Jol Rose
Jol Rose is a Swindon-based singer-songwriter with London roots, known for his raw blend of Americana acoustic folk performed everywhere from moving trains to remote Pacific islands. His debut album My Nebraska (2019) was recorded at Swindon’s Earthworm Studios, combining stateside influences with a homegrown sense of desolation. In 2020, he self-produced Welcome to Zombieland from his box room, weaving together themes of fake news, dystopia, and fractured dreams. His third album, Peace Love Americana, expanded his sound with contributions from long-time collaborator Rachael Birkin on fiddle, pedal steel player Holly Carter, keyboardist Jon Buckett, and other talented musicians.
Jol’s forthcoming album Liars & Thieves is set for release in early 2025, with the first single – including the title track and Palestine, Free – launched in summer 2024. Over the years, Jol has toured extensively, including multiple trips across Germany and Holland and a tour along England’s south coast. Whether through lockdowns or live gigs, he’s kept the music moving – often in his trusty Corsa – forging new friendships and sharing his heartfelt, sharply observant songs along the way.
Peter Trott
Peter Trott is a singer-songwriter and pianist from Kent who has been performing since 1988, both in bands and as a solo artist since 2008. With decades of experience on stage, he brings a rich musicality and passion to every performance.
Peter’s repertoire spans an impressive range of popular music from the 1960s to today, covering legendary artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Supertramp, The Police, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon. His versatile setlist showcases a deep appreciation for timeless music across genres and generations.
