Chris Difford

Double Ivor Novello awardwinning lyricist and enigma Chris Difford has brought us characters and sketches from every day life, turning the mundane into the beautiful, the urbane into the exquisite, for over 30 years. With his partner, collaborator, friend and Squeeze co-founder Glenn Tilbrook, Chris has written some of the most enduring and best-loved songs of our time - 'Up The Junction', 'Cool For Cats' and 'Labelled With Love', to name but a few.

Climax Blues Band

For over five decades, Climax Blues Band has stood as a cornerstone of British music, crafting an unmistakable sound that blends deep-rooted tradition with progressive musicianship. Their international breakthrough Couldn't Get It Right, featuring the distinctive voice of Colin Cooper, soared to #3 on the US Billboard charts and remains a radio staple today with over 30 million Spotify streams. Albums like FM Live and Gold Plated cemented their reputation for both artistic integrity and commercial success, contributing to their impressive following of over 500,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Following the passing of Colin Cooper in 2008, the band's lead vocalist and driving force since their inception, Climax Blues Band continues the journey forward with Colin's explicit blessing and the full support of his family. Long-standing keyboardist George Glover, who performed with the band on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival in 1982, leads the ensemble, with lead vocalist Scott Ralph bringing sophisticated songcraft, commanding stage presence, and a unique dimension to the band's sound through his trumpet playing. The exemplary musicianship of stellar saxophonist Chris 'Beebe' Aldridge and the equally formidable, soulful guitar of Dan Machin pay homage to the legacy established by founding guitarist Peter Haycock and his successor Lester Hunt, who brilliantly held the guitar position from 1985. Anchoring the sound with over three decades of groove-making history together are the masterful rhythm section of Neil Simpson on bass and Roy Adams on drums — Roy having brilliantly held the drummer position since 1987. Aside from continuing to tour Europe and the U.S., their latest work, Hands of Time, achieved critical and commercial acclaim, and the band is now crafting their next studio album. With a set that honours their rich history and classic tracks, the band will also be performing new songs from the upcoming album. Expect blues with touches of funk, jazz, and soul - all delivered with that unmistakable Climax Blues Band sound that resonates with their 500,000+ monthly Spotify listeners. Don't miss this opportunity to experience Climax Blues Band live and understand why they remain such an iconic force in British music with millions of streams and a dedicated global following.

Alice Armstrong

’Prodigiously talented … Armstrong’s voice set the hairs on the back of my neck at full attention – I cannot remember the last time I heard such a purity of tone and a depth or range in a youngster’ - Music-News.com ‘Really loving that vocal!‘ - Craig Charles 'Nice pipes, Miss Armstrong' - Phill Jupitus Anyone who has heard Alice Armstrong live will tell you that few can match her diversity, stage presence and range. Previous works with bands such as Crossfire and a co-written album with the Stevie Watts Organ Trio has seen her in the top 20 IBBA albums of 2020 and secured multiple nominations at the 2021 UK Blues Awards, including 'Emerging Artist' and 'Band of the Year'. Alice started 2022 with bang with a sold out launch gig of her6 piece band at the Tuesday Night Music Club, creating a new acoustic duo with multi-award winning musician Matt Long (Catfish, Matt Long & the Revenant Ones) and being nominated for the UK Blues Awards Vocalist of the Year. Venerable, red-raw lyrics are delivered in a constantly evolving, sultry blend of Soul, Blues, R&B, Rock and Funk, peppered with a wry sense of humour. Likened to both Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin, Alice draws her inspiration from artists such as Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington, Ray Lamontagne & BB King.
