HEADLINERS: Peerless Pirates

Peerless Pirates hail from middle England – the pastures of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire serving as their stamping ground. Their sound is a rollicking, roustabout mix of classic 80s energetic indie, sea shanties, rockabilly, surf-rock and spaghetti western soundtracks. “Rum-soaked fun” is a phrase often – and justifiably – bandied about. If you’ve forgotten the time when indie sounded fun, here’s your chance to get re-acquainted. 

Blend Choir

The first Blend Choir started in January 2013. ​The choirs give local singers a place to go once a week to sing, socialise and have fun! Email: info@theblendchoir.co.uk

Silversmith

Since forming in 2018, this four-piece Buckinghamshire band has gone from strength to strength, reaching the Battle of the Bands final in March 2019. Each band member is influenced by a different musical genre, which results in the Silversmith sound: hints of blues, jazz & funk fuse with their rock vibe.

Persephone in the Underworld

Persephone In The Underworld are an alternative trio act from Buckinghamshire whose primary action is to trigger psychedelic experiences via serotonin receptor agonism, causing thought and visual/auditory changes, and altered state of consciousness.
