About the bands:
Bear Cat Crawlers traditional New Orleans Jazz band were formed by local club member, musician and music teacher Robbie Martin. His group of fellow musicians work as a collective with various members coming together to perform when required. Their professionalism and years of experience enable them to pick up and play with practically anyone, anywhere, anytime.
In Stone Pony (North London's hardest working covers band), every member sings so expect a variety of voices and sizes!! They will be supported by Slashed Seat Affair an exciting new local pop band who have received national radio airplay, featured on MTV unsigned video in Japan, Canada, US & Europe.
Also playing on the day will be Brian Nash (ex Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Nasher) who creates a unique style of rugged pop. his songs are instantly likeable and catchy, with an inspirational lyrical content. View a clip at YouTube from 2007! http://www.youtube.com/
The Roosters have started to build up a good reputation for great party music performing a range of 50's and 60's covers from artists like Buddy Holly, The Beatles and the Shadows to name just a few! Fondly referred to as 3 Mechanics and a Trucker due to their daytime occupations and known for their work on Fenders! Line up includes Jim on drums, John on lead vocals and guitar, Peter on lead guitar and backing vocals plus Dave Brown on bass guitar and backing vocals.
Roxi & The Blue Cats line up includes the dynamic and emotive Roxi with powerful stratospheric vocals, exquisitely brilliant ex U-Boat bass player Philip Plant (also played on Man Who Fell To Earth film soundtrack and with Red Buddha Theatre), Rick Moxon on rhythm guitar, Jim Gardner on drums (Blulix, the Donkeys, the Sabbath Tribute Band) and newcomer Martin Ellins on lead guitar who is also a well respected guitar teacher for a number of schools in the borough.
They will be supported by popular local acoustic folk/contemporary singer/songwriter Jim Dawson and his musical partner Lou on percussion who regularly provide entertainment to audiences at Folk Festivals, venues and for Music in Hospitals and HM Prisons throughout the UK.
