We start big! Series headliner and cult hero Beans on Toast gets us off to a flyer at our beautiful sea-view setting.
-
A self-titled folk outlaw, Beans twists an age-old genre with his inimitable take on contemporary concerns, telling it like it is.
He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues, from modern-day protest songs to honest and open love songs. Songs that will make you laugh out loud, but also make you think about the bigger picture, his charming crooning is packed with no holds barred honesty and quick wit.
He’s played every Glastonbury since 2005, along with festivals all over the world, and we're very pleased indeed to welcome Beans on Toast to RE:SET this year.
Piano wizard King Killership will warm us up, before joining Beans on stage to perform together.

Craig Sutton, aka 'The Flamenco Thief, plays Spanish acoustic guitar like you’ve never seen. Utilising a loop pedal to blend modern rhythms with time-honoured Flamenco techniques, he blends Spanish acoustic, Latin, rumba, and bossa nova with hip-hop and electronica and he will leave you reeling in awe and wonder in the process!
Western, Eastern and African rhythms have allowed him to connect and build long lasting friendships with people all over the world. He has entertained crowds in Turkish parks, German kitchens, Serbian street festivals, Dutch hospitals, French chapels and forthcoming on a Cornish clifftop.

Get ready to dance at dusk, with high vibes alfresco disco from DJ Hank Champagne of Bodywork. Currently celebrating their 10th year of beats and parties in Bristol.

We have something more than a little special planned on the 7th August. Not only will multi-instrumentalist and mega-talent Rachael Dadd be serenading us, but she’ll be joined by members of her very own Oak Choir from Bristol to bless us with some truly uplifting harmonies.
Support comes from the newly formed super group Geminid, who feature a former world champion beatboxer amongst other talents, plus the beautiful loops and lulls of Cornwall native, FARE.
-
One of Lauren Laverne and 6 Music's favourite artists, Rachael Dadd writes folk-pop full of wisdom and instrumental warmth. With songs that disarm and inspire, she has headlined tours around the UK, Europe and Japan and regularly performs with long-time friends and collaborators This Is The Kit and Rozi Plain.
We are extraordinarily excited for her to be performing a one-off show alongside Oak Choir. Hoping to create a magical moment on the cliffs, where the magnificence of group harmony collides with nature's beauty.

Bristol based band Geminid was born out of a series of unexpected moments. From an evening jam as strangers to a week of writing by the sea, culminating in a debut performance supporting Plastic Mermaids. Hailed as ‘transcendental’, their undeniable live energy captivates and surprises. The four musicians that make up Geminid are Bellatrix on double bass, electric bass, vocals and beatbox, Claudia Kennaugh on vocals and percussion, Jac Limbrick on electric guitar, flute and vocals and Josh Doughty on kora and vocals. Together they weave their rich musical history and influences allowing the sound to dance in the liminal space between genres.
A clear soul connection to an unknown path ahead.

Regularly playing Sofar Sounds, and recently recording for Mount Shayne Library in Devon, FARE's open and effortless ambient indie-folk is a joy to behold. Captivatingly beautiful sonic landscapes provide a luscious backdrop to thoughtful lyricism. (Think Phoebe Bridgers, Grouper, Adrianne Lenker, Squirrel Flower).
Since releasing her debut EP ‘Overgrown’ in October 2017, FARE has continued performing at intimate venues all over the UK ~ as well as at festivals including Boardmasters, Glastonbury, and The Great Escape. She joined Ben Howard in Utrecht, NL, in late November 2018.

On his regular radio shows on Bristol's Noods Radio, Tom traverses a space between the transcendental lushness of balearic beats, and the chunky grooves of 90's downtempo jams.

Alfresco bands a-hoy! Our full band event, where Cousin Kula's lush, sun-drenched pop masterpieces will nestle side-by-side with nu-skool mellow jazz and alt-folk perfection.

Cousin Kula have created their own otherworldly musical universe of serene pop.
“the possibilities of jazz, the emphatic energy of club culture, and the sonic tapestries of psychedelia” CLASH remark.
We are HUGE fans of their recent album on Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section International label. The Cousin Kula sound is unmistakable, instantly familiar - just somehow renewed. Featuring earworm after earworm, the album matures and evolves with every listen.
Masters of the live show, honed over hours and hours of playing time in the Bristol and UK scene, these guys are on a par with the lushness of contemporaries like Khruangbin and Tame Impala, with the underlying soul and funk of Sault.

Oli’s take on soulful jazz music delivered with a purpose inspired by his early Californian roots, nostalgia-tinged, beautiful and unrelenting. His latest EP features some of the best musicians of Bristol’s jazz scene (Snazzback, Rwkus, Bristol Lockdown Big Band).
He’s been featured on Emeli Sandé’s album Let’s Say for Instance, opening the track Summer with his clear and delicate saxophone sound. After a successful tour and release of his debut EP A Brief Return to Solitude, which has gained widespread attention across the UK music scene and support from BBC Radio 6 and Jazz FM, Oli has solidified himself as part of Bristol’s burgeoning music scene and has extended his reach as one of the most exacting up and coming artists on the UK Jazz Scene.
Expect a unique blend of jazz and soul influences, emotive melodies and energetic grooves throughout.
"A burgeoning talent… conversant with many aspects of jazz and is already finding his own voice."
— Derek Nash - Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra

Brecon’s live shows mix a mastery of live drumming and synths with a penchant for introspective melodies, reflective harmonies, wandering through repurposed references to UK dance music. Having caught the attention of Max Cooper, Brecon’s debut EP ‘Cairns’ was released through Max’s own imprint MESH last summer.
