About this Event

Join us for some live music from Oktoba with support from Tom Heath .



Oktoba

Blending alternative folk, pop and americana together with honest story telling. Oktoba is the project of solo singer-songwriter Chris Athorne.



The past year and up to now has seen Chris perform at Latitude, The Secret Garden Party, The Great Escape, Together The People and LeeFest festivals. Live shows have included slots at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Bar, support slots with Sweet Baboo, Flight Brigade and Jess Morgan and have taken him further a field to the United States. Where he played shows at The Rockwood Music Hall in New York and performed for Sofar Sounds in Chicago. All of which were part of a 20 date, 3 month stretched out tour. In January 2016 Chris was also featured in The Unsigned Guide’s Spotlight blog feature.

Tom Heath



'Tom Heath is an up-and-coming folk pop talent hailing from Kent. What makes Tom stand out is that the the lyrics are a main but, by far, not the only attraction. His compositions have been crafted with an eye for detail, with structures rich in variation, sophisticated guitar riffs and catchy, smooth, expressive vocal tunes – keeping all rules, but not formulas, of great pop songwriting"
