The Incident - Tom Davies from local band "The Incident" is an 18 year old songwriter pianist and lead vocalist with influences ranging from The Beatles Queen and Pink Floyd.
He started learning piano by ear at 14 and has been writing songs ever since.

Drystone - Drystone are a five-piece metalcore band from the rolling hills of West Yorkshire. They draw inspiration from bands like Killswitch Engage, In Flames, All That Remains, Bury Tomorrow and Novelists to name a few. Having gone through various trails and tribulations over the course of their 10 year history, the boys are finally looking forward to getting a few good shows under their belts in 2024. They recently released their debut EP, Chasm, which is available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music and most other major streaming platforms.

The Fault Lines - From the mind of Louis Sweet comes The Fault Lines, a four-piece band with a lot to say. With backing from guitarist Robbie, drummer Byron, and bassist Pete, songs that started life in Louis' bedroom are fleshed out into the band's own blistering take on alt-rock. Channelling the stylings of 90's songwriters such as Elliott Smith mixed with a distinctly modern malaise, expect incisive lyrics and earworm riffs from this Halifax band.

Doors open 2pm
