THE BLOCKHEADS
They really need no introduction… Formed in 1977 to promote Ian Dury’s album ‘New Boots and Panties’ on the first Stiff Records tour of the UK, Chaz Jankel, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Charles, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher became known as The Blockheads.
In the years since, the band in all its forms and line-ups has built an extraordinary history of world tours, album releases and hits, including the classic ‘Hit me with your rhythm stick’.
CONNOR SELBY
Young troubadour Connor Selby’s childhood love of blues, soul and folk started him on a journey that has taken him into the heart of the music he loves. His soulful blend of blues and introspective songwriting are perfect complements to his stunning guitar playing. Signed to Provogue Records and boasting a critically acclaimed self-titled album, Connor was voted “Young Artist of the Year” for three consecutive years and is up for numerous awards at the UK Blues Awards 2024.
He has opened for The Who at Wembley Stadium and performed alongside Pearl Jam, Stereophonics, Johnny Marr, Robert Cray and has just finished a tour with Joanne Shaw Taylor.
HOLLIE ROGERS
Known for her extraordinarily powerful voice, Cornish singer, songwriter and guitarist Hollie Rogers has been nominated for multiple awards, so we are truly honoured to welcome her to open the Big Top stage on Friday night.
A regular on the festival scene, Hollie has supported the likes of KT Tunstall, Suzanne Vega, Midge Ure, Paolo Nutini and Ralph McTell.
