Headline Act: The Rosie Pennie Band

I Am Aquitaine (feat. Elle Roberts)
Elle Roberts is a singer/songwriter from Platt in Kent.
Her songs are described as acoustic melodic storytelling with folk, blues and country influences; they are inspired by relationships, love, memories and the everyday questions of life.
She has found inspiration from an eclectic mix of artists, ranging from the great story-telling of Bruce Springsteen, Frank Turner & Gaz Brookfield to the passionate melodies of Alanis Morissette, Lissie, and The Pierces.
Elle will be recording her EP by the end of the year and will continue to perform throughout the local area and London.
The Paul Dunton Orchestra
Singer-songwriter, Paul Dunton leads his own unique cross-over orchestra providing an atmospheric fusion of alternative and pop with a classical twist. Paul & his Orchestra take influences from varying modern day artists such as Pink Floyd, Elbow, ELO, Turin Brakes, Massive Attack, Damien Rice and contemporary composers such as Samuel Barber, Ludovico Einaudi, John Barry and Hans Zimmerman. The Orchestra performs Paul's own compositions and a varied selection of uniquely arranged standards from a wide range of artists. The line-up of 8 violins, 4 cellos, guitar, flute, bass and percussion accompanies Paul on vocals and piano, joined by his lead vocalists, Charlotte Andrew and Poppy Raine. Paul and his Orchestra regularly perform at concerts, festivals and private events throughout the UK and internationally, including headlining the Theatrium Wilhelmstraße Festival in Wiesbaden, Germany and an 8 state tour of the USA which culminated in a spectacular roof-top performance on top of the New York Strand Hotel. Increased attention and success led to the orchestra being featured on BBC Radio 2 by Joan Armatrading with interviews and airplay of one of Paul's songs, 'Don't Forget'. This led to Paul supporting Joan Armatrading on five occasions during her recent UK tours.
