A massively accomplished guitarist and bassist with a brilliant vocal style all his own, we have no idea quite what John's going to do - except that it'll be exceptionally good!
Snob Hill - well established favourites of the county-wide (and further!) folk scene with their glorious four part vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements of both traditional and modern material. Snob Hill are ever-present at the Cornwall Folk Festival on the principal stages and are highly sought after for festivals throughout the west country.
