What's On
From The Jam
Bringing the eclectic festival to its climax will be FROM THE JAM, comprised of legendary former ‘The Jam’ bassist Bruce Foxton, vocalist & guitarist Russell Hastings, drummer Mike Randon, and Andy Fairclough on Hammond and piano.
Neville Staple
Second on the bill will be a dance extravaganza courtesy of NEVILLE STAPLE of The Specials. Charismatic Neville was with the Specials from day one and presents, with his band, a storming show of Specials hits such as Ghost Town, Rat Race and A Message To You, Rudy
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. The unique music based on Kate’s songwriting and unaffected vocals has charmed audiences worldwide on their tours with The National. We are privileged that they are returning to their roots to play for us.
Rob Heron And The Tea Pad Orchesta
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
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
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
Knights
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.
Lucy Kitchen
We are delighted to welcome back Lucy Kitchen, as she played at the first ever Graze Festival. One of the South’s leading folk artists, Lucy has a new album out called Sun To My Moon, produced by another fine local musician, Tali Trow. This will be a full band performance.
Jesse Dayton
Graze is happy to welcome its first American artist. Come and listen to this tall Texan take you on a zydeco-flavored trip through his musical mind, you will not be disappointed!
Lucas and King
Bo Lucas and Hayleigh King are an inspiring up-and-coming Southampton-based duo with a truly individual sound based on distinctive vocals and inspired electric guitar playing. They will get the day off to an intriguing start with songs from their debut EP Truly Not Yours.
The Bobonboboffs
The field will be jumping as these young Southampton upstarts blast out their scratchy, in-your-face ska extravaganza. In the Graze spirit of finding and encouraging local talent, The Bobonboboffs were discovered by our scouts playing at Winchester’s Railway Inn.
