"Weave wonderful stories from seemingly phantasmagorical realms in the most engaging of manners - warms the heart" - Jerry Ewing, Editor in Chief, Prog Magazine
Five-piece Kindred Spirit Band has a completely unique take on the Prog Folk Rock genre, often with a blues / rock element and weaving thrilling lead electric guitar and flute / sax with “perceptive and intriguing” song-writing, driving rhythms and "haunting and bewitching" female vocals. Their sound has been likened to Fleetwood Mac, Renaissance, Jethro Tull, and the Moody Blues.
Band founder and driving force, Elaine Samuels, began performing solo in folk clubs at the age of only 13, getting a mention in the local press as “one to watch”! She has featured on television, radio and at countless festivals and venues. To quote Rosie Upton of the Bath Evening Chronicle, "Elaine has a voice which can be both hauntingly beautiful & deeply emotional...it is her rich repertoire of perceptive, intriguing self penned songs combined with her guitar work which sets her apart".

Formed in 2006, The Zone are a Hampshire based 4-piece original rock band playing catchy riff-laden indie-rock with progressive/blues tendencies.
Powerful guitar riffs combined with solid bass, drums and atmospheric keyboards, The Zone are experienced musicians who have played at many venues around the Home Counties and in 2012 and 2014 they graced Guilfest’s Main Stage.
In 2024 they returned to Guilfest amongst other festivals bringing their unique high-energy sound that borrows from across the spectrum of time and genre, always containing a twist (or two) - think of it as a strange mix of Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chili-Peppers whilst The Stranglers and Cream look on! In 2025 they’re looking to play at select festivals and venues with their unique style to knock your socks off!
“I'd probably file this under the alternative rock category for the most part. I can certainly see The Stranglers influence, especially in the guitar patterns, the bubbling bass and the somewhat mono-toned vocals. The keys add a solid background that merges Floyd with Ultravox. The rare bursts of bluesy guitar solos are a joy, as is the use of pianos and the extended instrumental sections. They are never complex, but add additional dimensions to the songs where they are present; something that brings them out of the ordinary.”- Andy Read, DPRP.net
