Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs

Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs, fast becoming national festival favorites, are the Godfathers of the musical genre 'Skunk' - Skiffle/Punk.
The basic core of three members: Hobo Jones (Tea chest bass, Banjo, Gob Iron), Miser Bill (guitar & Kazoo) & Wino Tyrone (Washboard, pots, pans & kitchen sink) are one of the most unusual and energetic acts playing in the UK today.
They will skiffle almost anything (including The Pussycat Dolls!) and with seriously funny banter between/during songs...

Amsterdam

Amsterdam (1)
Amsterdam were formed on Merseyside in 1999 and promptly stayed there - mainly because they didn't really have any band members or any songs - but Ian Prowse had to tell his friends in the pub he had a new band going. A few gigs were played with various band line-ups and to stunning indifference, but all this changed in 2000 when the arrival of Ian's best-ever songs rescued him from the pub and they immediately won an NME competition to find the best-unsigned band of 2000. Next up the band were one of the winners at the prestigious music biz event In the City.

Young Runaways

Young Runaways are a special talent who will carve their orchestral infused songs into your brain and leave them there forever.
It is music that will get people talking, made by a six-piece who use violin, trumpet, trombone and keys blended with electric guitar, drums and bass to produce rock ‘n’ roll one moment and elegant chamber pop the next.
The band, comprising a set of siblings and friends from the West Midlands, is fronted by Matt Pinfield and Harriet J Woodcock.
Last year they released their self produced debut album The Boy & The Beartrap.

The Unstoppable Team

Indie / Funk / Rock band from the UK with an MC fronting...Having played Glastonbury & Manchester Pride in 2008, the Unstoppable Team are releasing their debut single in Spring 2009... MORE INFO: There has to be a point where disillusionment turns into action. For The Unstoppable Team, that time came late in the summer of 2007. Surveying a Manchester music scene left fractured, flat and frozen in time by years of self-cannibalisation and regurgitation, the band acted to distance themselves from the legions of uninspiring bands plaguing the city.
