Diverse and eclectic Wight Hot Pipes, all the way from the Isle of Wight(!), deliver a mix of musical genres which fuse in their melodic melting pot to create an exhilarating cocktail of flavours, spanning the entire spectrum from Celtic, all the way through to contemporary dance and gritty rock. All with a twist of bagpipes which appeals to the Steampunk world as being so much out of the ordinary it becomes surreal.
It’s the sheer genius twist of bagpipes within their instrumental line-up that kicks the roof out of every venue they play. This, combined with the genius talent of lead singer Tori, is what gives Wight Hot Pipes absolute stand-out.
Thought you knew bagpipes? Think again! Wight Hot Pipes just brought the pipes smashing into folk/rock music with and edgy attitude that ignites the room and whips up a whirlwind of energy and euphoria that can sweep you off your feet.

Join us for an enchanting evening with the sensational four piece JC and the Folklore Fun Band — where high energy meets heartwarming melodies, and the steampunk spirit comes alive!
With the incredible local performers JC, Angelina, and their family, this multitalented band brings together an electrifying blend of Celtic folk, roots, blues, and world music that will have you tapping your feet and dancing in the aisles.
Prepare to be dazzled as they take you on a musical journey through rich traditions and vibrant sounds. From toe-tapping folk tunes to vintage soulful blues melodies, their diverse repertoire guarantees something for everyone. You’ll hear the enchanting strains of the fiddle, the rhythmic pulse of the drums, and the uplifting harmonies that make their performances truly unforgettable.
Their infectious energy and captivating melodies create an atmosphere that’s perfect for both the seasoned music lover and those looking for a fun night out.

Meet Major Blunder brings the whimsical spirit of steampunk to life through catchy tunes and delightful lyrics that celebrate the eccentricities of the Steampunk culture.
With a top hat perched jauntily and a heart full of whimsy, Major Blunder strums his ukulele, whisking audiences away to a world where corsets meet clockwork, and boots click-clack with every step.
His songs are a playful homage to the steampunk revellers, capturing their unique style and spirited gatherings.
Imagine lyrics that laugh at the absurdity of life in a corset, where every breath is a challenge, yet every twirl is a dance of freedom.

In true Steampunk style these guys bring a smile to your face as soon as they take to the stage and deliver a truly glittering performance of comedy and song.
This year we are hoping for that vintage Victorian twist to their show to get you singing along in merriment and joy. They have travelled to our Island to enthral you with their unique style of entertainment.
