Fire Tower 4 return to the Puzzle making more stuff up, or as us artistic types call it: improvising. Now with an expanded line up anything from dreamscapes to krautrock can be expected.
Featherteeth play a unique blend of dreamlike avant-garde psychedelic rock and soaring reggae fused anthems. With scintillating, intricate, rhythmic, verging on jazz like drums, pulse-grooving bass, angelic vocals and hook-laden guitars, violin and mandolin.
Featherteeth make the perfect live experience. They have been compared to Jane’s Addiction, Cocteau Twins, The Chameleons and The Stone Roses…
Gary returns to the Puzzle with a fabulous band for another evening of top music.
Appearing with Gary will be:
Andrzej Baranek – keyboards
Ed Harrison – double bass

I’m not Bruce will be introducing us to the road less travelled with sounds from artists such as Steve Reich.
Inspired by the New Wave British Blues of Dr Feelgood and Nine Below Zero, along with Boston bar bands like The Nighthawks and J. Geils, The 844s are a modern day beat group who aim the beat at the feet.
Brighton’s own Sairie are here to dazzle and delight you with their own brand of dark psyche-folk majesty. They will be assisted on the night in their pursuit to spellbind by Untitled Woman.
Rob Edwards (@hedgehogg_the_poet) is an innovative Welsh Poet and spoken word artist.
Rob has lived in Calderdale with his wife Cath for the last 35 years.

Phil Greenwood: Hi, I’m Phil, Frustrated pirate and wild West outlaw.
I write my own songs and poetry on these two subjects.
Michael Shaw: I love music and poetry. The songs I write are sort of indie-folk (ish). I am half of an acoustic duo – The Boothtown Rats, where I get to play some of my songs at gigs which gives me an enormous buzz. When I sing one of my own songs and don’t get bottles thrown at me I’m happy.
I also enjoy setting other peoples poetry to verse, including Robs stuff.
Ash Robinson: I was raised to love punk music, from the classics of the late 70s to the hardcore UK 82 scene. I played in some cover bands when young but I didn’t really cut my teeth until I joined a punk band, The Allergics, in my late 20s.
I left the band a couple of years ago to focus on writing my own music, drawing on the acoustic, folk and Americana influences that I’ve taken on in later years, though there’ll always be a place in my heart for the band and for punk.
Sean Byrne: Very much a product of the 1970,s early 80,s Rockabilly revival movement. Obsessed with music from the 40,s and 50,s. Country, Hillbilly, Rockabilly and good old fashioned Rock n Roll.
Founder member and lead singer with The Weedwackers band and an occasional wannabe singer songwriter.
