Reel Big Fish was one of the legions of SoCal ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-’90s success of No Doubt and Sublime. Distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humour, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska, the group cultivated an underground following that broke into the mainstream when their single “Sell Out” became a modern rock radio and MTV favourite. Reel Big Fish are supported by Lightyear and {Spunge}

I think you might have just killed the pretty cowgirl’ – Rudie Hayes (Creative Director at Jorvic Radio, Presenter at Horseshoe Lounge Radio Show, Staff Writer for FATEA, Former Interviews Editor for Americana UK) — Redefining British Country Music, Sam Coe sheds a new light on the musty, tinged world of traditional country. Raw, gritty and honest. No pretence, just her gutsy truth colliding with the music. Following previous critical acclamation and success as both a solo artist and with her band, The Long Shadows, 2019 sees Sam Coe heading in a fresh musical direction. Ready to start a new UK Country scene that draws upon, rather than tries to replicate, the American scene we know and love, Sam wanted to embrace being an unashamed British artist, and bring some sincerity and soul to the UK industry. Heading back into the studio, she began recording her debut solo album under label GingerDog Records. Influenced by the sound of throwback instrumentation like the Fender Rhodes, the new record is heavily piano driven, while combining tremolo guitars, hammond organ and her beloved Gibson with an emotional and raw vocal. Influenced by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Margo Price, Larkin Poe, First Aid Kit, Bonnie Raitt, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris, Sam’s songwriting reflects 33 years of her self-confessed ‘shit storm’ of a life. Struggling to achieve the next step both personally and musically and striving to leave her mark on the world. ‘If you get to the end of the line and look back, I would hate to feel like I had any regrets – have fun, chase every adventure, leave your legacy.’

Gary Davies is still pinching himself. His childhood dream to work for BBC Radio not only came true, but it teed up a 40 year career in music. Beginning his career at Piccadilly Radio in Manchester, Davies’ reputation bloomed and he got his big break at Radio 1 in 1982. He started on a late-night weekend show but before long had taken over the lunchtime show, which he called The Bit In The Middle. There was plenty of freedom around the playlist and he was in his element in those high octane, innovative years seeking out the brightest and best music for his audience. His popularity surged and he was soon gigging most nights of the week across the country on top of his presenting duties. As well as being heard daily on the nation’s radios, he was a regular presenter on the iconic Top of the Pops, hosting the TV show more often than any other DJ in the 80s. A true household name, his ‘Woo Gary Davies’ jingle was known universally and his self-coined catchphrase, “Young, Free and Single”, captured his carefree and easy rapport with the audience, the stars and the music. By 1992, Davies had moved to weekend breakfast, but changes were afoot and the following year his time at Radio 1 was over. He moved to Virgin Radio for six successful years whilst starting his own firm Good Groove which specialised in what he always did best: finding great undiscovered new music and connecting the public with it. He discovered Corinne Bailey Rae and many more successful songwriters. Good Groove continues to be a success, but in 2017 everything changed. A guest appearance on Simon Mayo’s show, led to slots depping for Sarah Cox on Sounds of the 80s and then for Steve Wright it showed that whatever Davies might have thought, the public had not forgotten him. Not only that but Davies’ own love of radio had been reignited, he had the radio bug again. In February 2018, when Radio 2’s schedule reshuffle was announced, he was delighted to come back home to the BBC and take charge of Sounds of the 80s! The dream continues.
‘The Korgis are a British pop band known for the hit singles ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’, ‘If I Had You’, ‘Dumb Waiters’, ‘If It’s alright With You Baby’ and many more.
Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ was a massive worldwide hit and ‘If I Had You’ is often cited as a favorite love song of all time. Add to that the George Martin produced album ‘The Man With the Bowler Hat’ by Stackridge, of which James was a founder member, and it becomes clear that the fanbase for The Korgis is huge
The band, now led by original singer/bassist James Warren (also a founding member of the 1970s band Stackridge), includes vocalist John Baker and guitarist Al Steele from the 90s Korgis. Glenn Tommey – session player with Stackridge/The Korgis – and powerhouse drummer Paul Smith make up the rhythm section and ‘Born To Win’ provide brilliant backing vocals and bring a vibrant energy to the show.
James and the band have worked hard at creating a show that is musically superb and visually exciting. The set has been designed to bring in fans from all of the eras, going back to the very first Stackridge song ever released, through all the Korgis hits and favourites, the reformed Stackridge of the 2000s as well as new material that is being compared to ‘Lennon at his finest’.
James’ meticulous attention to musical detail has elicited comments such as ‘flawless musicianship’, and ‘breathtaking musicality’.
The shows to date have drawn standing ovations at every performance.’

The Rezillos formed in 1976 through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las. Their debut single, “I Can’t Stand My Baby”, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on BBC Radio 1 John Peel’s radio show. Their classic singles “My Baby Does Good Sculptures”, “Top of the Pops” and “Destination Venus” followed shortly afterwards.
Their landmark album of 1978 “Can’t Stand the Rezillos” reached the top 10 in the UK album chart. They appeared twice on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test and hit the Top Twenty with their hit single ‘Top of the Pops’. The live recording, “Mission Accomplished… But the Beat Goes On”, LP swiftly followed before the band promptly broke up to the anguish of fans and music critics alike.
The Rezillos reformed recently and toured the UK as special guests of The Stranglers promoting their first album in 36 years, the critically acclaimed “Zero”.
