Three great acts showcasing the superb talents of the truly authentic Boogie-Woogie piano and vocals of Julian Phillips, the ‘uplifting’ and ‘inspirational’ Acoustic Roots of Mark Harrison (guitar & vocals); and as always, the night will close with the dynamic and ever-popular Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion, whose Hammond-organ-driven electric blues blend old-school tradition with contemporary flare and sophistication.

Prepare for an unforgettable night of entertainment!

Julian Phillips – Solo Boogie-Woogie Piano

 

 As one of the UK's top boogie-woogie piano players, Julian has gained a great reputation for his wide and varied repertoire in the boogie and blues genre and is one of the founder organisers of the UK boogie-woogie festival here at Sturminster Newton.  

Julian has played concerts and festivals in Europe and America and is highly esteemed by his fellow players.  He taught himself how to play the piano at the age of 14 by listening to and interpreting the music of the great boogie-woogie pioneers including Jimmy Yancey and Pinetop Smith. His love and knowledge of blues ‘n boogie is infectious, and whether playing solo or performing with other musicians his enjoyment of the music is intensely evident.

 

Followed by…

 

Mark Harrison – Acoustic Roots

 

Mark is an established, multi-award-nominated artist with an ever-growing reputation for being unlike any other artist out there. He performs all-original songs in his own very individual style. He has been regularly featured on BBC Radio, including the Radio 2 Pick Of the Week show, and a live session on Radio 2 Cerys Matthews Blues Show.  He has been described by the BBC as an artist who 'makes you think afresh' and by countless reviewers and audience members as 'uplifting' and 'inspirational'.

 

Mark is well-known in the blues world - BBC Radio has said 'He's kind of reinvented the blues in this country. What a glorious sound he makes', he has been described as 'one of the most genuinely innovative, interesting bluesmen in Europe today' by Blues Matters magazine, and he has been nominated multiple times in the UK Blues Awards (including 2026).

Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion – dynamic and lyrical Hammond-organ driven contemporary electric blues.

 

“Seriously good music” – Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2

 

ZSBC refresh the blues genre with eclectic arrangements, virtuosic playing and vocal prowess. Their vibrant, exciting live set is based around rootsy original songs, strong catchy riffs and exciting grooves; they mix old-school tradition with contemporary flare and sophistication.

 

Zoe’s dynamic and commanding vocal delivery, her majestic vocal sweep and her interpretive ability, are complimented by the unmistakable and inimitable touch and flow of Rob Koral-guitar; and the highly accomplished rhythm section of Pete Whittaker-Hammond organ and Eddie John-drums who bring massive musical authority and the ability to push the music in unpredictable and exciting directions.

 

There is diversity, depth, and uniqueness in the band's music, with each member given the freedom to express their musical prowess and add their own magic to Zoë and Rob’s songwriting. A testament to their chemistry is the sheer volume of music they’ve written, recorded, released, and toured — with their brand-new album Colourful House marking their seventh studio release since their formation in 2012.

 

“A great band. Terrific musicians all four of them” - Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2

 

“A different level of class. Zoe's vocal: powerful yet vulnerable. Rob, Pete and [Paul] turned out a masterclass in Schofield-esque sophistication” - Blues in Britain Magazine

“This is a band of exceptional quality, fronted by the stellar vocals of Zoe Schwarz; you really shouldn't miss the opportunity to enjoy them” - Live Review, Brian Harrington, Arlington Arts, Newbury Times

Long established as Europe's most successful ever exponents of retro-inspired rock & roll, SHOWADDYWADDY’s record of achievements spanning 5 decades truly sets them apart from their contemporaries and their peers.

The band’s extraordinary voyage began back in 1973, when courtesy of an impromptu ‘jam session,’ the original eight man lineup chanced upon an instant musical chemistry, the likes of which immediately grabbed the lukewarm audience’s attention, perhaps suggestive of things yet to come.    

In the next decade a staggering 23 Top 40 hit singles followed, including Top 5 hits: “Under The Moon of Love,” “When,” “You Got What It Takes,” “3 Steps To Heaven,” and “Hey Rock & Roll,” to name but a few, which eclipsing all expectations went on to grace the charts in more than thirty territories.

Firmly establishing themselves as a household name, the SHOWADDYWADDY success story kept on growing:

More than 30 million records sold worldwide.

15 massive selling albums (including a prestigious Christmas number 1 in 1978).

In excess of 500 television appearances, including more than 50 Top of the Pops performances, plus their very own BBC TV special in 1980.

Innumerable industry awards!

Royal command performances (one to the delight of the Queen Mother - who actually requested to meet the band post-performance).

Bill toppers at the prestigious Golden Orpheus World Music Festival in 1982 before an astonishing TV audience in excess of 300 million people - breaking down political barriers in the process by becoming the first ever western-world band to be screened live in Communist Cuba!

Late 2004 saw the release of the re-mastered "Very Best Of" collection, which incredibly remained on the album chart for 3 months, helping the band achieve their first Gold Album award for in excess of 20 years to once again confirm SHOWADDYWADDY as proven recording artists.

By dint of this renewed surge in popularity the boys were asked to record their first album of new material for 15 years, culminating in an inventive collection of hit covers originally recorded by their 70's contemporaries. Aptly entitled "I Love Rock & Roll" the 2006 release featured adaptations of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Rock This Town,” “Jungle Rock,” to name but a few, together with a rousing rendition of the title track. Not unexpectedly the album chalked up impressive sales across the globe.

Late 2008 saw the much anticipated release of the concept album & DVD entitled "The Sun Album," researched from 9800 original Sun titles in which the band lovingly created 'the album they always wanted to make,' thus achieving a long time ambition in the process by recording at the revered Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Released to amazing Industry and public acclaim the CD/DVD soon became something of a cult classic, continuing to win over a legion of new admirers with its re-release in 2014.

In April 2019 the remastered ‘GOLD’ album debuted on the UK chart at Number 7, remaining on the chart for an incredible 10 weeks, only adding to the band’s truly amazing track record, duly supported by yet another strenuous 70 date nationwide theatre tour, whilst earning their second successive industry award as: ‘The UK’s hardest working artists!’

Not content to rest on their laurels during a prolonged lay-off from live performance work by virtue of the COVID 19 pandemic, a shakeup in personnel ensued, as seeking to recreate the unique blend of vocal harmonies and dynamic rock ‘n’ roll for which the ‘WADDIES’ had become known and loved the world over, a widespread search culminated in the addition of four multi-talented young musicians, who finally hit the live performance trail in late 2021  to an astonishing reaction, earning the plaudits from the media and fans alike, with a live touring show described as: “An adrenaline fueled spectacle reminiscent of the heady days of the 1970s!”

And it’s true, the rejuvenated line-up’s striking vocal ability - no backing tracks here - and musical prowess bear an uncanny resemblance to the original chart-topping band, complete with a dynamic stage presence and work ethic which looks set to win over a whole new legion of fans, while at the same time preserving SHOWADDYWADDY’s enviable reputation as live artists.

As if the list of accomplishments across five decades were not enough, late ’24 saw the re-release of the band’s beloved yuletide single ‘HEY MR CHRISTMAS,’ in an exclusive vinyl Picture-Disc format to commemorate 50 years since its initial release in 1974. Astonishingly the unique release’s sales exceeded all expectations by beating off the competition and soaring to the coveted Number One spot in the nation’s official Vinyl Single’s Chart in its first week of release, amidst consistent airplay across the national airwaves during the run-up to Christmas.

Engendered by a renewed surge in the band’s popularity throughout the continent, 2025 saw the boys embark on a series of live dates in territories across Europe to a rapturous reception, symbolic perhaps that 2026 seems destined to be one of the busiest years on record, with a massive 90 plus date UK tour in place, augmented by exciting new recording and TV projects soon to be announced.  

Their place amongst the rock ‘n’ roll elite long cemented, the extraordinarily talented 6 piece band’s unique credentials and versatility remain without question - concerts, corporate conventions, festivals, universities, colleges, clubs & private functions the world over still clamor to book this remarkable live show, thus providing proof that after more than 50 sensational years, rock & roll music is truly alive and kicking in the hands of the legendary ‘SHOWADDYWADDY’.

Traditional Celtic music at its best! With fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, haunting ballads and a good dose of humour, the Tannahill Weavers have transformed traditional

material and brought it into the modern world, vitally alive and kicking.

Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, in 2019 the Tannahill Weavers were  nominated for Folk Album of the Year and Folk Band of the Year in Scotland. Recently they

have been joined by piper Iain MacGillivray, who is Scotland’s youngest Clan leader and has worked recently on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and has performed for a huge list of stars and dignitaries in recent years.

"Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures." -Glasgow Celtic Connections 2018

"The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll." -Winnipeg Free Press

"An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new." - New York Time

When Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Bob Geldof and Brian May need a Party Band, who do they call…?

Well, they obviously want the best for their parties, so nothing else will do. And with JAMIE & THE FALCONS (formerly The World Famous Red Sox) they know they’re in in good hands, because at some point they’ve probably played with a Falcon or two..

With a repertoire of over 300 songs covering 4 decades, a fantastic sense of fun and amazing flexibility and you’ll start to see why they’ve become The Rock Stars’ Choice. Or maybe yours!

 

“..thank you for the wonderful ‘vibe’ you gave to our wedding. It made the weekend one to remember…“

Phil Collins

…the ultimate party band!”

Brian May (Queen)

Highly recommend these guys. None better!

Adventures In Modern Recording – An Intimate Evening with Trevor Horn

From Seal to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, from ABC to Yes, from Grace Jones to Belle and Sebastian, and from Robbie Williams to Pet Shop Boys, one man has been at the heart of some of Britain’s most important pop music of the past 50 years: Trevor Horn.

The super producer has been described as ‘the man who invented the eighties’ and he was also responsible for the sound of such bands as Dollar, Malcolm McLaren, t.A.T.u. and countless more, including Hans Zimmer, Marc Almond, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Art of Noise, Rod Stewart, and LeAnn Rimes.

After achieving a number one hit with his band, The Buggles, with Video Killed The Radio Star, Horn became a member of Yes before becoming the most important hit-maker of the 1980s – and beyond. Awards followed – there were four Brits, a 1995 Grammy for Seal’s Kiss From A Rose, a 2010 Ivor Novello for his Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and a CBE.

Following the publication of his best-selling memoir, Adventures In Modern Recording: From ABC to ZTT, Horn is visiting a select handful of theatres to talk about his exploits as a bona fide legend of pop.

Los Pacaminos featuring Paul Young Los Pacaminos was formed in summer 1992, when UK pop star Paul Young’s love of all things Tex-Mex led to exploratory discussions with some like-minded musician friends. Within a few weeks, Los Pacaminos was born and rehearsals had begun. The band was originally a six-piece. Joining Paul were guitarist and singer Jamie Moses, accordion/keyboard player Matt Irving, singer/songwriter Drew Barfield, bassist Steve Greetham and drummer Mark Pinder. In November 1992, the boys took to the stage for their first ever gig at the White Horse in Richmond, Matt’s local watering-hole. They went down a storm. Despite expectations that the band would fall apart when something more important came along, the exact opposite happened. With every show, their friendships grew stronger, the band played tighter, and the seeds of their loyal fanbase had been sown. While Paul’s name was used in gig promotion, the Los Pacaminos name and the boys’ trademark stetsons made it clear this wasn’t a Paul Young show. In time, the band started writing and performing their own songs, and the boys knew this wasn’t going to be a short-term project. In 1997, after five years of gigging, Jamie introduced Paul to Melvin Duffy, a pedal steel player he’d played with, and suggested Melvin play on a few songs at the next show. Paul remembers it well: “As soon as Mel took the first solo, we all melted. He had to be in the band, the decision wasn’t his to make!” In 2002, as an established seven-piece band, the Pacs delighted their fans with the release of their eponymous first album. Comprising 12 original songs that ran through their influences, including the Texas Tornados, Doug Sahm, Flaco Jimenez, Roy Orbison, The Band, Chuck Berry, Ry Cooder and Calexico, ‘Los Pacaminos’ pulled in an impressive array of positive reviews. These songs, together with a number of acclaimed covers, became the backbone of their set list over the coming years. In 2015, the boys lost their dear friend and founder member Matt Irving after a long battle with cancer. Although Matty’s boots were very big boots to fill, Steve “Woody” Oakman stepped in as the band’s accordionist a year later.
