An outlandish drummer with a father who worked for the American government as a CIA agent Copeland has lived a very didactic life. His father and family knew Kim Philly when they were based in the Middle East. Later his career blossomed when he teamed up with the “ the magnificently high browed poet King […]
The Pretenders Chrissie Hynde, a living legend, now 73 swept onto the stage in blue jeans, black above the knee boots with a black skull t-shirt combined with a pink jacket – the later soon departed as she hit the ground running with her 4 piece band – no keyboards, three guitars and drums so […]
Not often do you get to enjoy a 6 piece all female band dressed in a electic mix of romantic, gothic and baroque outfits with accessorised Doc Marten boots. The Party is led by a charismatic lead singer Abigail Morris in stark contrast to her bandmates, she shone in a a 2 piece black suit […]
Sadly we never received this fabulous salvo on the night but we were on the receiving end of Evil Twin Brother which is an all-time favourite.

He look very eponymous on stage almost a lookalike ringer for Bill Gates with blue shirt smothered with a dangling cross, red glasses, and bushy white hair. That would all be ok, but there was was no […]
Promotion Day We just needed to win at home to be sure… Nothing was certain but after battling the odds all season as underdogs we were now in charge of our own destiny: surely we could not fail now ? We duly knocked down Huddersfield 2-0. Then the party began -a 22 year wait and […]
Olly Murs was the warm up act. He entered full of bristling energy and buzz in black leather trousers and matching sleeveless T-shirt. He knocked out some standards including Twist Again and rendition of Shout -made famous by Lulu and wrapped up with a visual nod to his new baby, Madison and the repetitive but […]
