Tuesday 24th August Pooks Hill Welcome return of this excellent LOCAL 6 piece band with a good tight and accomplished sound playing their own style of folk and featuring their own penned songs from the recent Roots C.D. A great band to start this year's Beer Festival entertainment programme. Wednesday 25th August The Che Brewer Band (Main) Straight from supporting Tony Hadley at the Hastings Beer Festival, The Che Brewer Band bring their infectiously melodic blend of blues/rock to Peterborough for the very first time. Currently blowing a storm on the south coast, this young outfit from Brighton play an exciting set of powerful original material, infused with influences ranging from the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skkynyrd and the Black Crows to the Eagles, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton and blues legends such as Buddy Guy and B.B.King." Wednesday 25th August Siskin (Support) Beer Festival newcomers Siskin have made giant strides since forming last July, and are fast becoming one of the best live acts in Cambridgeshire. Fronted by charismatic lead singer Katie Ward (pictured), they play original songs that everyone can relate to, featuring elements of indie, pop and rock, with thoughtful lyrics wrapped around delicious melodies. They have already broken on to the university circuit, recently appearing at Leicester University's Summer Ball as one of the best up and coming bands in the UK. So catch them now while you can!
Thursday 26th August Stone Junction (Support) "The music sounds classic, catchy and grows on you with
ease... This band are serious song writers... Great" - Matchbox Recordings
2002 Friday 27th August BIF BAM POW (Main) Bif Bam Pow are: Rob Fricker (Vocals and Guitar), Gregg Brown
(Bass guitar and Vovals), Andy 'Mac' McAvoy (Hammond Organ) and
Lee Andrews (Drums). Their set is made up of classic A & B sides from England's
finest, like The Who, Small Faces, Kinks, Creation and The Jam, add American
garage anthems from The Standells and The Sonics, mix with Stax, Atlantic and
Motown cuts and a little bit of homebred RnB like Doctor Feelgood. Friday 27th August Kissmet (Support) Kissmet take the best music from the East and West and blend
them into something completely unique. So unique that they've been asked to
perform TWICE at the Glastonbury Festival this year. It isn't Bhangra, it's
not Rock, it's something so fresh that it's out there on it's own. Saturday 28th August T-Rextasy (Main) They are a real live band, and are not to be confused with any of the current cabaret style pretenders of the 'Stars In Their Eyes' brigade! This is why T.Rextasy have gained the respect from Marc Bolan's contemporaries, and have been accepted on tour with the likes of Gary Glitter, Roy Wood, The Sweet, Slade, Ian Hunter, and Status Quo. Due to the band's stage performance and attitude, and not to mention the meticulous study and choice of material, T.Rextasy are attracting a wide age group. Perhaps this is why they have not only played the Glam Rock nostalgia gigs, but also with top indie bands such as Dodgy at the Phoenix Festival, and the prestigious Midtfyns Festival in Denmark, where they appeared with Blur and Iron Maiden. In the Summer of 1997 they were also asked to appear with Status Quo at Rugen Island in Germany. Saturday 28th August Citizen Smiff (Support) A bunch of musicians who have been mates and played together for the past twenty odd years, all having individually made a name for themselves, and now gigging full time together as Peterborough's best and most diverse covers band….described by respected journo Aranda Garrard of the Evening Telegraph as "the current darlings of the live music circuit…" Please note that performance times are approximate and liable to change.
