Ramblin' Preachers
Vintage-Contemporary Blues Rock Unforgettable Lyrics, Unmissable Solos, Unrivalled Rhythm. The influences are firmly set in the southern rock vibe and that’s where the band's passion clearly lies.
Trying to do something familiar but with a twist that keeps the audience engaged and interested, whilst focusing on what serves the song. Guitarist James Ives and Lead Singer / Guitarist Ross Connor are clearly tone chasers.

The Main Line
In November 2022 Jonty Watson and Howard Ranson (both ex East Coast Main Line) joined Jeff Spence (ex Midnite Blue) and Andy Lewis (various rock bands over the years) and became The Main Line.
The band plays 60s and 70s inspired upbeat Rhythm and Blues, taking their cues from Dr Feelgood, The Pirates, The Inmates and early Rolling Stones. They are currently working on original material due to be recorded early 2024.

Connor Selby
He has been voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for the last three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022) and he already has an impressive venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 and has since gone on to play Hyde Park, London, with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in the summer of 2022.
Connor has also had a productive 2023 touring the UK as the opening act for Blues and Rock Luminaries Robert Cray and Beth Hart. It’s easy to see why, with his soulful blend of blues and his emotionally introspective songwriting, which sits alongside his impressive armoury of guitar playing.
The sky is the limit for Connor, who, along with awards, has picked up numerous plays on BBC Radio 2.
Smokin' Gun
Nothing better than a great local band playing a range of rock classics you all know and love.

Aynsley Lister
An evening with Aynsley Lister consists of a solo acoustic set followed by the full band.
Aynsley Lister is one of the UK’s hottest contemporary blues guitarists – many consider him to be among the best in the world. His unique brand of blues-based rock delivers contemporary songwriting fueled with the kind of heart and soul that’s missing from so much modern music.
Whether passionately writing and recording his own material or mesmerising audiences at his live shows, one thing is abundantly clear: music is hard-wired to his DNA and flows from his fingertips like sonic bolts of lightning.
"Music is a release for me. When I play, I get lost in it. It's a very happy place to be."
