10.00pm - Zoox

Exciting arrangements, great musicianship and infectious energy typify the performances of Zoox in a show which is guaranteed to entertain and enchant."

"Barbara is possibly one of the finest solo singer / songwriters we have had the pleasure of seeing perform in a long time. Barbara quite literally puts her heart and soul into her performance - beautiful, inspiring and enchanting."

9.00pm – One Stone (Rebekah Findlay & Wendy Arrowsmith)
"What's all the fuss about? I will tell, both REBEKAH & WENDY, gave outstanding, stunning performances live to the world, two hours of beautiful music and singing from a professional and very talented duo." Terry Ferdinand, Bishop FM Folk show.

"Once you have heard Sara Grey you will never forget her. She has a certain quality of voice that compels you to give her your undivided attention.
