Below is the music line up for last year's Trifest, we will be announcing this years line up soon!
Cat Elliott is a bit of a genre-crossing wild card! Blending acoustic indie pop with alternative folk, her style is difficult to pigeon-hole. A quirky performer with an unusual voice, who swings from powerful and energetic to vulnerable and reflective. Whatever the mood, her catchy and lyrical songs tell stories in a way you're likely to remember.
Folky sounds
Equal parts, a jam, a community, a social club, a ukulele ‘boot camp’ and a gigging band. Endeavouring to be a force for good; supporting worthwhile causes, raising money for charity and promoting tolerance, acceptance and diversity by playing good songs with more enthusiasm than ability on tiny instruments. Musically, they steer clear of traditional ukulele tunes, preferring instead to delve into a repertoire that runs from Kylie Minogue to The Clash via The Vaccines and Lady Gaga.
Kinesis 4 are musicians who in their time have respectively played in a broad palette of outfits from rock, punk, indie and retro bands to bhangra, latin, electronic and world music. Coming together as a meeting of minds, hearts and souls to bring forth a new sound of 'Harmonic Rock' incorporating the many tentacles of rock, prog, blues, harmonies and world music. Cream for the soul.
Born and bred in Berlin, Monika studied music before moving to London and later to Southampton. Having spent a long time bringing up a family since, she has now rekindled her musical activity, including songwriting, and become a regular at various open mic nights around Southampton, whilst also co-running the Open Mic at the Dolphin in St Denys every Thursday. Her music is mostly a voice and a guitar, influenced by anything from classic rock to prog, the lyrics ranging from social conscience to politics, interspersed with witty and thoughtful songs, but she stays clear of meaningless bland love songs.
£40 Bob performed in eleven charity pantomimes as part of the £40 Theatre Company., Bevois Valley, hence his odd nickname. He now plays unlikely pop songs with a Latin and Reggae feel . Expect acoustic fun on guitar and harmonica, with sideman Steve on Bass, and sidewoman Monika on percussion.
Ged, a singer songwriter for over fourty years and a published author with a series of books 'Neander and the Dark Matter'. Over the years he has written music for his and other bands, plus two stage shows performed in Hoxton Hall theatre, London. With a blues/rock influence, D'Kenzion is a tilt of the soft cloth cap to the works of Charles Dickens. The songs whilst light and groovy, are a comment on the world today.
