The Shy Teds
Our line up consists of Ozzie our singer, Ian on guitar, Richard on drums, Paul on Bass and Alex on Keyboards. We don’t have any predefined era or style of music, we tend to play anything that is good – which means that out set list is quite varied and we tend to play something for everyone. We started as a group of friends that would go out on the “pop” most bank holidays. Rather than spend money drinking, they decided to get a band together and go playing instead – still having a drink, but playing a bit of music and getting paid for it. What started as a bit of fun on a bank holiday soon saw more regular pub gigs at venues in Gloucester like the Welsh Harp, the Deans Walk and the Ridge & Furrow. Playing more around Gloucester meant more exposure and it wasn’t long before we were being booked for weddings, engagements, birthdays, beer festivals, outdoor functions, anniversaries - you name it. Through out it all though, we’ve managed to maintain an element of fun and that seems to rub off on our audience. We aren’t a stuffy function band that takes themselves too seriously – we love playing music and we love playing to people who are up for a good time.
Saturday 28th July (gates open 4.30pm)
FreewateR
FreewateR is the HOTTEST Rock & Pop band out of Worcester. A great group of musicians that have joined together to play the kind of music that really gets them and the audience excited.

Lots of great favourites from British and American bands. Leslie Wilson is the singer with a great, unforgettable voice and has a passion for singing & entertaining the crowd. Dave Smith is the guitarist who can play anything with his own flair added. He can make any song his own with his rocky sounding Les Paul. He's played in other bands along the way, but FreewateR is lucky to have him! Dave (Bruce) Tomkins is FreewateR's fantastic second guitarist. His playing is up there with the greatest, he can really Rock 'n Roll that guitar - oh yeah, his AC/DC is amazing...you gotta hear it! He left us for awhile, but is back and ready to Rock! Together, Dave S. and Dave T. share the leads & rhythm. Dave Wilson is the bassist who really is the backbone of the band with his great sound and rhythm. He started out as a lead guitarist about 10 years ago, but has now switched to the bass. He plays it like it's second nature. And last, but definitely not least.....Pete Briggs is FreewateR's amazing new drummer extraodinaire! This man is truely a PROPER ROCK GOD! He can play anything from Rock to Funk and everything in-between and has played in bands touring Britain & Europe! FreewateR is so privileged to have him as their new and exciting drummer - he really punishes those drums!
