REDCAR ROCKS FESTIVAL COMEDY STAGE

PHIL NICHOL-the canadian comedian abandoned the familiar stand up routine in favour of a over the top music/comedy show.He takes to the stage with slicked back hair a wide smile and acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder.He devoted the act to his 90's hit 'the only gay eskimo' doing everything he can to goad his audience and makes himself automatically likeable to the crowd who certainly lapped him up-VERY FUNNY

VIKKI STONE-Funny-well from a womans point of view !!!

ROB ROUSE-Top man well worth the entrance money on his own!!

Well done to the organisers top comedy line up for this first festival hope its back next year

The DOGGONE DADDYS- O'Gradys Redcar 27/3/11

Great gig sunday for this tight 50's combo who are quickly becoming favourites of the Redcar crowd.These guys dont just play the hits from the rock n roll decade but actually live it.Fantastic set range from the original great rockabilly tunes thro to Jerry Lee's Breathless,NatKing Cole's Mona Lisa,Drifters Fools Fall in Love, throw in a smattering of the Kings hits & a bit of Johnny Cash

and you end up with a rockin foot tapping show.Great guys aswell(surely young Phil is going to end up as a Elvis impersonator!!!!)Back soon please

The REVOLUTIONAIRES-Redcar Jazz Club February 5 2011

Established within the ‘hotbed’ of the North East music scene in the UK, they power out jumpin’ hot rhythm & blues in their own indomitable hard hitting style.Primarily, they are influenced by 1940’s and 1950’s R&B. On this occasion they lived up to their explosive reputation and delivered an energetic set including hits from Louis Jordan thro to Frankie Ford

and they certainly filled the big stage at Coatham Memorial Hall,a great band,a great venue,a great atmosphere-A GREAT NIGHT!

THE PERSUADERS O'GRADYS REDCAR 6/8/10

Still yearning for the days of the cavern club and

merseybeat? then the Persuaders are the band for you.A great journey back in time playing all the classic sixties sounds sugar and spice,have I the right,ticket to ride plus plus plus.With their raw stage presentation it could have been august 1964

*a great feelgood show.

New to the scene this young rockabilly band served up a great performance friday night-a set that ranged from Johnny Burnettes 'Lonesome tears in my eyes' to 'John im only dancing' thro to Stray cat Strut,the latter obviously been a great influence on the band.Overall a polished performance and great set -well done to Harrys for booking
