Friday 27 October - Paul Downes. Paul's sensitive and yet fun approach to his live performances puts him among the most respected artists on the British acoustic music scene today. He's been introduced (much to his embarrassment) as one of the greatest acoustic guitarists in the world. It is easy to see why when you see the dazzling array of styles he performs with effortless brilliance, but he considers himself a singer of songs, rather than a guitar technician. Paul has a rich musical background that has progressed through working with Phil BeerThe Arizona Smoke RevuePete Seeger and, currently, The Joyce Gang. Paul Downes Web Site  YouTube Performance

Friday 17 November -

Doug Hudson & Ian Cutler. Doug was half of the duo Tundra who specialised in researching and performing Kentish folk songs during the 70s and 80s. When the duo split Doug pursued a solo career in stand up comedy and played many of the London cabaret venues . He and performed his One Man Show in Hong Kong, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and Botswana as well as the UK. With the advent of the Hot Rats in 1992, further tours to Russia, Europe and Australia emerged. Doug is also currently the musical director of Rochester Sweeps Festival.  
Ian started playing at the age of 7, classically to start with, then going on to play folk music. He joined a band called "Hockett", which in 1972, played the music for the cult film "The Wicker Man". In 1975 he joined the "Bully Wee" band touring Europe and USA. He has been playing for 20 years with Hot Rats in South East England and Northern Europe, as well as touring with the re-formed Bully Wee Band.
