THE LINE-UP
★ KATIE B & THE SNOOKS
Straight out of the GlobalGroovesJam. Award-winning blues singer Katie Bradley on vocals & harp, Francesco’s boogie-woogie piano wizardry, Kieran Mensah’s stunningly authentic blues guitar, and Mykola Mishurenko, GlobalGroovesJam host and undisputed groove king.
★ WATERMOOR
The Red Cow Blues Rock Jam Host’s with the legend, the master, the hero Grant Matcham on keys, Javier Guevara’s beautiful voice, twin-guitar carnage from Harry Russell & Roman Gronkowski, Tyler Smith holding the low end and Harry Pim on drums. Classic hard rock with blues dripping out of every riff.
★ JIMMY & THE RIDDLES
The reggae sunshine squad. Jimmy Riddle Phillips and his riddims turn any room into party. Let them take you on a rhythmic journey through the sunny shores of tropical Reggae, the infectious beats of Dub and the upbeat melodies of Ska. Mike Keen on bass, Adolph Nassalang bringing percussion, vocals and good vibes by the bucketload, and Mykola (yes, him again) locking the one-drop tighter than a steel drum.
★ FUNKSTONE
Folkestone’s legendary Vernon Woodward, the Funkfather up front on Vocals & Keys The one and only Tony Cobley in the pocket. The irresistibly cool and smooth Mike Bingham. Golden trumpet tones from Mike Murphy and Roman Gronkowski on that filthy, chicken-scratch, wakka-wakka-wakka Strat. A collective of musicians brought together by GlobalGroovesJam, The Red Cow Jam, The Music Workshop & Tofts Cafe & Bar.
★ THE SHINDIGS
A high-energy, full-throttle party band fronted by the unstoppable Lola Froud and Edie Carter (The Red Cow’s resident Rock Chick) delivering powerhouse vocals and stage swagger. On guitar, Harry Russell keeps the floor shaking with iconic riffs and anthems, while Harry Pim (yes — the two Harry’s) drives the whole thing with explosive, hard-hitting drums. You won’t want to miss them as they open this amazing show!
