The New Essex Bluegrass Band

Britain's most traditional bluegrass band, drawing on the works of Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers for inspiration. Led by Paul Brewer, they are regulars at all the major festivals and have firmly established themselves as one of the most popular bands both here in the UK and in Europe.

The band will be giving some of the workshops and leading the Sunday Morning Gospel Session.
