The Buildy-Uppy Snowy Show

Cambridge Leisure Park

Following their critically acclaimed 1988 Creation Records’ debut, The House Of Love signed to Fontana Recordings the following year and embarked on four years of non-stop recording and touring that would take them into the mainstream.

The House Of Love

 were first conceived in late 1976 when Nick Cash (vocals/guitar) and Guy Days (vocals/lead guitar), who were at school together, decided to form a group.  Within a couple of months they had teamed up with Jon Watson (bass) and Pablo Labritain (drums) and 999 were officially born.  Their first gig was at the Northampton Cricket Club in January 1977.  Interest in the band was immediate and constant gigging around London brought with it critical acclaim and a hard core following of supporters from Southall, calling themselves “The Crew”.  These ranks were soon swollen by the Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Munich, Vienna, Zagreb, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, New York, LA, Toronto, Philadelphia, and San Francisco “Crews” each proving as dedicated as the last.

Ozric Tentacles are regarded as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, formed during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983 going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury and other festivals. The creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne, the Ozrics’ uniquely trippy soundscapes connect fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and dance music culture.

Manchester-based Mr. Scruff is a producer, cartoonist and cross-genre selector who loves to play long DJ sets, and occasionally B2B sets with similarly wide-eared end excitable DJs. He has been DJing since 1984, and has been getting paid for it since 1994. His DJ sets can range from deep soul/funk/reggae/afro/jazz /latin/hip-hop to harder edged electro/house/new wave/techno /electronic all knitted together with supreme technical skill and a keen sense of fun.

Comedy is a serious business these days, and you absolutely won’t find that here. With a mind that ricochets more than a drunk at a wedding, this show is full of stories, and silliness, most of it planned, some of it …well, who knows? Described as “Masterful at owning a room” she skilfully weaves her naturally funny ways into a fabulous show. Her usual waffles can be heard on her podcasts “How’s Your Week Been?” and “Spit or Swallow”. She’s a regular tour support for Sarah Millican and host of BBC R4 Extra’s Comedy Club and a regular guest on Times Radio. With support from the G.C both mentally and physically this show proves certain to be a joyous (not for the faint hearted) occasion

Lou Conran: Tangent

Italian-born Ezio and Mark ‘Booga’ Fowell, hailing from Cambridge, have developed their own sensitive style, a mixture of rock and folk full of gorgeous acoustic melodies and intelligent lyrics. They have been forerunners in the acoustic music scene for nearly two decades.

Ezio

Bernard Butler has been noted as one of Britain’s most original and influential musicians. In 1989 he formed Suede releasing the Mercury winning No.1 debut “Suede” and the era-defining “Dog Man Star”, a sprawling concept of rare ambition. His collaboration with David McAlmont on the anthemic ”Yes” provided an intriguing footprint across Britpop’s otherwise jingoist landscape culminating in 2 albums and a sell out at London’s Roundhouse in 2015.

Based on the extraordinary story of Fenella, the Holmfirth Tiger, A TIGER’S TALE  is a high-spirited balancing act of circus, puppetry, live music and song.

The Herbaliser Band Way back In January 1995, Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry AKA The Herbaliser, a sample-based beatmaking duo from Twickenham, South West London, released their debut 12” single ‘The Real Killer’ on UK label Ninja Tune.

The Herbaliser Band

The exact point of any band’s inception is hard to pin down, but for Jim, the ‘wish’ crystallised into reality one night in June 1984: “I always think it was the day we played our first show, because up until then the whole idea had been kind of abstract, it didn’t feel real. When we played in London, there were only about six people watching, but I remember thinking, ‘That’s it. The band is born’.”

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Change is most commonly associated with ‘The Glow of Love’, a 1980 single featuring Luther Vandross over a wistful Chic-like production. The group released 11 other charting singles, as well as six charting albums, two of which peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard’s RnB Albums chart.

Change
