Trickbabies + 23 Aces

TRICKBABIES
alternative rock band
23 ACES
23 Aces are a punk rock band hailing from Cirencester. With strong female vocals they write catchy fun songs with honest lyrics. Formed in 2006, born out of the desire to rebel from a career in dance, Donna had spent most of her spare time at university teaching herself to play guitar and writing lyrics rather than practicing her plies. So when she graduated she sought out some like minded people and got writing!! After a few different changes in the line-up 23 Aces have finally settled as a trio with Dan on drums since our first gig, and now a new addition of Jim on bass.

Ulysses + Nicole Fermie Trio

ULYSSES
"Ulysses look like a cluster of illegitimate love children from the Keith Richards/ Marc Bolan tryst of my dreams, ding-dong. They are a real rock 'n' roll band, delivered from the ‘70s and planted in The Cooler, minus the posturing. They aren't re-writing the rules, it being rock 'n' roll and all, instead smacking of melody and huge choruses. You can't help but stamp your foot, nod your head and prepare to bray at this Bath four-piece. Any band that has it's own cowbell section gets a high-five, thumbs-up, hearty pat on the back from this quarter. Crunchy guitars, geometric polo-necks and butterfly stickers are back: you heard it here." - Colette Thurlow, Venue Magazine (Feb 2008)

NICOLE FERMIE TRIO
To see Nicole play for the first time is a moment you’ll never forget. She exudes an infectious energy and displays a breath-taking mastery of both voice and guitar. Hers is a unique musical style evolved from an eclectic multi-cultural heritage: Born to Indian parents and brought up in Vienna, Nicole was educated at International School and classically trained on piano.
