JOHNNY KOWALSKI

Johnny will be playing on Saturday Evening at Harvest Camp 2023. FROM THE JOHNNY KOWALSKI ALBUM “OUT HERE FOREVER”:

The Gruffs

The Gruffs will be playing at our Friday Night Dance: Harvest Camp 2023.

Dance, laugh and expand your mind with a mix of neo-rockabilly, old school psychobilly and the psychedelic; an altered world of rock and roll, country, boogie-woogie, swing, and rough edged blues with lyrics that merge the mystic and comic.

Common Ground

Shropshire based folk group Common Ground will be playing at Lunchtime on the Saturday. More info and music can be found on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/commongroundband and Soundcloud soundcloud.com/common-ground.
