Larry Miller Band, Cherry Lee Mewis Trio
Guitarist Larry Miller is famous for his exciting, mesmerising guitar playing and rip roaring shows in the UK and around Europe. He is one of the most popular blues/rock acts on the live scene in the UK, bringing his unique showmanship and energy to every performance. Larry holds the record for the most encores at The Cambridge Rock Festival, returning the following two years to capacity crowds and standing ovations. In 2011 he appeared on the International Stage at The Great British R & B Festival with what was purported to have been the biggest crowd of the weekend. The performance was recorded and broadcast on BBC Radio 2.
Already this year, Larry Miller’s popularity is increasing further with another huge crowd at Skegness Rock and Blues Festival and ever increasing audiences at arts centres, theatres and music venues. He is booked to play major festivals in 2012 including two days at The Rory Gallagher International Festival in Ireland.

It’s 2012. It’s the third time around, and Cherry Lee Mewis means business. The 5ft-nothing, power-house singer songwriter has grabbed the musical bull by the horns, and together with her smokin’ hot band including long time collaborator and guitarist Max Milligan, has produced an exquisite and exciting self-penned third studio album; the aptly titled Heard It Here First. An 11-track-breath-of-fresh-air in a somewhat predictable British Blues music scene.
Cherry Lee Mewis on stage at 7.45pm; Larry Miller Band on stage at 9.00pm.
