Geno Washington and Yo Yo Blues

Geno Washington and Yo Yo Blues

9 May 2025 - 9 May 2025

Geno Washington and The Yo Yo's + Rich Young Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band had two of the biggest selling UK albums of the sixties. Amazingly both of these were live albums. Hand Clappin, Foot Stompin, Funky Butt Live was in the album charts for 48 weeks of the year 1966 and was only out-sold by The Sound of Music and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme. US soul acts rarely visited the UK and, having come over as a part of the US Air Force and stayed, Geno was our soul man. His level of touring and the high energy of his gigs was, and still is (as immortalized by Dexy's Midnight Runners in the 80's hit Geno) the stuff of legends. During his sets, the beat was continuous and the hits were incessant. It was really Geno who pioneered this Go, Go style of performing and the audiences simply could not get enough. With the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Pink Floyd in support Geno could never relax. These spiritual meanderings were abruptly halted when, in 1980 Blighty beckoned once more. A call came from old friends in the UK that a tribute called Geno (mentioned above) had gone to number one in the charts. In interviews, the singer, Kevin Roland, was speaking of this legendary soul man, whose name they used to chant up and down the land and public interest in Geno was growing for a new generation. Soon, Anglophile Geno, was back in the UK and back on the road. The arrival of the nineties saw Geno go back to his roots (he was a Blues singer originally in his home, town of Evansville, Indiana) doing a show he called Cut Loose and Singing the Blues. This was a great success and spawned the band The Purple Aces. He then took this band to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival, had a great reaction and a three week sell-out run. This in turn resulted in a collaboration with Ray Fenwick (The Spencer Davis Band) and an album called Change Your Thoughts You Change Your Life. We are so pleased to have the incredibly talented Rich Young opening and it's his Birthday
Albert Lee returns

The British-born country-rock artist started his career during the emerging rock 'n' roll scene of sixties London, when he swapped bands with the likes of Jimmy Page and Chris Farlowe. After moving to the U.S. and assimilating himself into the country music scene, Albert quickly garnered a reputation as one of the fastest guitar players in the business. He recorded a number of solo albums, and won a Grammy in 2002 for his contribution on 'Foggy Mountain Breakdown'. He continues to tour today, and plays his signature Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar. Alongside his UK band, performing songs from his latest album, Lay It Down, this is your chance to see a real life music legend in action.

Transmission (the Sound Of Joy Division)

26 Sept 2025 - 26 Sept 2025

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UKs number one Joy Division tribute act.

Robert Vincent

Robert Vincent

14 Nov 2025 - 14 Nov 2025

The Liverpool singer/songwriter released his fourth studio album in 2023, Vincent, having made a more personal album than ever before. Maintaining his status as one of the most acclaimed voices in the UK Americana scene, Robert's new songs represent a left turn for an artist who is ready for something more. The new album has more of a concise sound, Robert says. The songs arrived throughout 2022 and are born from personal experiences rather than the social commentary of the last album. Robert's third LP, the critically acclaimed In This Town Youre Owned, won the Americana Music Association UK's Album Of The Year award for 2021. Receiving critical acclaim, the record charted at number 2 in the UK Americana Charts and was named in American Songwriter Magazine's top 20 albums (every genre) of 2020. Vincent's powerful and soulful voice that attracted acolytes such as Bob Harris and Mary Chapin Carpenter still leads the way. In 2016, Harris awarded Robert with his Emerging Artist of the year award at the inaugural UK Americana Awards show, describing Vincent as absolutely magnetic and the real deal. In 2018, following the release of Robert's Ill Make The Most Of My Sins (AMAUK Album of The Year 2018), he was invited to perform on the BBC Old Grey Whistle Test, For One Night Only closing the show. It was this performance that would propel him to number 1 and 2 in the iTunes Album and Singles Charts. Robert won Song of the Year this year at The Americana Music Association UK with his song Follow What You Love & Love Will Follow". Robert has been opening and still is opening for Robert Plant in the UK and Europe as well.
Franck Carducci and The Fantastic Squad

Franck Carducci and The Fantastic Squad

12 Sept 2025 - 19 Sept 2025

The first album Oddity was full of promises for the start of an epic journey, but it is on stage where he starts to carve his signature – costumes, make-up, psychedelic atmospheres, humour and sensuality. Yes, you think of Genesis, of Alice Cooper and David Bowie, of Led Zeppelin and Pink-Floyd too. But eventually, you will no longer think of anybody else. Following the release of the highly anticipated 'Torn Apart', featuring special guest Steve Hackett (Genesis), the 'Tearing the Tour Apart' hit the road in Europe and Franck reinforced his show as one of the most irresistible in the rock scene. 2017 saw the release of a live DVD/BluRay of the tour, which, after about 100 dates, ended with a standing ovation on stage of the Loreley 'Night of the Prog' festival in front of 6000 people. Carducci, as Master of Ceremonies, leads his Rock n Roll Circus where each of his players embodies a side of his music. Who can explain how a 12 string guitar extra neck would be added to a bass guitar, how a powerful guitar riff would go with a hot belly dance, or a Mellotron solo would end up in a duel with a didgeridoo? Who can also explain how Achilles, guitar and sword in hand, would kidnap a sensual Alice from her Wonderland? However, let them pick you up and take you in the palm of their hands – you won’t want to leave until the very last note of the concert. Your senses will not be given a second of rest while these characters take you to a place where dreams are kings, emotions are queens and musical genres are crossed with no borders.
