Look Out It's The Broom Busters!!!

Look out it’s
THE BROOMBUSTERS
The greatest Rock’n’Roll, Blues & Ska Party on this – and probably any other – planet

Born in the heart of Big City Birmingham, fronted by the wild, wacky – and not a little scary – Charlie Wolfman Sylvester, this five piece combo generates enough power onstage to blast off into space, which can happen on a not irregular basis.

Wolfman is the band’s secret weapon, and it’s not surprising that the man has a background - and what a background.

Remember the exuberant and colourful JALN Band that seemed to inhabit – alongside Kool & The Gang and Chaka Khan - the Top of the Pops Studio throughout the 70s and 80s with a seemingly endless run of disco soul hits? Managed by pop guru Pete Waterman the band toured the world for some 25 years and clocked up hit after hit. And that’s where The Wolfman came from, the star of The JALN Band. Then The Wolfman decided to return to his roots – and The Broombusters were born.
Extravagant, entertaining, infectious enthusiasm and danceability in spades – that’s The Broombusters.

Coming at you.
Don’t duck, just dance.

Wildwood Music Festival August 2015

LIVE ARTS IN BRIGG; The Wilsons, supported by Dave Vermond

   LIVE ARTS IN BRIGG – concert with The Wilsons, supported by Dave Vermond

It might seem unlikely that a group who have sung on both Broadway and at the Albert Hall could be performing in Brigg, but that’s what’s happening in a concert at The Angel, BRIGG in March.

The group in question is The Wilsons, a group of five brothers from the north-east who opened in Sting’s musical, ‘The Last Ship’, on Broadway last summer. Before their two special performances with Sting at The Sage in Gateshead at the end of April you can see them in Brigg first!

The brothers each have unique and very powerful voices which have gained them a huge following wherever they go. Singing either individually or in close harmony, they perform both traditional and more modern material – along with a large helping of humour – making every concert a truly memorable one. One of the brothers, Chris, has close links with the area, having lived in Winterton for a time some years ago, when he was a popular local singer.

Their support at the concert is also familiar to local audiences. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Dave Vermond was a great favourite when he sang regularly in the area a few years ago. His witty songs, great voice and brilliant musicianship will perfectly complement The Wilson’s powerful performance – it promises to be a terrific concert, so don’t miss it!

The concert is at the Angel Suite, Brigg on Sat March 7th  at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from Brigg Tourist Information Centre £12 (£14 on the door). Tickets may also be reserved on 

01652 678771 or 01652 653217.

The Norman Beaker Band with Larry Garner: Dates Available in May and June 2015

The Norman Beaker Band with Larry Garner: Dates Available in May and June 2015

Norman Beaker...

Norman Beaker has been at the forefront of the British Blues scene for over 4 decades playing with Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Tony Ashton, Paul Jones, Eric Burdon and many others.

BB King commented, “Norman is like a white Freddy King”, a compliment indeed, and not one wasted on the many artistes Norman has subsequently worked with including: BB King, Jimmy Rogers, Buddy Guy, Lowell Fulson, Fenton Robinson, Chuck Berry, Carey Bell James Booker, Jon Lord, Larry Garner and Ruby Turner to name just a few.

What they say about Larry Garner...

Garner's mellifluous lead guitar chops are akin to B.B. King's and are relatively free from rock influences ... Extremely musical and imminently listenable blues that should bring the name Larry Garner to a large audience.- Blues Revue

Is Larry Garner the best songwriter in blues today? Yes, easily. - "West Coast Blues Review”

In a decade when veterans and youngbloods alike rely too heavily on overdone standards and cover material, Garner churns out clever, challenging, uncompromising and thoroughly

contemporary songs.- “Living Blues”

Introducing The Fyreflies

Introducing The Fyreflies

The Fyreflies are a Lincoln-based duo: Ben (guitars, vocals and bass drum) & Darryl (mandolin, vocals, guitar, flute, didgeridoo and bass) - and the occassional guest percussionist. As well as performing eclectic popular covers (including tracks from REM, The Cult, The Stranglers, Mumford & Sons, The Clash etc.) in their particularly folk/rock style, they also like to infuse Celtic rock, sea shanties and other genres with 'Ooomph'!

They also perform much of their own material, which has also been successfully received over local radio, festivals and other events. Along with the tight harmonies, evocative and bursting guitar/mandolin work, and their ability to engage with the audience, The Fyreflies could have you jigging in the hull of a galleon, singing along to rocking tunes or have you humming along with the Faeries.
