Heading up the the M6 from Birmingham singer song writer, Jack Cattell will be taking the stage later on in the afternoon, for a rare Walsall  performance, showcasing music from his new EP, Locked Away.  https://jackcattellmusic.bandcamp.com/


Heading up the bill, we are very proud to have the return of the amazing songsmith, story teller and all round national treasure Ash Mandrake, who will be sharing his own unique brand of psychedelic folk. https://ashmandrake.bandcamp.com
