NEW MODEL ARMY with special guests Mad Dog Mcrea play MANCHESTER



New Model Army are a legendary global underground cult band.

Formed by Justin Sullivan in Bradford in 1980, their beginnings were inspired by Northern Soul, Punk Rock and the incendiary atmosphere of the times.

Since then, they have had a long, creative and eventful journey. They have been massively influential in ‘post-punk’, ‘folk-rock’, ‘politico-rock’, ‘goth’, ‘metal’ and all kinds of musical sub-cultures but they have steadfastly refused to belong to any genre.
Without a ‘genre’ audience, and never having had a Top 20 hit single in any country, New Model Army still have album sales in the millions, have attracted some of the biggest producers on the planet (Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd, Andy Wallace, Bob Clearmountain) and have built up an almost religious devotion amongst fans.

This is a remarkable band - as hungry and focused as ever, with a continually regenerating audience and insatiable creative ambition.

Now into their 37th year, New Model Army show no signs of slowing down. “Between Dog And Wolf” (released in 2013 - together with it’s sister mini-album “Between Wine And Blood” in 2014), marked a major creative resurgence in the band’s long story. It received some of New Model Army's best-ever critical reviews and was their most successful album in more than 20 years, charting top 30 in UK and Germany. Meanwhile, Matt Reid’s 2014 feature-length documentary movie on the band (“Between Dog and Wolf - The New Model Army Story”) was shown in cinemas and at film festivals across Europe and recently became available on DVD, telling the story of this most unique of bands.  "Winter" New Model Army's 14th studio album was released to rave reviews on Aug 26, needless to say they’re really looking forward to getting out and playing it live.

Special tour guests are Mad Dog Mcrea a unique mixture of folk rock, pop, gypsy jazz, bluegrass and 'shake your ass' music. From self-penned songs of adventure, drinking, love and life, to traditional songs of gypsies, fairies, legless pirates and black flies - Mad Dog never fail to capture their audience with their infectious songs.

A Visit To Urban Coffee Lounge Queensferry

Those who know me well will know my deep passion for good cake!! I call it a passion because I just love cake, but with good cake has to come amazing coffee. So when I was contacted by Richard Lavender who told me he had recently opened a coffee lounge in Queensferry. I was keen to check the place out. When I told Radio Deeside's main man Barry Dale about the visit he quickly pulled rank expressing how he had to come along and also check out the cake selection!! On arriving at Urban Coffee Lounge I quickly noticed how spotlessly clean the place was, everything neatly in its place. The smell of coffee hit me just as I reached the counter, I opted for the cappuccino, Barry, on the other hand, decided on a nice mug of tea with one eye closely on the cakes!!! There is a choice of seating area's within the coffee lounge as well as a seated area outside, The traditional table and chairs also lounge style chairs with coffee table or there is a bar style seated area with h...

Genre-mashing indie pop duo Maven Fiction will release their new single Can I Keep You on 19thFebruary. The new material marks a fresh start for the band after a period spent revitalising their sound with Ivor Novello winning writer/producer Steve Robson (whose writing/production credits include Ed Sheeran , James Bay , One Direction , Paloma Faith & Take That After forming in late 2011, Aaron Ward (Vocals/Guitar) & Joe Mitchell (Piano/Synths) quickly gained media attention after their early single ‘This Is My England’ was included in coverage of the 2012 Olympics.

However,soon after this initial breakthrough the band lost momentum and decided to re-work their materialand hone their songwriting craftin the studiobefore releasing any new...

THE SOUTH play CHESTER!!!

After a successful couple of years touring the country and playing Festivals, The South are looking forward to 2016. The combination of Beautiful South hits and album tracks as well as original songs from their debut album, ‘Sweet Refrains’ has hit a pleasure nerve around the country. Once in a while a band appears that strikes a chord with many.  Their music becomes an integral part of a nation's psyche and the soundtrack to many people's lives.  Ingrained in the hearts of many is one such band, the Beautiful South.  Over 3 decades this band became a household name, selling over 15 million albums. On disbanding in 2007, original members Dave Hemingway and Alison Wheeler went on to form The South and with mainstays Damon Butcher and Gaz Birtles (keyboards and brass since the very beginning of The Beautiful South) this talented 9 piece continue to celebrate the music of The Beautiful South and, indeed, The South Now with one highly acclaimed album 'Sweet Refrains...
