Tess – Local “grunge folke” artist, much loved in Folkestone and one of the people behind the excellent Zig Zag festival. Tess will be previewing tracks from his forthcoming album “Magpie” his sound is distinct and unmistakable – unique dynamic vocals, introspective lyrics and memorable guitar.
The Dealers – Pierre Vincent will be making his first visit to Folkestone with his new line up that includes violinist Gemma and percussionist Malcolm bringing you tracks from his recent CD “Charcoal on Black Paper” and his excellent back catalogue of self penned material with the odd well chosen cover.
Pete Molinari – PETE MOLINARI was born into a large Maltese/ Italian/ Egyptian family in Chatham, Kent, where he was discovered by Billy Childish.
