Photo of kev jameson kev jameson "Great guitar harmonica vocals and all round good guy. Have seen him play on numerous occasions and always sounds fresh and great on stage" Based in Leyland, England (17 miles from Blackpool) Chris Davey Photo of Andrew Goddard Andrew Goddard "Andrew is a great entertainer! A singer not to be missed!!" Based in Ormskirk, England (19 miles from Blackpool) Lee Reade - Private Event Photo of Stevie M Stevie M "Steve is an excellent vocalist and all round fantastic entertainer. The crowd absolutely love him. He reads an audience well and adapts songs to suit and everyone has a fantastic night. His voice is superb and everyone is up dancing! I am lucky enough to see Steve perform often, and I would highly recommend him for any booking. You will not be disappointed! See you soon Steve!" Based in Rainford, England (24 miles from Blackpool) Mrs Foster - Private function Photo of Robert George Fox Robert George Fox "I have booked Robert George (Bob) Fox for our festival for the last 9 years. During that time he has entertained our audience with his wonderful songwriting, musicianship and engaging personality. Bob’s songs are evocative of his life, travels and the landscape he grew up in. They draw you in and have you singing along, even if you have not heard them before. Songs like “Whisky Barrel Street” are genuine modern classic folk songs, whilst “Rock Chicks” and “Cocaine” ensnare you with their funky beats and soulful grooves. Bob has great stage presence, audiences respond to his personality and warmth, appreciating his dexterity, whether he is playing from his large repertoire of original songs or playing great covers in his own inimitable style. I highly recommend Bob for your venue, he is a local talent to be treasured." Based in Darwen, England (25 miles from Blackpool) Mark Summerfield - Luddstock Festival Photo of Off The Rails Off The Rails "Off The Rails are a vibrant Rock n Roll band from Liverpool, known for their energetic performances and authentic tribute to the 60's music scene. They have captured the hearts of fans with their dedication to recreating the Merseybeat sound, reminiscent of the Beatles, the Swinging Blue Jeans, Gerry and The Pacemakers and other iconic groups of the era. Their repertoire includes a mix of classic hits and lesser-known gems, delivering a nostalgic experience that transports audiences back to the days of the Cavern, flower power and the summer of love. Whether performing at your local venue or for private events, Off The Rails brings a piece of music history to life with every show. For those looking to relive the swinging sixties or experience it for the first time, Off The Rails offers a first-class ticket to the past." Based in Liverpool, England (28 miles from Blackpool) Delbert - Birthday Party Photo of Katana Blonde Katana Blonde "Absolutely LOVE this band, Fantastic musicians, power vocals and a set that spans all decades. I particularly love that they will play whatever you require. If you want to theme a night to a particular decade 70's, 80's, 90's 00's they can do it, but if you really want to see a showcase of talent just get them to do them all. They engage with the audience to provide an all round fabulous night. I have them booked throughout the year and so will you once they have played." Based in Liverpool, England (28 miles from Blackpool) Jackie Fadden
