2026 Line-up

Not only is the Gathering the place you to come to learn new skills, brush up on your old ones and meet some of the best bushcraft experts in the country but it has also become the place you come to gather and socialise round the campfire with friends, old and new. As part of this tradition we invite gifted musicians to come and entertain us all on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

The Bilberries

Friday @7pm

The Bilberries give pop and rock favourites a folky feel, arranging popular songs for acoustic guitar, violin and two singers. From Guns 'n' Roses to Simon and Garfunkel, from Thin Lizzy to James, the common thread is our own unique style. We are a band that enjoys playing with music and will take you along for the ride!

BIOGRAPHY

Adam Sweet delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed song writing with soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work.

Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the 60s and 70s, the independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter has carved out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana. Since first taking to the live scene in the South West of England at the age of 15 he has worked in various guises: solo acoustic, session player and band leader. The result is a consummate ability to switch from sensitive singer-songwriter to full-on blues rocker with ease, as demonstrated in his countless live performances and his output as a recording artist.

Since being crowned Introducing Stage winners at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival in 2023 the Adam Sweet Band have been rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the tightest units on the circuit. They have built on their success with triumphant performances at venues and festivals across the UK including London’s 100 Club, the Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals, Upton Blues Festival and they have supported the likes of Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras Band and Elles Bailey. In 2025 they were nominated in the category of ‘UK Blues Emerging Act of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards.
