Sunday offers a diverse program starting
with Joshua Batten (roots rock), followed by Aaron Pollack, a finalist in the 2020 International Blues Challenge, blending
blues, country and folk.
Piano Wizard Andrew Farrell brings Australian blues, boogie-woogie and jazz, finishing with Kathleen Halloran and band, a long-awaited booking for festival organiser Stretch.
