Leave it to Johnny As Saturday evening begins we welcome back our Guildford friends Leave it to Johnny whose original music is marked by infectious melodies and driving rhythms. With a powerful stage presence, they deliver a fresh and exciting take on the indie rock genre, captivating audiences with their authentic sound. Sharp, hook-laden originals that carry the DNA of Squeeze, The Beatles, REM, The Jam, U2, The Kinks & Tom Petty. Leave it to Johnny – your next favourite band.

The Vagabonds – The Vagabonds bring an unforgettable night of live music with classics spanning the 60s through to today. From The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Blondie, through Oasis, Kings of Leon and Coldplay, their set is packed with iconic anthems that get everyone singing along. With over 20 years of gigging experience, this Portsmouth-based six-piece know exactly how to get the party started — and keep it going.

Ken Wood & The Mixers – Returning for 2026! A riotous, eight-piece troupe of gutbucket soul heroes, specialising in their own unique blend of bold, brassy soul, stomping R&B and ludicrous on-stage antics.   Spearheaded by that whirling R&B dervish Mr Kenneth B Woode, their irresistible, barnstorming and faintly ramshackle sound is laced with tricks, raps, routines and things getting broken.
