With infectious grooves, funky vocals, and a tight rhythm section, they deliver electrifying performances that keep audiences dancing all night long.

Their music contains elements of 2000s and 1980s synth rock. The band comprises of Dan Hughes, vocals, guitars, synths, Sam McIver, drums, backing vocals, Nathan Hughes, bass, backing vocals. Their music often explores themes of triumph, lust, optimism, and yearning.

Brace yourself for clean, crisp, pop melodies that get any venue vibing. Sereniform is here to revive the essence of classic pop genres, leaving the rest in the dust. Prepare to be transported by the sensational sound of saxophone and face-melting guitar solos. Mesmerised by funky baselines, and hypnotised by solid grooves. this diverse fusion of musical elements is sure to leave you speechless and smiling.

Conor Smith

Busker, Singer/Song Writer and Guitarist… he's also been known to help us out at an event or two, lugging equipment back and forth from the festival site. So we've got him back to play us another wonderful set this year. A regular in the studio at Mill Farm Music and one of our favourite singer-songwriters, we're excited to have 'The Boy with the Blue Guitar" back.

Dream Robbery

Hailing from Yeovil, Dream Robbery is a three-piece rock band carving their own path through the UK’s underground music scene. With a sound that blends raw emotion, face melting solos, and fearless improvisation, they bring an unpredictable edge to every performance. Currently gearing up to record their debut album with us in June, the band is set to bottle the live magic that’s been turning heads across Somerset and beyond. Dream Robbery isn’t just a band; it’s a moment you have to feel to understand.
