Robb Johnson
Described by The Guardian as "an English original' Robb is recognised as one of the finest writers working on the UK music scene today. His background lies in the Folk Clubs of the '70s and generally in sounding off about things that matter and not just sounding off for its own sake! This includes the closure of breweries and pubs and the invite to our festival was something he couldn't resist.
A political writer in the best sense of the phrase, he has toured extensively with a variety of bands, and is particularly renowned for his collaborations with friend and fellow writer Leon Rosselson and for writing the song suite Gentle Men, an ambitious history of his own family, for the Passendale Peace Concert. Robb is nothing if not eclectic, Sometimes challenging, often humourous, but always bang on the mark, a set or two from Robb and his guitar is a real scoop for this year's Festival – who, it can fairly be said, has played everywhere from pavement to Albert Hall!
He's fond of a drop or two of the decent stuff as well. Make him very welcome.

Martin Smith Quartet
A well-loved local jazz band who perform regularly at the Caledonia pub, Catharine Street.
Liverpool based Jazz quartet formed in 2002 by trumpeter Martin Smith, favour a gentle and melodic approach to music, choosing its repertoire from a blend of beautiful standards and home grown compositions. The release of their first CD "Our Fathers" sparked a great deal of interest from top British Jazz label Candid Records and was championed on Michael Parkinson's national radio show. In addition to performing at numerous Jazz festivals nationwide, Cushfoot sustained an 8 and a half year residency at Hannah's Bar in Liverpool town centre and continue to play to appreciative audiences throughout the North West. Martin played for several years with the Muffin Men and has recorded with Space, Super Furry Animals, The Coral, the Lightening Seeds and Wizzards of Twiddly.
