge Folk Festival, Bestival and Boomtown and many European and UK events and in 2003 they successfully created their own annual Beautiful Days Festival which takes place in August at Escot Park in Devon.

During this time Mark has released two solo albums ‘All the Pieces’ and ‘Moment’ and his upfront and personal solo performance will see him play a mixture of material from these albums and Levellers classics. Be warned, Mark will have you up dancing!


RUSSEL PERKINS (PAPAPHONE)

"Drawing from a wealth of experience, Russell Perkins brings a refreshingly organic approach to his music. A firm believer that music is not about money or image, he masterfully crafts songs exploring the human condition.

“Music should be about feelings and beliefs; from the first time a note is written to the moment someone has listened to the last song on your finished record. Hopefully some of yours relate to that of others... there is a human connection through music".

Now a regular on Talk Sport Extra Time, you can catch him on screen in the studio both performing and talking sport!


LUKE JAMES WILLIAMS (THE OCTOBER GAME)
Debut EP ‘Drove’ is set for release on November 23rd 2018,
www.facebook.com/lukejameswilliams

After 6 years as the frontman of alt.rock band The October Game, which saw the release of 3 albums, extensive touring throughout the UK and Europe and regular radio play from BBC6 Music and BBC Introducing, singer-songwriter Luke James Williams released his first solo track in January 2017. ‘Jenny Writes Letters’ was immediately picked up and played by Charlie Ashcroft of Amazing Radio who called the track “A perfect slice of alt.folk pop” and CAM FM DJ Sandy Mill

Light and dark, happy and sad, fearful and brave ...Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice, highlighting the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us.
