The Bluebells enjoyed a whirlwind  career spanning the early 1980’s with a  recording output including three U.K. hit singles. “I’m Falling”, “Cath” and “Young at Heart” made with a procession of producers including Elvis Costello who became a mentor and teacher to the band. Guitarist and ex-fanzine publisher Robert Hodgens (aka Bobby Bluebell) wrote instantly memorable classics  in collaboration with the two McCluskey Brothers who completed the Bluebells’ essential troika and Kenneth McCluskey sang them in a likably unaffected voice, making every track count.

2024 will mark the 60th anniversary of The Animals self-titled debut album. The band exploded on to the scene in the sixties with their classic versions of Boom Boom, Around and Around, and The Right Time.

This year will also be the 60th anniversary of the single The House of The Rising Sun, a seminal crossover hit that changed popular music forever. The Animals And Friends features the original drummer and founding member of The Animals, John Steel, plus Danny Handley on guitar and lead vocal, Barney Williams on keys (Milltown Brothers), and Norman Helm (Jerry Donahue) on bass.

With over 20 global top ten hits, expect a fantastic show of pure classics including We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Baby Let Me Take You Home and more. Come and join the boys for an evening of fantastic rhythm ‘n blues and celebrate the amazing career of the living legend John Steel.

The South Elmsall Village Brass Band can be traced back to humble beginnings in 1884; adopted by the local Frickley Colliery in 1905, it has gone on become one of Britain’s most successful ever brass bands and a jewel in the crown of Yorkshire’s musical heritage.

During its long and impressive history, Carlton Main has competed and triumphed at many of the most prestigious competitions and is currently one of the top ranked bands in the world. Most notably, the band has held the titles of European Champions, National Champions, British Open Champions, Granada TV Band of the Year, BBC Best of Brass Champions, Spring Festival Grand Shield Champions and British Open Quartet Champions.

Carlton Main have been consistently ranked among the top 10 brass bands in the world. They have made regular appearances on the BBC’s flagship programme Songs of Praise, performed with the world renowned Rambert Dance Company and toured Europe with the Gary Clarke Company's National Theatre Award Winning COAL. In 2018 the band headlined ITV’s charity fundraiser The Real Full Monty while 2022 saw them join the National Theatre to perform the musical adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's famous The Caucasian Chalk Circle with an incredible cast of over 150 people.
