Artizan @ The Linley Tavern, Alsager

Artizan was formed in October 2012.

The band was formed to bring a high-octane rock show to the local scene, playing popular anthems spanning from 70’s to modern hard anthems.

Expect tracks from the likes of Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Stereophonics, Tears For Fears, Kings Of Leon, Journey, Van Halen... The list goes on!!

The bands question wass simple - with the rawest organic ingredients (drums, bass, two guitars and a voice) can they play a set that others dare not spoil (with respect of course!)? Their positive answer was down to the ethos 'playing the easy tracks is simply not good enough anymore'. Naturally the odd track here and there needs to be a dance floor filler - The band understands, this is a must - but the band needed to stand out and the tracks they choose have been carefully selected to leave you remembering that hit of the 80’s that takes you back to your school days or a mad night out!!!

The show includes a big sound and lights with exceptional musicianship with a goal to capture your attention with nothing but live instruments.
Each member of the band have been involved in past live music projects from AB/CD (probably the best AC/DC tribute there ever was), Muthahumbucker (a remarkable rock covers band), Urban Gorilla (classic rock and blues at its best) to Stereotonics and The Dick & Dom Show (for real!)

Open Mic Night @ The Red Lion, Winsford

Open Mic Night @ The Raven, Crewe

Rivers, Kidd and The Crow @ Tom's Tap and Brewhouse, Crewe

Tom's Halloween Party with Rivers and Kidd.

Rivers and Kidd have developed their own unique style, with original material and new interpretations of well known songs.

It was during the recording of the CD Different Skies that Martin Rivers met Jaqi Kidd, rekindling a friendship that began many years ago. There was an immediate creative spark that came from a common interest in mind body and spirit. Out of this meeting came synergy, where the whole became greater the the sum of the parts; and a new musical partnership was born.
Martin Rivers was an actual punk back in the late 1970's playing guitar with The Uninvited. They were best known for the track “Doing the East Berlin”, which can be found on the compilation LP “Cry Havoc”, which was released on Slip Records. It is now a sought after collectors item. He then went on to become a founding member of Tower Struck Down before departing to pursue different musical interests.

Jaqi Kidd was lead singer in the band Lynx. She has recently returned to the music scene after taking time out and is currently writing new material. She is a holistic therapist and a practitioner of Reiki and Qigong. Jaqi is keen to take Rivers and Kidd to the next level and her voice brings soul and depth to their music.

It was at the first Crewe Steampunk Convivial in 2016 that Rivers & Kidd were introduced to the world of Steampunk. This opened a whole new world of exciting possibilities that they wholeheartedly embraced; and this is adding a new visual dynamic to their stage show. They played The 2017 Crewe Steampunk Convivial with Jasper the Steampug who unashamedly stole the show!

Rivers and Kidd have recently joined forces with ace drummer The Crow to become a Steampunk acoustic power trio.

£10.00 (includes pizza from Jordy's and first drink.
Fancy dress optional (there will be prizes!).

The South @ The Lyceum Theatre, Crewe

When great British pop institution, The Beautiful South split in 2007, some members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet…
The South feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles. Since original singer, Dave Hemingway, left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has moved across to vocal duties. They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine piece live band.

With the new reshuffle complete, The South are a full team again and raring to go! Their live show promises to continue to celebrate and perform the classic Beautiful South songs - A Little Time (the number one single), Perfect 10, Rotterdam, Old Red Eyes Is Back, Good as Gold, Don’t Marry Her. All performed again live, these songs, and many more, span an impressive 20 year career starting way back in 1989!

Come on! Let’s Carry On… Regardless!

Jam Night @ The White Horse, Nantwich

Hayley Strangelove @ Tom's Tap and Brewhouse, Crewe

Hayley Strangelove is an acoustic singer/songwriter, hailing from Merseyside and currently residing in Crewe, Cheshire...

30-something years old with blue hair (for now), a beat up guitar and a unique outlook on life, Hayley wrote her first song at the tender age of 19 after banging out some chords and being pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

After singing in many cover bands, ranging from jazz and blues through to heavy rock, Hayley formed her own band in 2001 to write original material and put her own style of music on the map. She is one half of local legends Baxter.

After experimenting with different sounds, different people, different versions of songs and finally learning to play some instruments herself, Hayley decided that solo was good too (sometimes!!).

And so here we have a gal with a guitar, an eclectic array of unusual self penned gems, often written with tongue planted firmly in her cheek, but all originating and delivered straight from the heart.

Notable line up changes over the years included vocalist/guitarist Deano who joined in 2009 followed by vocalist/bass player Pete in 2012.

The Penguin Incident @ The Imperial, Crewe

The Penguin Incident are a rag tag bunch of musicians from the Northwich area and who were once described by Oliver Reed as the musical equivalent of the A-Team. Still on the run from the CIA for crimes they did not commit (it wasn’t them, honest!), The Penguin Incident have become Rock Soldiers of Fortune, playing gigs in pubs and clubs to fund the cause and to pay for their ever expanding bar tab...

The Penguins play a blend of both modern and classic rock covers, with the emphasis on having a good time.

Please don’t be put off by all the hype around the legendary party antics of this five piece band, who make Motley Crue, look like the New Seekers. Although they like to party, most of the recent reports about wild drunken debauchery have been slightly wide of the mark! Robert Plant when asked to comment on the band famously said “who?"



What they are saying about the Penguins:

Why hasn’t Mr Beckett the guitarist from the mighty Penguin Incident featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine yet? It’s a disgrace; it’s what the people want! - F Rossi, Margarita Nursing Home, Surrey

My Mum booked a band called the Penguin Incident for my 100th birthday party, I can’t recommend
them highly enough, Great vocalist, loads better that the guy who used to be in my band back in
the early 70s! Rock n Roll! - Sir Jimmy Page, Rocksville

A band called the Penguin Incident played my local pub last night, these guys can really rock, their version of “Whole Lotta Rosie” was epic, I really impressed with Paul`s solo, don’t miss them when they visit your town - Richie Blackmore, Toadstool Hollow, Elf-land

I finally got to see the Penguin Incident down at the Bowling Green last weekend, what a crackin night, me and my mate Dean (Martin), pulled a couple of local gals, got hammered and listened to some great music. I got to meet Mark, the bass guitarist, after the show, What a top bloke, and a what a great bass player! Great pint of mild in the Green too, cheers Tim, - Mr Frank Sinatra, Los Angeles, CA

I asked myself the other day, what’s happened to all the great rock drummers in the world? Then I saw Kerrie from the impressive Penguin Incident, the future is in good hands. I will sleep well tonight - N Peart, A Mountain, Canada

These boys really know how to party; I think I had a great night - O Osborne, Birmingham, England

The bass player is hot, anyone know his number? - Miss K Minogue, Ramsey St, Australia

Vavoom! @ The Railway, Nantwich

Vavoom! is a three piece Rockabilly / Rock 'n' Roll band fronted by Andy Boote on guitar and vocals, with Stephen Wallace on drums and Chris Large on double bass.

Andy Otley @ Wilbraham Arms, Nantwich

Fresh on the scene and making a huge impact, Andy Otley is a premium quality male vocalist with an extensive collection of songs.

He has been working as a professional singer for the past six years, regularly entertaining audiences at weddings, corporate events, and private parties across the UK.

Some of Andy’s career highlights include performing at the London Palladium, appearing on The Voice UK and singing at top corporate events all over the UK & Europe, not to mention having the honour of being requested to perform at so many beautiful weddings.

Andy Otley has worked closely with legendary comedian, his Uncle, the late Sir Ken Dodd, who’s energy, experience, talent and unparalleled work rate has clearly been of great influence to Andy’s performance and professionalism.

Electro 80's @ Shavington Club, Shavington

The Eighties were a time of radical changes in both music and fashion.

In the aftermath of the punk revolution, daring New Romantics embraced developing sounds and technologies to transform the music industry forever.

Gary Numan, The Human League, Kraftwerk & Depeche Mode all helped to create a totally new genre of music; Electronica or Synth-pop, a futuristic new sound that almost seemed like science fiction at the time.

Electro 80's pay tribute to this era, and have lovingly recreated songs by the afore mentioned pioneers (and many more), to create a live entertainment show that is sure to transport everyone from this generation, back to the days of underground club scenes and even school discos.

Unforgettable classics like Fade to Grey and Just Can't Get Enough are performed alongside lesser-known tracks, which will jog your memory in a nostalgic show that is both visually and acoustically stunning.

Artizan @ The Imperial, Crewe

Artizan was formed in October 2012.

The band was formed to bring a high-octane rock show to the local scene, playing popular anthems spanning from 70’s to modern hard anthems.

Expect tracks from the likes of Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Stereophonics, Tears For Fears, Kings Of Leon, Journey, Van Halen... The list goes on!!

The bands question wass simple - with the rawest organic ingredients (drums, bass, two guitars and a voice) can they play a set that others dare not spoil (with respect of course!)? Their positive answer was down to the ethos 'playing the easy tracks is simply not good enough anymore'. Naturally the odd track here and there needs to be a dance floor filler - The band understands, this is a must - but the band needed to stand out and the tracks they choose have been carefully selected to leave you remembering that hit of the 80’s that takes you back to your school days or a mad night out!!!

The show includes a big sound and lights with exceptional musicianship with a goal to capture your attention with nothing but live instruments.
Each member of the band have been involved in past live music projects from AB/CD (probably the best AC/DC tribute there ever was), Muthahumbucker (a remarkable rock covers band), Urban Gorilla (classic rock and blues at its best) to Stereotonics and The Dick & Dom Show (for real!)
