“Long Ryders meet Springsteen via Neil Young.You won’t want to miss this one ” – Data Thistle

“An american classic rock vibe quite similar to Tom Petty, these are well crafted songs with memorable melodies” – Louder Than War

The December Flowers blend Americana with the folk-tinged spaciousness of California psychedelia, a touch of British music hall pop, 60’s Wurlitzer organ-driven rock, and a hint of Nashville country. All seasoned musicians in their own right together they bring years of experience to their richly textured, sophisticated but playful sound.

“The December Flowers create a distinctive sound : rich, layered music that surpasses their individual talents.” – Americana UK

Outside the Box are a Calderdale based group featuring Mark Paramor on guitar, Justin Graham on accordion Daz Jones on bass and David Insua-cao on drums (and dulcimer). Coming from a background of ceilidh, strict time Scottish Competition, New Orleans Second Line Jazz, Folk and Punk bands they put their own feel to songs and tunes old and new. Add beautiful and full throated three part harmonies, Outside the Box bring foot tapping energy, glorious tunes and sing-along choruses.

Plot 32 are a high energy ska punk band from Leeds. Purveyors of their own unique brand of super-charged fun they’ll bring a smile to the face of even the most brassed off with their combination of gnarly guitar power and brass-tinged melodies.

“Fun is something Plot 32 are experts at. One of my new favourite live bands and I can’t wait to see them again.” – Colin’s Punk Rock World

“These guys are nothing but fun, carnage , high energy punk and ska , an absolute delight.” Manchester Punk Festival
