Featuring FORBIDDEN JOE * BLACK SAND DIVA * POROA * FIONA McEWEN
FORBIDDEN JOE: Hailed by bFM radio as “up and coming folk superstars”, their dynamic
arrangements and funky grooves, spiced with influences of Jazz, Celtic, European and Soul will make for a quirky show of songs and tunes. The angsty vocals and smouldering tunes of Frances Dickinson (Concertina), the versatile and soulful grooves of Emily Giles (Cello) and the crankin' riffs of Alex Borwick (Banjo/Trombone) make up this one-of-kind musical menagerie. www.myspace.com/forbiddenjoe
