Headline act 10pm — Intraverse   www.intraverse.com

Peaking at No 4 in the itunes Rock Chart with their first single ‘Please Don’t Share Your Kisses’ at the end of last year, Tunbridge Wells rock act Intraverse made their debut at the world’s leading rock event, Download Festival last summer. This year the band have also been busy in the studio working with esteemed producer John Mitchell (You Me At Six, Enter Shikari, Funeral For a Friend) recording tracks towards their debut album. Other UK festival performances have also seen the band headline the ‘Local & Live’ festival in Tunbridge Wells and prominent slots at the Guilfest Rocksound Stage, Redfest, Lounge on the Farm, and appeared as main support to guitar legend Gary Moore (R.I.P) as part of his tour. Their eagerly awaited debut album is out soon.

Goldie Reed has been performing with her 4-piece band since late 2010, regularly appearing around the South East. Influences include Alison Krauss, Robert Plant, T-Bone Burnett, Eva Cassidy and Tom Waits.

Paul says "Goldie Reed are emerging as one the best acts to come out Tunbridge Wells. Goldie's spinetingling vocals weave around the band's infectious blues-edged, soulful melodies. Goldie Reed is an exciting, deeply talented artist who with her superb band in tow, sound like they are the result of a jam session featuring Robert Plant, Pink Floyd and Eva Cassidy! Quite simply they are fantastic!
