THE FÊTE OF BRITAIN - Stealing Sheep

**Welcome to THE FÊTE OF BRITAIN - a rolling festival celebrating the Britain that we hold in our hearts. In the face of division across these Isles, it’s time to reclaim a nationwide pride in a country that is rooted in care & inclusion.**

**Celebrating the curry and Corrie, Windrush and Windermere. Uniting nations and neighbourhoods. Bringing together bands, organisers, sound systems, local legends, printmakers, poets and more.**

**STEALING SHEEP (live & signing)**

**Liverpool-based Electro Pop trio Stealing Sheep are known for their fresh, experimental approach, eclectic use of artistic influences and slick vocal blends.**

**AMIQUE**

**Amique is a producer, songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Liverpool. His music blends Soul, R&B, and Jazz, exploring themes of love, sex, spirituality, and loneliness with raw honesty. A proudly gay, self-taught artist, Amique draws inspiration from Prince, Joni Mitchell, and D’Angelo, approaching music as a form of prayer — a way to heal, uplift, and connect.**

**Rooted in Liverpool’s vibrant heritage but shaped by global influences, he continues to push boundaries, challenge norms, and create work that speaks directly to the soul.**

**CHILD OF SOWO**

**ChildofSowo is a composer and cellist, whose genre blending sound features a mix of Jazz, Bossa, Neo-soul and Folk. Think Lianne La Havas, or Corinne Bailey Rae, with a touch of something different.**

**JOSEPH ROBERTS, with JESS HARVEY on piano**

Joseph is an award-winning poet from Liverpool, humbly starting his poetry journey when he first performed in assembly at his secondary school at sixteen years old.
