Driven Serious:
An original folk-rock band, founded in 2011, mainly based in the North East with hundreds of performances under their belt over the past eleven years of their existence. They have released two albums and an EP to critical acclaim and toured with and supported the likes of Mad Dog Mcrea, Jesus Jones and shared the bill with bands such as Ferocious Dog, Three Daft Monkeys and the Wonderstuff.

Their latest album, Look On These Works was released in November 2022.
Driven Serious new album: "Look On These Works is an incredibly engaging listen, whether it?s the monumental sounding strings that carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of the title track, it?s an impressive experience." - Narc
Driven Serious performance: " I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much than that. They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them when they play, passionate and with the hand-brake well and truly off, and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff" ?

Sunday:
3 Daft Monkeys
With Celtic and eastern influences, the 3 Daft Monkeys? dynamic style of world folk music reflects the global village in which we now live. Their infectious dancing rhythms lead you through a musical journey of the senses and emotions, and will leave you breathless, enthralled and exhilarated.

After experiencing the band?s notoriously energetic live performance at Glastonbury Festival last summer, Mark Radcliffe declared them as one of his ?Highlights of the Festival? on BBC TV coverage, and subsequently invited them to play a session on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Show. The band have also performed a live session with Whispering Bob Harris on Radio 2.

The band have just released a brand new album in April 2017, following a highly successful crowdfunding campaign. The title track ?Year of the Clown? is a social and whimsical comment on the strange and disturbing times we find ourselves in, where the ?elected principles? in the world circus appear to be the fools.

With their quirky and original approach to music, and their passion, intensity and sheer joy of life, 3 Daft Monkeys have gained themselves a large and loyal cult following. Their music is hard to pigeon-hole, mixing and crossing many musical genres from Celtic, Klezmer, Gypsy, Balkan, Latin, Ska, Dub Reggae, Indie, Rock and even a hint of Shostakovich. 3 Daft Monkeys have always maintained an independent and cottage-industry approach to their musical career, and have gained a huge following whilst ploughing their own furrow through the music business, gaining momentum through their live performances and intensive European touring schedule.

Many more acts to be announced.
