After 10 yrs of living and playing throughout the U.S French quarter in New Orleans, Brothers Ben and Emile Martyn packed their bags and returned to Europe where they formed their own band ‘The Fallen Heroes’. They have created original compositions in a funky New Orleans style blended with a contemporary London sound ever since. Together with some of the finest young musicians playing in this unique style today, The Fallen Heroes offer a fresh approach to an already exciting form of music. Come and see for yourself!

Lewis Floyd Henry… A Jimi Hendrix Experience!
To celebrate the life of the great Jimi Hendrix CSB presents another blues legend in the making. Lewis harnesses the spirit of Jimi Hendrix to take busking to a whole new level with his harmonica, mini drum kit, fuzzbox and well-worn guitar. With the blues and reggae forming the cornerstone of his musical education, Lewis performs his own material, as well as cover versions of music from all genres and eras, from Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker, to modern classics.

Elephant Shelf
“These guys really know how to rock” – Barry Goldberg, (Bob Dylan’s keyboard player) and ELEPHANT SHELF really do rock! They bring a high energy selection of strikingly original blues based rock, rhythm and blues, and swing tunes. Led by Vicky Martin’s razor sharp electric slide guitar, coloured by Diana Stone’s vibrant fiddle & piano, heightened by Rosie Swan’s soulful vocals and underpinned by one of the UK’s tightest swing rhythm sections the Shelf presents two electrifying sets of music – think ‘Rolling Stones meets Delta blues meets Dylan’ and you’ll get the flavour, come on down and you’ll get the colour
too – one of the most colorful R&B acts around…
