This is the Kit — This is the Kit

This Is The Kit has been a slow-burning success story for Kate Stables, originally from Winchester and now resident in Paris.

Rob Heron And The Tea Pad Orchestra — Rob Heron And The Tea Pad Orchestra

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra don’t care what genre you choose to put them in – western swing, country blues, ragtime hokum or whatever else– as long as you understand that they’re 100% sincere and 100% immersed. They live and breathe their music and you are bound to get immersed with them.

The Clives — The Clives

You may recognize the members of The Clives as they played a previous Graze as Daisy Trail. You can’t get more local than them – some members live in Hensting Lane! Featuring one of the UK’s finest drummers (Dave Houghton of the Joe Jackson Band), they will get the field jumping with their well-chosen covers.

Curse of Lono — Curse of Lono

Felix Berchtolsheimer’s country rock combo has had a terrific year of widespread touring and are looking forward to bringing their infectious stage show to Graze. “A sinewy, cinematic take on big-sky country roots rock.” – UNCUT

James Knights is a familiar and popular catalyst of the Winchester music scene. Having originally led synth-giants Scarlet Soho, James also featured at the first ever Graze Festival. Nowadays mainly touring in Germany, this will be a full-band Knights show with the musicians flying in specially from Berlin.
