Free at Last were formed in 1982 under the name Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam featured three of the current members, Jak (guitar/vocals), Shane (guitar) and Mick (drums) until Dave joined on bass in 1994.

Uncle Sam's set contained a few original songs plus covers by such classic acts as ZZ Top, Pat Travers and of course Free. All the guys in the band have always had a great passion for the music of Free, so in 1996 when deciding to create a tribute there was only one choice who it would be.

Since then they have gone from strength to strength headlining at Bill Flynn's Free Convention and playing many of the top venues around the country, universally agreed to be the best Free and Bad Company tribute around.

With the original Bad Company reforming to promote their Anthology 2cd set, Paul Rodgers releasing solo albums and joining Queen as their singer for a world tour, it only serves to prove sustained interest in what the band are trying to recreate.

So for a show of 70's style red hot blues influenced, soul stealing ROCK the choice must be FREE AT LAST!

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?"

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

Black Magic is a three-piece band formed in Summer 2018 out of the breakup of two other bands.

The band has a typical 3 piece setup consisting of guitar, bass and drums and predominantly plays classic or ‘pub’ rock from the likes of Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top and The Eagles, but also has a wide repertoire of songs and styles to suit all tastes. As a result, the band is able to tailor the set to suit each venue varying from classic rock tunes (as mentioned above), to some laid back tunes, blues/blues rock tunes, pop tunes, sing along anthems and more depending on the requirements of the venue, making Black Magic a versatile band capable of pleasing any audience at any venue, anywhere!

The band members pride themselves on their professional approach towards gigs, from performing the music itself, to dealing with venues and audiences on and off the stage, but also conduct themselves with a little tongue in cheek humour here and there, creating an all round entertaining evening for all!

Free At Last @ The Railway, Nantwich

Free at Last were formed in 1982 under the name Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam featured three of the current members, Jak (guitar/vocals), Shane (guitar) and Mick (drums) until Dave joined on bass in 1994.

Uncle Sam's set contained a few original songs plus covers by such classic acts as ZZ Top, Pat Travers and of course Free. All the guys in the band have always had a great passion for the music of Free, so in 1996 when deciding to create a tribute there was only one choice who it would be.

Since then they have gone from strength to strength headlining at Bill Flynn's Free Convention and playing many of the top venues around the country, universally agreed to be the best Free and Bad Company tribute around.

With the original Bad Company reforming to promote their Anthology 2cd set, Paul Rodgers releasing solo albums and joining Queen as their singer for a world tour, it only serves to prove sustained interest in what the band are trying to recreate.

So for a show of 70's style red hot blues influenced, soul stealing ROCK the choice must be FREE AT LAST!
