Sunjay is the antithesis of your typical denim clad disheveled folk and blues musician. From his perfectly groomed hair to his spotlessly shining winkle picker boots he walks onto the stage every inch the “city slicker.” When Sunjay starts to sing and play the guitar however, you are transported to a world where blues and country music meld seamlessly amidst humid mangrove swamps and red neck barbecues. Sunjay is, without doubt, the real deal.

Drawing from a rich, musical, and cultural background it is hardly surprising that Sunjay has quickly become recognised as one of the UK’s rising stars. His performances have been described as “mature and confident,” while his guitar playing has been hailed as, “superb, brilliant, experienced, intricate amd faultless.” Sunjay’s style has that natural drift between folk and blues.

Sunjay has in every sense, grown up in public, having performed regularly to ever increasing audiences from the age of seven. Now, at thirty years of age, Sunjay has become a master guitarist, who has crafted his show to perfection. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of his music, and a wicked sense of humour.

An evening with Sunjay is an evening of exquisite blues, country and folk music with sonorous vocals and a master class in guitar playing, interspersed with hilarious anecdotes.

Join Mean Mary, along with her brother Frank James, for an unforgettable night of music on her Woman Creature tour. This dynamic duo brings a blend of harmonies, fast-picking, and a dash of humour. Expect to hear crowd favourites like “Iron Horse” and “Blazing,” as well as new hits like “Tarzan” and the title track “Woman Creature” from her latest album.

Mean Mary, an award-winning musician and writer with over 35 million views on her YouTube videos, has captivated audiences since her childhood days playing for tips on the streets of Nashville.

Named Deering Banjos’ Goodtime Ambassador, Mary’s banjo playing is known to give chills, as noted by Janet Deering herself. Equally adept on the guitar, fiddle, and eight other instruments, Mary’s lightning-fast fingers, haunting vocals, and intricate storytelling make her performances truly unique. Whether it’s ghost pirates or demon guitars, you never know what fascinating tales will unfold in a Mean Mary show. Prepare for a high-energy evening filled with guitar, banjo, fiddle, and upbeat rhythms!

Award-winning musician/writer and fan favourite (over 34 million views on her YouTube videos), Mean Mary, literally grew-up in music. She evolved from a child prodigy who played for tips on the streets of Nashville (“startling talent” said the Tennessean) to a seasoned performer and headliner of over 4000 festivals and concerts (“the voice of a ragged Angel combined with the banjo playing of the Devil” says No Depression).
