THE line-up has been announced for this year’s SC4M Festival, held over two rooms at the Railway Inn in Winchester in September.

This is the seventh year of the festival, which is entirely non-profit making and is dedicated simply to great music for real music lovers.

Featuring an Acoustic Room (The Attic) and an Electric Room (The Barn), as well as great food and ales, SC4M is the only festival that guarantees no mum, as it is held entirely indoors!

Headlining in The Barn is Missisippi born John Murry, who now lives in Kilkenny, Ireland.John’s new album, the follow-up to the hugely acclaimed The Graceless Age, is now complete, produced by and featuring Toronto’s Cowboy Junkies. He is a strange and magnetic live performer, a big favourite in Winchester who performed at the festival in 2013. This will be a duo show with Clive Barnes.

Headlining in The Attic is one of the greatest success stories to come out of Winchester in recent years. This is the Kit features Kate Stables, whose album Bashed Out has been a hit all over the world. The band appeared at Glastonbury recently.

Also on the bill are the Peter Bruntnell Band, the festival's lucky mascot appearing every year so far, with tracks from his album Nos Da Comrade, hotly-tipped Liverpool band The Buffalo Riot and Robert Vincent, a hit at last year's festival.

They're joined by a full band show from Small Town Jones, one for the future Nadine Khouri, fine solo artist MG Boulter and fast-rising country folk duo Lewis and Leigh, fresh from Glastonbury.

Jonas and Jane, a duo who specialise in clawhammer banjo and young talent Hayley Harland complete the bill.

Tickets for the festival, on September 11, are available from railwayinn.pub or from Hundred Records in Romsey.
