Terry Garoghan

There's is no better person to lead you through the streets and suburbs of Brighton than the self appointed Unofficial Mayor himself. Terry carries the whole show single handed, for this is his affectionate tribute to the place where he was born and bred. The local paper called it "brilliant and witty". It is also a big bellylaugh in a naughty seaside postcard kind of way. Quintessentially Brighton is Brighton the Musical.

It’s a truly rare occasion when a debut by a band is met with the kind of feverish fan anticipation that has encircled LUCKY STREET, the full-length debut by Tallahassee, Florida melodic rockers GO RADIO. But then again, none of those other groups have JASON LANCASTER at the helm.

Charlie B

Pop-rock sastav Charlie B osnovan je septembra 1992. godine u Novom Sadu. Osnivači Srđan Janković i Lazar Drecun odlučili su da okupe ekipu u želji da nastave tradiciju novosadskih pop bendova osamdesetih, a da ujedno pokušaju inkorporirati u taj zvuk uticaje bluza i soula, kao i jakih gitarskih rifova zaostalih iz vremena punk projekata u kojima su učestvovali. Na samom početku im se pridružuju bubnjar Saša Rangelov i basista Bojan Filipović i u toj postavi će bend funkcionisati naredne dve godine sve do prestanka rada 1994.
