Whether you're watching Tom Dibb solo or with band, get set for a beautifully gutsy performance, as he tells his stories with undertones of blues, roots and folk, grown through a forest of soaring acoustic goodness.
Tom has found his sound set firmly with an ever growing, loyal fan base that follow him not only across his home turf in the UK, but also across the Globe. Tom's world tour and self drive expedition in his 1989 vw camper-van all the way from the UK to Australia in 2016, lay the foundations and inspiration for much of his material. It fits into mainstream moulds, yet also satisfies a deeper creative taste.
Hailing from the birthplace of the Boss, meet the alt-indie folk artist Run Remedy: expressive, rhythmic, melancholic, and slightly irreverent tunes by Robin Koob. An apostate of the classical world, Koob is a multi-genre violinist complete with pedal board, hustling across the UK playing everything from post-rock and heavy metal to psych pop, indie and Americana with artists like Francis Lung, Hannah Ashcroft, Craig Gould, Blanket. Dawn Walker, and PIJN. She's session'd her way from the Jersey shore to Beijing, building her creative voice along the way, making for an intricate and unexpected audio experience.
Doad was introduced to the CamperVan Live Lounge last year by Run Remedy. George had come along to accompany Robin on guitar and vocals, we then established what a fine songwriter, and artist he is himself.
Based in Manchester, England. Doad dedicates time to writing and recording songs with the aim of bringing, even a molecule, of peace to people who feel they are living in a world that is deviantly spinning into an accelerated state of entropy. Just kidding, pair these songs with a tired body, they could give you something back.
Whether backed by band or alone on stage, Joseph Lofthouse has the ability to calm a room and draw an audience into his world. With a technical prowess and evocative lyrics, Joseph weaves personal experiences and stories into life with the gift of a classic songsmith. So wherever he travels, acoustic guitar in hand, his music is met with the same rapt attention.
This attention has drawn support slots and accolades with the likes of Elbow and The Boxer Rebellion as well as performances numerous festivals and gigs around the UK and Europe:
Rishiraj Kulkarni is a multi-percussionist musician based in The Netherlands and India, graduated with Honours in Music from Middlesex University, London (U.K.) specialising in Indian classical music, western classical music, and audio technology.
His primary instrument is the tabla, with which his journey in music began, he also plays the handpan, steel tongue drum, marimba, xylophone, and vibraphone to name a few. Since 2012 he has collaborated and performed with artists from various art forms such as illustrators, painters, thespians, poets, singers, ballet dancers, western classical orchestras and Indian classical musicians, performing across Europe and India.
Hannigan is a travelling singer-songwriter. True to his English-Irish roots, he has created a unique sound only identifiable as his own – acoustic soulful folk with distinct influences of carefree surf rock.
His earnest and anecdotal writing style carries you like a backpack on an adventure; a journey of heartache, hope, and healing. Eyes will well, feet will tap, and heads will bop. After four years in the making, 2024 saw Hannigan release his debut album ‘I’ll Be Home Soon’ he has since toured Australia, and this summer releases and tours his new EP 'Golden'
Samuel Ashton's music has been described as "Deliciously Soulful" by the BBC's Leo Ulph and his latest EP carries a message to "Breathe Easy" with "Stillness in the face of adversity".
Samuel's soul voice and classic RnB sound have seen him sell out shows across the UK and make waves with over 320k streams on Spotify and radio play on the BBC, throughout Europe, the United States and Australia.
His latest record sees him work with a talented team of musicians including Teskey Brothers' collaborator trombonist Ernest Stuart.
Playing live for over 12 years around Hertfordshire, London and the West Midlands, TROI’s musicianship has been born and bred into her from a very young age. Attending folk festivals with her family her whole life, acting on theatre stages, learning the violin and piano in her early years of school before teaching herself the acoustic guitar at age 11, this girl was born a performer and a deep-rooted songwriter.
Inspired by Artists such as Taylor Swift, John Martyn, Ben Howard and The Breath, TROI takes her own approach on songwriting telling thought provoking stories through metaphor and philosophical contemplation .Determined to keep live music alive, you will always find her on the music circuit and she is constantly finding new and creative ways to promote her own music and releases as a DIY independent musician
Live music will commence from 7pm and amplified music will wrap by 11pm. We do then have a tendency to unplug and bring it in round the fire till the early hours though of course.
Can't wait to welcome you to our magical scottish hideout, and here are some shots from last years shows.
