A word about our listings

A guide for Customers

These days artists and bands tend to book their tours months in advance. In order to give you the best notice of up and coming shows we list events once they have been confirmed by the band or their management.

The downside of this is that dates can change due to unforeseen circumstances, sometimes at very short notice. We do our best to ensure that this site is kept as up to date as is possible, with updates happening at least once a week.

Therefore to avoid disappointment we recommend that you check these listing prior to setting out for your show especially if you are travelling any distance.

A guide for Artists and Promoters

The quickest way to get yourself included in our listings is to send an email to musicianlive2 at gmail.com once your gig is confirmed.

We also need you to do the following -

Put the name of the artist or band name along with the date of your show in the email subject line.

Attach a reasonable sized photograph. A 72dpi, jpeg, bigger than 200x200 pixels would be fine. Please don't email files over 1mb in size. If in doubt please drop us a line before sending. Let us have your web address so we can link to your site or Myspace page.

Send us some text. Whilst we are happy to tidy up spelling or grammar, we don't have the time to write or edit copy for you. Ideally we need a nice concise 'blurb' of between 75-100 words. Please don't send a three page biography, or else we are likely to bounce it back to you. If you have a selection of press quotes send what you have as we can usually easily compile something from them. There are plenty of examples of the sort of thing we need here on the site to help you out.

Please note - If you have played at The Musician before and we have text on file, we will continue to use use it for any subsequent listings unless you supply new copy.

If you spot any errors please send an email to darrennockles at gmail.com.

The David Wyatt Band….

Those that venture out to venues, supporting friends, catching old favourites or new recommendations speak in revered tones about those truly special nights when spellbinding happens… when the music, performance & atmosphere transcends the usual and legends are born.

We invite you to such a night.

David Wyatt is an incredible singer / songwriter, blessed with a soaring voice, an enchanting charisma and a wealth of diverse original material showcasing his skills. Backed by the finest musicians around working only to serve the songs, The David Wyatt Band conjure sonic magic which will take your breath away.

After an incredible sell out show heralding their return last December, David and Band are back for a summer fixture. Expect the unexpected, along with the usual ridiculousness, banter, tangents – but above all else, expect THE Voice, THOSE songs – and THAT Band.

‘After December we can’t wait to play again, it was amazing to see so many familiar faces and make new friends. We hope you can join us in the summer – look after yourselves and see you there!’

This event is likely to sell out early - book now to avoid disappointment.

Simon 'Honeyboy' Hickling
£10.00adv £12.00door
Doors 1:30pm - 5:00pm
A world-class musician, Simon ‘Honeyboy’ Hickling is a blues harmonica ace with a hard earned and well-deserved international reputation.

His subtle and fabulously expressive playing is grounded firmly in the ‘50s and ‘60s heyday of the Chicago and Gulf Coast styles of playing.


With a tremendously experienced band backing him, Simon never fails to deliver anything less than a first-rate evenings entertainment and never lets good taste and soulfulness stifle a rockin’ night out.

The Serious Moonlights Plus Special Guests
£10.00adv £12.00door
Doors 4:00pm
The Serious Moonlights and Special guests - The Serious Moonlights will be performing a variety of David Bowie's music and will be joined in this by some very special friends. Formed in 2017, The Serious Moonlights happened naturally after getting together to appear in the 'Let's Play Bowie ' nights organised by Gaz Birtles to celebrate the music of David Bowie. However, it was agreed that once a year was not enough and the Serious Moonlights were born. Consisting of Simon Gilroy on vocals and bass, Jono Martin on guitar and backing vocals and Nick Murphy on Drums. Recently joining us will be Pete Turnpenney on guitar The idea is to celebrate Bowie’s music with an emphasis on some of the tracks that get less attention. There are so many amazing songs to choose from and we hope to continue to extend the range with such an important back catalogue available. We are not intending to be a tribute band as there will be no Ziggy makeup involved but we do hope to pay tribute to David Bowie, his music and all of the amazing musicians that worked with him over his career. We do intend you to enjoy the experience as much as we do and will aim to play some of your favourite tunes and hopefully introduce you to some others within each performance. www.seriousmoonlights.co.uk
