No gimmicks, no games, just good old fashioned music and mayhem.

John Fairhurst
“John Fairhurst is worth every bit of praise he’s already garnered. Capable of creating jaw-dropping moments live, he is possibly the finest guitarist you will ever see – and even better than that, he is able to couple those skills with brilliant songwriting and a gravel-­swilled belter of a voice. Search him out and prepare to be stunned.” -Chris Long – BBC Manchester

Popes of Chillitown
Six piece Dub/Punk band from London. Blending genres and each of the members’ influences makes for a unique sound and a breath of fresh air from generic bands that make generic music for fear of punters not “getting it”. A typical POPES OF CHILLITOWN show boasts soaring vocals, orgasmic guitars, sexy sax solos, banging Ska beats and chunky baselines.

Talk in Colour
“One of the most original, mesmerizing and enthralling acts around. Their debut album intrigues and draws you into their multi-layered sound where electronics, guitar, harp and vocals collide.” Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s)
