Robb Johnson is widely recognized as one of the UK's finest songwriters. An English original, (Robin Denselow, the Guardian) one of our best singer-songwriters ever (Mike Harding). He gigs in the UK, Belgium, Germany & the USA, & his songs are covered by many singers. In 2013 the release of a new, revised version of Gentle Men, Robb's family history of the First World War, recorded with Roy Bailey & Barb Jungr, again received unanimous critical acclaim a wonderful mixture of the political and personalA really moving piece of work (Billy Bragg, & a folk classic (The Guardian) A review of Robb's 2014 album Us & Them said Robb Johnson keeps folk music relevant & thought-provoking. Us & Them shows what can be created by one man & a guitar, (The Living Tradition), while the following year's band album, Here Goes Nothing, prompted the following review from R2: Within bars of the opening onslaught. It's evident that Robb is quite the kamikaze axe man.

Support comes from South London based Singer/Songwriter Joe Wilkes.

"There is a parallel universe to ours where Lady Gaga is a pub singer and Simon Cowell is a used car salesmen. In that same universe London singer/songwriter Joe Wilkes is a superstar, his records sell by the million.

Meanwhile in this dimension (every now and then), Joe puts out a collection of new songs, no big fanfares, just real music, sung and played by a real musician.".
