Driven Serious + Tankus the Henge

Event information

A night of upbeat, energetic powerful, unique and critically acclaimed bands. Including Punk Folk, Reggae and epic, bold and compelling pop!

Driven Serious - Fans recently described their performance as ‘F**k You Folk.’ Their intense energy, emotion, genuineness and fun always engage the audience to the extent that they leave wanting more. The lyrically driven songsmithery takes you on a dynamic rollercoaster of mood and emotion that is created by the high musicianship and talents of all members. You will never have heard anything quite like Driven Serious. They guarantee to deliver a truly engaging show and lift the audience with their acoustic / electric driven folk / punk. Cathy Geldard’s Shetland influenced fiddle is rhythmic, percussive, melodic, hard and warm, simultaneously and is a Driven Serious signature. Johnnie Walker’s Drums, driving the songs, is sure and inventive. Tim Packer’s upright, bowed and electric bass playing creates diversity from this multi-instrumentalist. The complimentary, sensitive chemistry between the members elevate Rob Jones’s songs, his rugged and dynamic vocals and his guitar playing to an explosive level. Their Debut Album has received wide critical acclaim. It can be heard here. www.drivenserious.com

Iceni - Iceni are an exciting new trio hailing from a place in the universe where goddesses are made, currently residing in Newcastle.

A trilogy of bass, drums and keys, their sound is at once mighty and small.

Whilst your neck will be craning for the axe-blade sharpness of their harmonies, the rest of your body will be beating a path to the front of the stage just to be near the thrum of the piano keys, whose precision and insistency is a force to behold - www.icenimusic.net

Pikey Beatz - A 7 piece Ska/Reggae band from the North East with their own individual take on music.

They like to think of themselves as a fun and energetic band that'll get a crowd moving with a smile on their face at the same time.


'This lot are musical bullies, I tried to stand still during the set but I couldn't. Clever rhythms and infectious beat, support a theatrical front line who honestly and effectively grab the audience and involve them in their storming on stage party..............in short a fucking great young festival/ dance band watch them and book them.' - Phil Murray, Doonan Family Band.
