Sandra's Wedding

Drawing comparisons with iconic guitar bands like The Housemartins and The Smiths, Sandra’s Wedding are a Goole-based band who wear their working class routes firmly on their sleeves. With catchy songs and clever lyrics, the band’s 2017 debut album ‘Northern Powerhouse’ was met with rave reviews. Songwriter Joe Hodgson's lyrics are evocative tales of love, loss and life in Northern industrial towns set to jangly, melancholic guitars that have drawn comparisons with a sound similar to The Smiths and The Housemartins. Sepia-tinged yet humorous, they offer an insight into life in a former ship-building town.

Carrie Martin

Influenced by the likes of Eva Cassidy and Ann Wilson for her song writing, her unique style of playing defies categorisation. A type of hybrid picking that was taught between mixtures of her father, local Hull teacher John Shepherd and finally mentored by Gordon Giltrap, regularly leaves audiences and musicians alike, wowed, intrigued and impressed.
