NEWBERRY AND VERCH
Wed 9th Sept 2026
Growing up, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year, the two musicians are fond of saying that they are rarely homesick, because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go.

KIT HAWES & AARON CATLOW
For over a decade, Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow have been a distinctive and powerful presence on the UK folk scene, forging a partnership defined by deep musical connection, exceptional instrumental skill and rich vocal harmony. Rooted in the traditional music of the British Isles, their work breathes new life into centuries-old melodies - including songs collected in Somerset - while sitting seamlessly alongside original material inspired by the landscape and stories of the South West. At the heart of their sound is a timeless and intimate combination of guitar, fiddle and voices, delivered with energy, sensitivity and flair.

Aaron Catlow & Kit Hawes
Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge -- or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it -- as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’
Southern gothic Americana music.

AGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
STRINES Age Against The Machine DAYTIME Party (Over 30s Only) - Sat 12th Sept
After a sold out event last summer (and numerous other cities around the country), Age Against The Machine are returning to The Strines Nightingale for another afternoon of over 30s fun!
For over 12 years now Don and Reg have been hosting sold out parties in London and around the UK for those who do not want to go gentle in to that good night and are still fighting hard for their right to party! And they're back in Strines again! Dropping the finest: pop, indie, rock, disco, Motown, rock ‘n’ roll, power ballads, soul, punk, ska, northern soul, funk and anything we think will get the floor moving.
We intend this event to be on the outdoor stage. However, with the British weather, we have a contingency to bring it indoors. It might be that certain portions are inside or out, our aim is to keep you dry but have the best shindig we can, and the outside wood space is an awesome place to have a party!
**As with all Age Against The Machine events this is strictly for over 30s only. Photo ID MUST be produced, even if you have purchased an advance ticket!
No Kids Allowed!
