Hayley Moyses and the BLUEGRASS FORUM was originally formed in the autumn of 2006 after several hot picking sessions with like - minded musician friends in a pub in Norwich. Fuelled by real ale and lifted spirits it was at that point the idea for the forum was born. Following on from this the BLUEGRASS FORUM decided to open up the bluegrass genre to a wider audience; they did this in their own innovative style; covering class pop songs mixed with traditional breakdowns and creating a completely new genre of music called 'Popgrass'.

The BLUEGRASS FORUM have covered Beatles classics, songs from the playlists of Michael Jackson, Oasis, Undertones, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and now recently up to date chart hits. This list shows how bluegrass has become more accessible in the sense that it straddles several different musical genres. However, the Forum has not forgotten its early roots and continues to play Alison Krauss classics and more traditional bluegrass breakdowns

Alongside their three part harmonies, the group play dobro, banjos, guitar, fiddle, mandolin and double bass. The group's musicianship has an ease of professionalism and style. All of the Forum have many years experience between them from playing on the music scene. Their first album, 'From Norfolk to Nashville' was recorded before a successful trip to Nashville to play in November 2009. This album has been well received and has been played on many country radio stations throughout the world reaching high levels on several country music charts.

"One Step Behind" are the UK's PREMIER MADNESS tribute band. The band was formed in Spring 1993 and has achieved widespread recognition in an unusually short time.

At first they played low profile venues in their native London, but quickly progressed and were invited to play larger and more prominent venues such as The Grand, The Venue and The Marquee.

Each member of One Step Behind grew up as a Madness fan and for each, perfecting his portrayal of his original Madness counterpart has been a labour of love. They strive to match every detail of the original, both musically and in appearance.

Like Madness, One Step Behind are well known for their on-stage antics with which they build up an authentic 'Nutty' atmosphere. This is One Step Behind's philosophy - to carry forward the Mad mantle into the noughties and beyond.

They feel that by replicating one of the nation's best-loved institutions, they are keeping alive the spirit that inspired a whole generation, and still enjoys enormous popularity today. One Step Behind see themselves as perpetuating the popularity of Madness, who now rarely appear in public.”
