SUMMARY:Dead Belgian - Age of the Idiot Tour 2025
DESCRIPTION:Dead Belgian are a Liverpool-based band playing the music of Jacques Brel. They began life in 2007\, inspired to share Brel’s music with all who would listen. Each member brought their own influences to the band\, from European folk to progressive rock\, stripping the songs to their bare bones and fattening them up again using a ramshackle drum kit\, ukulele\, guitar\, accordion\, saxophone\, mandolin\, clarinet and flute. Dead Belgian have developed a playful and inventive sound that meshes dense melodic patterns\, demonic waves of intensity and passages of sparse frailty with vocals that have drawn comparison to Edith Piaf\, Anthony Hegarty and Nico.\nIt is a sound unique to themselves while still capturing the beauty\, passion and humour of the original work\, a rousing and rowdy back-porch reinvention of Jacques Brel’s honest and poetic stories\n“’Bringing the songs of Jacques Brel to an English speaking audience with near missionary zeal’ ”— Liverpool Daily Post April 2010\n“If you like the idea of Nico/Edith Piaf singing Jacques Brel backed by the Arcade Fire\, get to the next Dead Belgian gig.”— Stuart Wilks-Heeg \, twitter March 2012

SUMMARY:Madame Claude + Wino
DESCRIPTION:Madame Claude are a 5 piece band from Saddleworth who mix ska\, rocksteady\, reggae and even disco to form their own inimitable style. With support slots for The Beat\, Selecter\, Cast and Bad Manners under their belt don’t miss this opportunity to catch the band Pauline Black calls ‘the most exciting and original ska band in years’\n“A band of vibrant musical tastes both fierce and smooth in voice and ska-jumping rhythm” – Saddleworth Independent\nhttps://www.instagram.com/madameclaude.official/\n\nBradford’s Wino is the brainchild of former Fling guitarist/songwriter and resident dreamer Jack Winn. With his band in tow they create psychedelic indie rock with visceral punk energy and a nod to the sound of 90’s nostalgia. Think Beck if he’d been brought up in a a back to back in Bradford rather than the urban sprawl of LA.https://www.facebook.com/j.wino21/https://www.instagram.com/winobfd/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572297756977#

SUMMARY:Floating World Pictures + Helicopter Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Floating World Pictures‘Loud Ambient’/Improv trio from London feat. members of Snapped Ankles https://floatingworldpictures.bandcamp.com/\nHelicopter QuartetMelancholic soundscapes from Leeds violin\, guitar and synth duo https://helicopterquartet.bandcamp.com/music\nFREE ENTRY with donations for bands gratefully accepted.\n\n— Further Info —\nFloating World Pictures is led by Chestnutt\, producer & member of Snapped Ankles (The Leaf Label) and graphic/sound artist & instrument builder Raimund Wong. It has an ever-changing flexible lineup for adapting to different contexts & acoustic environments\, but its current optimal trio includes:\nSophie Lowe – drums\, percussion\, clarinetChestnutt – analogue synthsRai Wong – cassette 4-track\, live instruments treatment\nWhile the recorded output has detailed non-quantized production at its heart\, the live setup\, punctured by a heavy rhythm section\, is driven by improvisation and collective gestures within the framework of cassette tape-loops manipulations\, live signal processing and analogue synthesis provided by the duo. Alongside a shifting cast they spin a sensuous\, densely populated soundscape: grounding drones and flowing waterfall synths\, a rainforest of hisses and a thrumming hive of life while in the distance the metallic snaps of drums conjure people working. Fragments of found dialogue\, melodies and environmental sounds navigate impressionistic passages\, focussing the performance as a way of searching and recontextualising.\nPrevious and ongoing collaborators / guests:\nAlabaster DeplumeCharles Hayward (This Heat)Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming)Clementine MarchAkihide Monna (Bo Ningen)EmanativeCathy Eastburn (Southbank Gamelan Players)Charles Prest (Noon Garden/Flamingods)Francesca Ter-Berg (Fran&Flora)Kamal Rasool (Flamingods)Phil MFUAndy Channing (Lila Cita/Unrest Work & Play)tyroneisaacstuartJon Tye (Lo Recordings/Ocean Moon)\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUPNYwF2PSIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjpyUh00ENE\n——\n“It’s a small world we live in. I was delighted to find when reading about Helicopter Quartet that they are two musicians I am quite familiar with from another time in my life. Over the years I have shared a bill with both Catscans and We Sell Seashells (Helicopter Quartet‘s predecessors)\, both of which were incredible acts: huge-sounding\, complex and ultimately entertaining. One thing I noticed when Catscans began performing was that they appeared to have less members than before. It seems that the group has since dissolved even further into what we have before us today: Chrissie Caulfield on violin & synth duties and Michael Capstick on guitar and bass.\n‘Helicopter Quartet’ is the product of two dedicated musicians\, full of ideas and inspirations. The pair have been writing together for an incredibly long time so there is no doubt in their musical ability. I have witnessed firsthand the immense force to come from Caulfield’s violin when screaming through a wall of sound and I have seen Capstick’s guitar create and enforce this wall in top form. “\nJake Murray for Echoes and Dust\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-SLOdehhBg\n

SUMMARY:Mora & The Fabulous Wonderfuls + Vincent Whyte
DESCRIPTION:Born backstage\, and raised by a VOX AC30\, MORA was always destined to be a performer who makes the ground shake. With her band The Fabulous Wonderfuls she brings a unique blend of righteous anger and soul-lifting songs to channel the pain and rage of this crushing existence into a communal connection. Together they send audience spirits soaring\, ready to face the next sunrise reborn with dazzling sparks of defiance and empathy.\n“This is protest music which tugs at the heartstrings rather than calling to arms\, and it would take a hard soul indeed not to be moved by Mora’s plaintive voice” – Louder than war\n“A bewitching blend of soulful vocals and lively stage presence that would ignite any room from the first note to the curtain call.” -Arenaline\nhttps://www.instagram.com/morasnaps/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6qpbN7YH_3tqIMxaAIYTUQ https://\nwww.tiktok.com/@mora.fabulouswonderfuls https://www.x.com/MoraMusic1\nA self-styled ‘Anglo-Chanteur’ at his core\, Vincent Whyte’s prevailing ambition is a simple one – to sing songs worth remembering in an increasingly forgetful world. Taking inspiration from a continent spanning gaggle of bards and storytellers\, Vincent’s tragicomic songwriting and idiosyncratic Spanish guitar chops may well do just that. Having previously opened for Half Man Half Biscuit\, The Wave Pictures and The Fugitives he now brings his talents to The Puzzle Hall Inn.\n“Vincent’s songs combines drollness\, sincerity\, tragedy\, comedy and musical prowess.” The best of Shrewsbury\nhttps://www.vincentwhyte.com/about\nhttps://www.facebook.com/vincentwhytemusic/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnFhC9g77m8

SUMMARY:Andrew Turner & Lucy Speller
DESCRIPTION:When Andrew Turner met Lucy Speller they bonded over a shared love of folk music and classic prog rock. They became fast friends and collaborators and played in folk band Spinning Jenny and Flag Crackers Border Morris together and now work together as a duo. In their latest work this collaboration between generations draws on their rich and eclectic range of influences\, spanning their time together in ceilidh\, Morris and traditional folk bands as well as being grounded in a shared love of prog\, experimental and new wave music. Proudly out of step with current trends and following their own wayward path Andrew and Lucy make magical music that is strange\, wistful and at times a little bit sinister.\nwww.goathouse-music.uk

SUMMARY:Poetry & Spoken Word Evening
DESCRIPTION:On the fourth Tuesday of the month the music stops and we pay attention to the spoken word. There has been poetry at the Puzzle Hall since the Nineties\, with breaks when the pub was closed.\n\nSometimes we are a small seminar group bringing work we love\, and want to discuss\, including our own writings. If we get bigger numbers we can get out the microphone and make it an open mic. Everyone is welcome.\n\nThere are many kinds of poetry nights: poetry slams\, formal invited poets with an audience\, open mics\, spoken word events. We are often another kind of gathering: talking about poetry\, why we write\, what we read\, themes and differences.

SUMMARY:Sweet Williams + The Bricks
DESCRIPTION:Sweet Williams (Spain/UK – Wrong Speed Records)Slowcore Postrock Light Industrial feat members of Charlottefield / I’m Being Good / Hey Colossus https://sweetwilliams.bandcamp.com/album/four-five\nThe BricksYork-based postpunk garage rock feat members of Static Waves / Broken Arm / Red Monkeyhttps://thebricksband.bandcamp.com/album/modern-mirror\nat Puzzle Hall Inn\, 21 Hollins Mill Lane\, Sowerby Bridge\, HX6 2RF\n8pm – 10pm (live music)\nFREE ENTRY with donations for bands gratefully accepted. Live music done in time for trains back to Leeds / Manc.\n—-\nSweet Williams\nThomas House has been busy in the two years since Sweet Williams’ last LP.\n“I got very nervous about playing live\, so I stopped. Quit all the bands I was playing in\, stayed at home in Zaragoza with the cat and made tunes between classes.”\nTunes that grew from fragments on old tapes or came fully formed in dreams in the small hours. He was sending us (Wrong Speed Records) a fistful of new songs every couple of weeks. Nobody knew where this was leading. There was a half-joke about House releasing his own version of The White Album\, until another artist close to our hearts beat him to it.\nThen we realised: House turns forty-five in 2025. How about forty-five songs to celebrate?\nBringing in neighbour Carl Jehle to co-produce\, the pair spent last summer putting Four Five together in long\, delirious sessions\, stretching through the forty-plus mid-afternoon heat into the balmy small hours. More than a hundred songs were on the table. A significant chunk of the work was completed while House recovered from emergency dental surgery – “the worst pain I have ever experienced”.\nThe results\, House says\, can be taken as a whole “if you’re mad enough\,” or as three separate LPs. “The first one’s dark and dreamy\, the second one’s got all the short and funny songs\, and the third one wraps it up. I don’t wanna spoil the ending.”\nWhat’s clear is that a triple LP has afforded the possibility to stretch out in directions Sweet Williams have not previously explored. Tape loops and warped\, sampled voices butt up against brief\, punky earworms. Influences are either worn on sleeves – PIL\, The Amps\, Beefheart – or nigh impossible to discern. Ever present\, as ever\, are repetition\, space\, and the sputtering growl of petrol guitars.\nFour Five is a masterpiece. The perfect mix of spontaneity and obsession; of serendipity and sheer force of will. Not to mention maybe the only justifiable triple album ever made.\n“I thought this might be the last one\, obviously\, but then again obviously not. I’m just getting started.”\n—-\nThe Bricks\nIt’s clear from their live shows that there’s a musical chemistry between the four of them\, but equally\, the tightness they demonstrate is the kind that comes from disciplined rehearsal.\nHere\, the production is just right for the band: with a sound that’s from the heart of the gothier end of late punk – think early Siouxie\, Skeletal Family\, but also with more overtly punk leanings at times – theirs is the sound of 1979-81\, and where so many contemporary exponents go wrong is applying 21st century production values in the studio. So here\, we have songs which are fiery\, choppy\, edgy\, and the recordings convey the energy and the raw dynamism\, but without sounding rough.\nLyrically\, The Bricks always achieve more with less\, with snappy\, declarative couplets consisting of the fewest words possible and uncomplicated but effective rhymes. And so it is that the EP closes with ‘Meantime’\, another songs that’s well-established and road-tested. ‘Trickle trickle… you’re so fickle’ may well not be TS Elliot or Milton\, but it’s all in the delivery\, and to hear Gemma belting out the dismissive flick of ‘fickle! FOOL!’ with her immensely commanding voice is enough to wither even the most cocksure and arrogant of bastards. With Guy’s magnificent weaving guitar-line and rock-solid rhythm section\, it’s a powerful finale.\nThe Bricks have always been great\, but they’ve never sounded more solid\, or more confident than here.\n– Christopher Nosnibor

SUMMARY:Dr Butler's Hatstand Medicine Band + The Tragics
DESCRIPTION:The Hatstand Medicine Band are a travelling troupe of musicological minstrels\, peddling the good Doctors homemade tonic to all four corners of the land. Formed from a secret combination of early blues and jazz forms\, a sprinkle of ragtime\, a dash of folk tradition\, the essence of old-time religion\, a pinch of music hall wit and a teaspoon of vaudevillian showoffery.The result is a morally good music which is replete with harmonic tones of joy and fulfilment; a natural aid to titillation and a guaranteed restorer of vitality\, vim and vigour.​This is music for foot stomping and toe tickling that joins hearts with flesh and invigorates the thinking mind. ​​\n“​Dr Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band continue to delight audiences across the country with their unique brand of good-time music. Every performance delivers an exciting range of audial treats.” – The Bridgewater Hall\nhttps://www.hatstandmedicineband.com/\nhttps://drbutlershatstandmedicineband.bandcamp.com/\n\n\nThe Tragics : Americarnage Pie with a deep rock filling.\nThe Tragics were born on a Friday afternoon in the Sowerby Bridge of long ago when\, fuelled by a crippling overdose of tea and cheap tobacco Jim Tragic (Guitar\, Vocals) and Andy Greaves (Guitar\, Vocals) all of a sudden started to play ‘country music’ by mistake. Shortly afterwards Andy learned to play the mandolin\, this time on purpose.\nThe Tragics have long since swollen to a five-piece band – Expect songs in a wide variety of styles\, delivered with cheerful savagery\, memorable melodies and most importantly\, not too many chords.

SUMMARY:West Echo Three + We Have Ghosts + Rock Paper Sister
DESCRIPTION:In honour of Sowerby Bridge festival we’ve got three very different rock bands :\nFirst up is Huddersfield’s Rock Paper Sister. Influenced by Guano Apes\, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Skunk Anansie they combine a classic rock sheen with a side order of funkiness and dramatic vocals. Expect huge riffs\, creative bass lines\, flamboyant drums and melodic vocals. With their energetic live performances and strong songwriting\, Rock Paper Sister are quickly making a name for themselves in the local music scene and their recent appearances at Bands on the Square and the Longest Day Festival have garnered strong feedback.\n“A dynamic female-fronted 4 piece delivering high-voltage rock.” – Kirklees Most Wanted\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Rrock.Paper.Sister/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx4VUu8gW44\nNext up we have Chester’s We Have Ghosts\, a visceral punk rock trio known for delivering raw\, riff-heavy anthems laced with lyrical intensity. Conjuring a storm of alt-rock\, grunge\, punk\, and post-whatever chaos. With lyrics that cut deep and a sound that swings between hypnotic tension and raw catharsis\, they blur the lines between vulnerability and venom. Think serrated riffs\, explosive shifts\, and raw emotion soaked in distortion.\n“This is raw and visceral rock. A refreshing reminder of what guitar-driven music can still do” – Havoc Underground\nhttps://wehaveghosts.bandcamp.com/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/wehaveghostsband/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@wehaveghosts/videos\n\nAnd finally hailing from Oldham metallic digital rock duo\, West Echo Three deliver some balls to the wall rock excitement for the modern age. With their winning mix of lo-fi beats\, top drawer guitar shredding and snarled vocals have gained a reputation as a formidable live act\, comfortable on any stage.\nThe band’s passion for live excellence translates to their studio output\, too\, with their one EP and three singles (so far) receiving praise for their signature approach to songcraft .If you like your rock bang up to date with the kind of innovative mix of punk\, metal and electronica that make NIN seem like sedate old Grandpas ready for the retirement home then you’re in for a treat.\n“West Echo Three are cut from a different cloth when compared to most indie-rock music.” – Analogue Trash\nhttps://westechothree.bandcamp.com/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@westechothree\nhttps://www.facebook.com/WestEchoThree/mentions/
