Julia is an Italian singer-songwriter, busker, and multi-instrumentalist in
Brighton, UK. Julia started her music journey on guitar and vocals, a world of possibilities opened as she discovered her uniqueness combining native instruments with her newfound ukulele. With heartfelt songwriting, lyricism,
and sweet vocals, Julia implements the ukulele as the centrepiece of her writing and live shows, engaging crowds across Europe.
Hailing from the North of England, Warehouse of Thieves is a dynamic band. They blend progressive rock, contemporary folk, and indie sounds into their original music. Plus, get ready for some cool renditions of popular tunes. With harmonies, solos, and beats that'll have you moving, their live show is a must-see. They're not just great musicians – they know how to entertain and engage the crowd too.
Phil’s love of vintage blues, swing, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs and gives new life to classics. With just his big voice, stomping foot, and driving rhythms on both ukuleles and banjos he'll take you back to the juke joints of the 20s.
His original songs blend in seamlessly, with many believing them to be old songs that had passed them by.
John is a UK Comedy Magician and a past winner of the Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year competition. In 2019 he was a semi-finalist on Britain's Got Talent.
Considered by many to be one of the best comedy magicians in the UK today. As Las Vegas magicians Penn & Teller said, “He fooled us”, but don't take their word for it; they all tell lies for a living. We're excited he can join us again and host the Gala Show!
Here's the programme for last year - 2026 will be release in September but expect similar things!
