Guy Pratt – Rock ‘n Roll stand up. Ex Pink Floyd bass player ..A backstage pass for those of us who didn’t make it to the gig…An hour of rip-roaring anecdotes…Like being seated on a train journey next to the most interesting man you ever met...what tales he has to tell …A fascinating glimpse behind the rock 'n' roll curtain…Pratt is pretty hilarious..He regales the audience with hilariously indiscreet anecdotes about the stars he’s worked with.

Mr. TEA & THE BISCUITS - Mr Tea and the Biscuits are a 4 piece band based in Sligo, Ireland.

Sarah McQuaid-Comparisons have been drawn to the likes of The Doors and Crosby, Stills & Nash, and there are strong folk and jazz influences running through (not to mention Western twangs, Eastern rhythms and Mariachi trumpets) ... but above all, these are songs that lodge firmly in the brain and stay there.
