🎸 Meet Lazy Fifty — ready to rock The Cave Redditch to a higher gear!
We’re absolutely stoked to welcome Lazy Fifty to our 48-Hour Perform-A-Thon at The Cave Redditch on Saturday 1st November at 10PM. This three-piece powerhouse, hailing from New Zealand, bring a sound that’s steeped in 70s classic rock, blues roots and full-on guitar power. Their live shows have been described as “one heck of a live band” — raw, energetic and relentless.

Lazy Fifty are no strangers to stage presence — with albums like 2021: A Lazy Odyssey and major international festival slots under their belt.

Their blend of vintage rock flair and modern drive means this set will be more than just a performance — it’ll be an experience. Come ready to feel the beat, move with the rhythm, and be part of the magic as the night crescendos into full rock mode at The Cave. 🎶

We’re delighted to welcome Mitch to The Cave Redditch’s 48-Hour Perform-A-Thon, performing at 2 PM on Saturday 1st November.

Mitch has released his debut album “12 Years In The Making” and his songs carry a genuine warmth, sincerity and melody that cut through.

Whether he’s crooning about love, life, or the quiet corners of our town, Mitch’s performance promises to be one where you lean in, listen, and come away feeling a little more connected. So join us at The Cave for his set—bring a friend, bring your foot-tap, and let Mitch’s music set your Saturday in motion. 🎶

🚌 SPOZ is rolling into The Cave — and yes, the wheels on the bus will go round and round! 🎤
We’re thrilled (and slightly nervous in the best way) to welcome the one and only SPOZ to The Cave Redditch Perform-A-Thon on Saturday 1st November at 12 Noon! This award-winning performance poet, songwriter, filmmaker, playwright, and professional bringer of chaos… sorry, joy, will be performing an hour of his own hilarious and heart-filled poetry — and trust us, this is one bus ride you don’t want to miss.

Former Birmingham Poet Laureate, SPOZ has performed everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to BBC Radio, school poetry slams, and yes, even in front of his mum (she approved, by the way). His work lifts poetry off the page and into real life — with laughter, rhythm, and a good dose of mischief along the way. Whether you’re 8 or 80, SPOZ has that rare magic that makes poetry feel like a gig, a comedy show, and a heart-to-heart all at once.

So, climb aboard The Cave bus at midday and prepare for SPOZ to drive you straight into the land of laughter, lyrics, and poetic brilliance. 🚍💥
Poetry just got louder, funnier, and way more fun.
