Talented trio’s eclectic mix of music


Well they didn’t throw a tan-: trum but this talented trio of that name certainly threw out qualitymusicatThe White Horse last Saturday, writes ‘Big George’Reynolds. - . On a friend’s text recom­


mendation, my wife and I glo1 rifled at Lancaster’s finest as they powered through an ec­ lectic mix of covers which en- - compassed Hendrix, Robert


Johnson, ZZ Top, Stevie Rayu- Vaughan, Talking Heads, Ste­ vie Wonder and, believe it or not, Kate Bush. Utilising a rock-steady


rhythm section of Luke Paget (drums) and bassist/vocals Steve Mildwater, they were a perfect foil for frontman Jamie Walker, the undoubted star of the show.

in typical guitar hero pose, Walker led the way through a great set. 7 Giventheirpedigreeofhav-


ing played Colne and Burnley blues festivals, surely a larger stage in Clitheroe wouldn’t be amiss, either at The Grand or perhaps theCastle bandstand. In conversation after the gig, they impressed on us just how lucky we are here in


Clitheroe and surrounds to have so many venues promot-


. ing live music in such a small populus. ■ So come on, Ribble Val­


ley folk, get away from bor­ ing TV and enjoy what’s in our


lap! Even large towns such as Blackburn, Burnley and even


. Preston haven’t got what we have in this busy little corner of the UK.

Jefferson Starship, born out of Jefferson Airplane are one of the biggest rock-bands. They now celebrate their 40th anniversary with this special tour. Paul Kantner still features in the band alongside David Freiburg and have endured


'as rock music's premier ‘political , science fiction* themed band.


Live from London is Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge, with Tom Hiddleston (TheAvengers, BBC’s- The Hollow Crown) in the title role • and Mark Gatiss (BBC’s Sherlock) as Menenius, directed by the Donmar’s Artistic Director Josie Rourke.


War Horse takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Please note,


the LIVE broadcast on Thur 27 Feb has now SOLD OUT but we are pleased to offer an ’encore’ showing on 2 March. Book your tickets now to avoid disappointment.


Johnny Bramwell is the lead singer and guitarist of Manchester’s I Am Kloot, one of the city’s best-loved current bands. This intimate ’evening with’ is a contrast to the band's ever


fmore expansive shows and provides the audience the opportunity to get up close and personal to one of modern music’s most prolific and gifted song-writers.


Please note - a booking fee of £1.50 now applies per transaction.

a special homecoming gig in Leicester’s Victoria Park on mid­ summer’s day to mark the 10th an­ niversary of their debut album by the same name and Meighan said: “I couldn’t believe it when I first saw Kazabian live - they produce a stunning act. “I’ve been keeping tabs on


them ever since because they sing our songs perfectly. I’d love to see themplaywithusorappearinone of our videos. We love their stuff- they are frighteningly good.” Kasabian penned a clutch of


ferocious rock anthems, from Club Foot, Reason is Treason and

Fire, and tribute drummer Lee • Buifield, from Kazabian, said: “It was the ultimate accolade when •; they said they liked us. There was alotoftalklastyearofithappen-, ing and if it ever did we’d love that ’ because I reckon they are the best band in the world.


• • “We were all desperate to go to


the tenth anniversary show, with them going back home, but we’ve

got a fake festival that weekend so we are committed to playing there. There’s a good vibe at the fake festivals and we love Glaston- budget. I’d definitely recommend them.” Lee, whose love affair with


Kasabian began when he saw them perform at Hull University a decade ago, said: “There’s a lot of snobbery on the tribute scene, but

I don’t see anything wrong with playing another band’s music to fans who might not be able to go and see the real thing at a bigger


• venue because the gig is sold out or they can’t get there.” White Striped will provide the


supporttoKazabianatTheGrand and Lee added: “They are brilliant and any White Stripes fans should


' come and have a look. - “This is ourfirstgigoftheyear


and we wanted to start at Clithe­ roe because it was such a good vibe when we played there last time. The crowd were really up for it and it was one of our best gigs in 2013. “Kazabian have been going


four years now, spreading the word of the band we alllove so that can’t be a bad way to earn a living.” • Kazabian play at The Grand on Saturday, with support from

Deadwood Doglaunch debut album


Deadwood Dog launch their debut album, The United Colours ofBigotry, next weekend when they provide the support for Merry Hell at The Grand, Clitheroe. The Preston folk-punksters are kicking up


a storm with their bouzouki-fuelled sound, and Deadwood Dog singer Mick Stokes said: “As young punks we were persecuted for the way we looked 30 years ago, and in England today there’s alot of people who also face the


- samepersecutionforthecolouroftheirskin, and that’s unbelievable in this day and age.


“Small-town bigotry still festers in our so­


ciety. I see it every day and I write about that in our music. It is really important to address issues like that in life because so many people have to deal with it. It is very odd. We live in this modern world of communication, but people remain very narrow minded.” You are just as likely to hear a folk rendi­


tion of Kraftwerk’s The Model or The Clash’s Armagideon Time as well as Deadwood Dog’s latest songs-and their recentsupportslotfor From the Jam won them special praise from Jam legend Bruce Foxton. “I like the diversity of our sound, and it


is nice recognition to be asked back to play the Grand becauseitisa great venue,” added Stokes.
