Let’s take a minute to appreciate the marvellous artwork by the very excellent Brett Savage. His stellar designs always capture the sentiment of our shows. It’s not just you wonderful gig-goers who are supporting new music and live shows. Behind every gig there is a whole team of amazing people working together to support new music and the grassroots music scene and venues. And we are so fortunate with ours. For more information on these and other shows, head over to our page.
Here’s a short clip of Duke Garwood and his fabulous band from the other night. It was a magical evening, filled with ethereal beauty and raw talent. Astounding. Thank you for driving so far to come to come and play for us.
Thank you Ellis Best (of The Hazy Janes)for opening the show, you went down a storm 🙂
Thank you to everyone who came down, from near and far. And of course thanks to our excellent Crew, you really are fantastic. Thank you gig, Waka, Matthew and the Golden Lion Todmorden bar staff for your support.
Next one at the Lion for us is Dark Matter Promotions presents John Presley Band & Fat Frances February 23rd.
Massive thanks to you fabulous people who came to our joint Showcase with slomanmusic on Saturday. We strove to present excellent and varied original music to you and the bands smashed it. The bar was raised high from the start with Mother Sugar and continued to be pushed higher with each band that took the stage slab, Tokeo_Band, Slow Knife. And our headliners Hazel's Maze smashed it out of the park. You were all fantastic.
Please check them out and give them a follow, buy their music or buy a ticket to see their next gig.
Thank you Golden Lion Todmorden team, Gig and Waka and our crew. You are ace.
Here is a (bootleg) clip of Hazel's Maze, enjoy.
