BLACKBALLED

Event information

BLACKBALLED
Oldham based 3 Piece "Groove Rockers" Blackballed have taken the blues and made their own style. They play it like they mean it but a tongue is always planted firmly in their collective cheeks. Featuring former New Model Army guitarist Marshall Gill with powerhouse backline Tom Wibberly on bass and Alex Whitehead on drums their infectious riifs and grooves are not to be missed.

THE AUTUMN SAINTS
Americana with a twist is where we find Oxford based four piece The Autumn Saints. The band’s music has its roots planted firmly in the American South, with lead singer Britt Strickland bringing the soulful, weighty music history of his home state of North Carolina to the City of Dreaming Spires.

STEVIE JONES & THE WILDFIRES
Stevie Jones and The Wildfires are a well-established Northamptonshire based independent 4 piece who deliver their own unique blend of modern alternative rock centred around powerful acoustic-based songwriting. Their 4th album 'Getting There' is out now.
“ There’s a raw alt-folk rock honesty (New Model Army, Levellers) but also a melodic Americana influence in the guitar-led songs (Ryan Adams, Tom Petty). And for those of us proggers, maybe even the slightest element of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in some of the more progressive rock moments” — Spirit Of Progressive Rock
