“We are Bicycle Repair Man. We do not mend bicycles.

Only broken hearts.”

"Combination of finger-style acoustic guitar and looper

music"

The Blue Room Baboons mix explosive modern covers, funk & disco classics and smooth soul grooves ...a true live experience to be reckoned with!

"The Babysnakes formed in 2000 over a mutual love of sugary tea and acoustic guitar driven pop songs. Following a short ten-year hiatus, they are embarking on a mission to make everyone's life better via the medium of nicely written and executed pop songs."

Jack is a new, young and upcoming talent. Performing for the first time with us at the Ashill Beer and Music Festival.

Covers and Originals band from Somerset in the UK

Walking Football in Ashill This is proving to be a popular Wednesday evening activity! It has very specific rules that outlaw all running and allows no contact between players. Teams are either 5 or 6- a -side. As a result of the rules the match is played at a brisk walk reducing injuries. If you used to play football or have never played but are interested please contact Smurf at [email protected] or 849134
