Leatherat

Purveyors of hi-octane folk rock, Leatherat are dedicated to playing original folk-rock music fast and loud.



Leatherat have played to over 150,000 people during the course of their existence; in more than 300 venues, festivals, clubs and pubs. They are well recognised on the touring festival circuit. Formed in 2004 they have shared stages with highly acclaimed acts including Levellers, Hawkwind (Space Ritual), Fairport Convention, Status Quo, Jethro Tull, 3 Daft Monkeys, Seth Lakeman, Newton Faulkner, Steve Harley, Scouting For Girls, and The Christians. They are a huge favourite at Weyfest and have played here at the RLC every year… whether we ask them to or not!!

Influences of the band are Levellers, Fairport Convention, Hawkwind and Wolfstone to name but a very small few.

The True Deceivers

The True Deceivers have been developing their own blend of rootsy folk rock/Americana since their formation in 2003. Former Blazing Homesteads Nick Bliss (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, vocals), Dee Coley (bass) and the late and sadly missed Mark Mitchell (fiddle) were joined by former Plenty frontman Graham Firth (vocals, guitar) and Jamie Legg (drums) and have since become favourites on Surrey music scene and regulars at festivals including Guilfest, Weyfest, Haslemere and Bearded Theory. Chris "Spud" Edwards joined the band on fiddle at the start of 2013



Since 2012 the True Deceivers have reverted to their full electric line-up, which they had temporarily swapped for a more stripped-down acoustic sound following Mark’s untimely death in 2009. 2012 also saw the long-awaited release of the band’s second album, Hell or High Water, which built on the critically-acclaimed song writing and vocal harmonies of their 2007 debut Lies We Have Told..

STEViE One Bloke One Mandolin



For the last twelve years STEViE has been playing regularly at many motorcycle rallies and festivals all over the UK receiving some great reviews and picking up new fans at every gig.



For a good few years he has, amongst many other gigs, regularly played/compered marquees for the National Association for Bikers with Disabilities (NABD) at their rallies and became a patron of the NABD in 2010. He has played at Nabbed By The Trossachs in Scotland and NABDonia in Wales and also played/compered the Family Marquee at Autumnn NABDness in Oxfordshire in September.



As well as many NABD motorcycle events he has also appeared at the Bulldog Bash, Weyfest, Blissfields, The Shires Show, Americana, the OGRI Rally, the Farmyard Party. Quay Vipers MCC's Snakebite Rally in Limavardy in Ireland, the Saints & Sinners Rally in Scotland, Westport's Folk & Bluegrass Festival in Ireland and the Akaciju aleja bard festival near Kaunas in Lithuania.



STEViE's music is gutsy, edgy and raw - a hardcore, barstool troubadour - with a voice as raw as cigarettes and single malt in a backstreet bar late on a Saturday night
