15.00pm - 16.00pm YARD OF ALE DRINKING CONTEST

16.00pm - 17.00pm SPOON THIEVES

"Following their hugely enjoyable afternoon set last year, the Spoon Thieves
return to the Newt, just in time to mop up after the Yard of Ale. A Taunton-based 3-piece, the Spoons have quality songwriting and a blistering live sound at the top of their agenda, and the result is a collection of tunes (and indeed, pedals) to be jealous of, as well as a reputation for consistently impressive performances with dazzling guitar sounds that'll melt your face off.

They are proud of being somewhat uncategorisable, but influences include Radiohead, Muse, Bluetones and Counting Crows. They also have some of the finest fan t-shirts and mugs in the business."
