From eccentric rock to cosmic pop to psych punk, you’ll find sonic treats in every flavour at this celebration of the local music scene!

Line up:

Madame Claude

Madame Claude deal in raucous ska based tunes, with flavour’s of disco, reggae and rocksteady. A fearsome live act with a growing catalogue of upbeat tunes, and a rapidly spreading fanbase, the 5 piece from Manchester are ones to watch. 

“I have to say they are one of the best Ska bands I have heard in a long time, and a total lesson to all those tribute bands. You can make your own music and it can mean something” (Pauline Black OBE)

The Dirt

A Mossley based marital psych punk duo bringing big bags of heavy guitar “loops” – fuzz and punchy percussion with a splattering of fast firing Lyrics… and energy!!  The two piece recently recorded their second studio album due for release second half of this year.

Sugar Crease

Sugar Crease are a selection box of musical bangers and have been compared to bands such as Talking Heads and Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. For folks of rum nature. Originally solely intended as a shed-based experimental 3 piece, 2023 saw the lineup expanded to 6 members to prepare for live performances, culminating in sold out shows around their local Oldham and Tameside area.

The Dirty Looks

Formed in the summer of 2023, The Dirty Looks are an unsigned, DIY femme-led band creating music that defies genre boundaries. Hailing from Manchester, this quirky group blends elements of classic punk, psychedelic rock, goth, and pop into a tight and unique sound that’s distinctly their own.

The Sly

A musicians set of musicians.

Madoc and The Blacklungs

Local indie/folk band from Mossley.

PLUS: DJ sets from Jason Rushton to keep the party banging until midnight.
