Our line-up for 2023 was ...
COLIN GIFFIN
Colin toured with The Beatles and Rolling Stones among many others. He co-founded The End, today an iconic symbol of British psychedelia, their 1969 ‘INTROSPECTION’ album, produced by Bill Wyman, now a collectors’ item.Then publishing, A & R and record production, developing the next generation of talent. He was, indirectly, involved in the birth of music videos, having given a publishing deal to one half of Buggles, whose ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ helped launch MTV. Next, TV drama, as a script editor and writer for the BBC and ITV. Now he has returned to performing, ‘very low-key, but it reminds me why I first got into music.’ Colin is co-writer of the Marc Bolan musical ‘20th Century Boy’ which toured the UK nationally in 2014 and 2018.
DEMURE & KATJA MACABRE
Demure is a band of performers: they won’t just bring the energy of a unique modern rock, which integrates contemporary and alternative sounds, but also will put on a highly engaging show that has been proven effective to get moving audiences with the most varied ages and tastes. Hailing from Brighton and working hard to rise in the music scene, Demure counts performances all over the UK, and the impact of the band was such to delight festival organisers to call the band in again for the following year, along with placements in music competitions such as winning the Horsham Battle of Bands, participating in the Isle of Wight New Blood Competitions and being enrolled in the Soundwaves Music Competition. On this occasion, Demure will be joined on stage by the amazing singer Katja Macabre!
TIM SHEZ
Taking influences from singer songwriters, anthemic stadium bands and cinematic soundscapes, Tim delivers delicate and intimate songs which draw you in and take you along with him.
His disarmingly honest lyrics and melodies over acoustic guitars, strings and atmospheric vocal layers create a unique and often emotional sound, lingering with the listener long after the songs have ended.
Think of a mash-up between Bon Iver, U2 and Hans Zimmer and you have a good idea of what
to expect.
​
GASMONKEY
GASMONKEY formed in 2022 with a single vision: Rock the Party. All killer, no filler. 2023 will see them make their debut appearance at the Albury Music Festival. The band have built a rabid following forged during their electric live shows playing private functions and bars throughout the county. If you’ve got an appetite for classic rock, GASMONKEY has your medicine; playing hits from AC/DC, Oasis, Bowie, Dylan, Guns n’ Roses, U2 and more. The band is made up of: Joe Occomore, James Belso, Joey Meehan, Nick Fairway and Jacob McGuire.
THE LANDINGS

BROKE N BONES
Following on from their successful opening season wowing crowds on their home turf in the Surrey Hills, Broke N Bones are excited to return to the stage to share their high energy and flourishing talent for a second summer of rock, fun and hopefully sun!
With the goal of reviving old school rock classics, they have worked tirelessly to expand their repertoire to bring you favourites from the 70s to the present day – think
AC/DC, Bon Jovi and throw a bit of One Direction to the mix. These 11 year olds will be sure to get you off your feet, singing at the top of your lungs and evoking memories of day gone by.
BRYONY DUNN
Influenced by 70s Californian rock and the incredible women in the current indie pop scene, Bryony's sound is ever evolving. Through her time writing and performing in the harmony drenched indie band 'The Choco La's' and extensive time sat on trains listening to her constantly updated playlist 'Songs I'm living with', she has settled her musical world in a world of trees, dappled light and soft voices for now. For fans of Maggie Rogers, Wolf Alice, Fleetwood Mac.
ASH BAKER
​
The man with a plan, ASH BAKER and I have NEWS for you! In the last 7 years I have been at home, not just because of COVID 19 but because just only 7 years ago I lost myself.
I had a break down and found that I had lost my faith and trust in peers. And started to develop my first taste of mental health.
I had to isolate myself, to realise my own dreams and to start looking out for what it was I needed myself to grow. As I came back from being on NYC FASHION WEEK runways I realised my friends hadn't moved up and on, so I had to help.
The rest is history.
AQUALINE
Aqualine are a new collective from the city of Guildford creating explosive yet melancholy alternative rock. Taking broad inspiration from shoegaze, grunge, hip-hop and experimental ambience, they strive to perfect a unique blend of their favourite genres. With colourful music and honest lyrics about the modern day, they offer a youthful perspective on the mental and physical world we inhabit. The two Songwriters Benski (Vocalist) and Patric (Lead Guitar) often start with the music and melody, then in capture the feeling it provokes through the lyrics afterwards. The band have just finished releasing a handful of singles and are now on track to start releasing from their
upcoming EP.
The rest is history.
