Local & Live at Olby’s is all about showcasing some of the finest music in Kent, specifically Thanet & South East Kent.Having started these nights in the Spring of 2023, we now run them bi-monthly alongside plans to run another 12week Local & Live Spring Series in 2024!

It made perfect sense to tie some Local & Live nights in with our programming for IVW2024, and our first one comes with some returning faces!

Big Steve is a singer/songwriter based in East Kent, and will be performing a rare full-band set!
With lyrics that tell a story, coupled with the use of strong melodies, catchy hooks & a voice that catches everybody off-guard, Big Steve is more than worth a watch!

Luke J Dorman is a musician from the seaside town of Broadstairs, and has been hailed as one of the finest songwriters in East Kent, with awards to back it up!
After playing for us solo last year, Luke returns bringing a soulful, raw, rock energy with his full band!

The Clouds are a 6piece band from Ramsgate, bringing old-school indie vibes with an original twist!
Having started to create a real buzz around their shows, smashing their set here last year, the lads are back performing a stripped-back acoustic set!
