Saturday Line Up

The Reserves

13:25 Saturday 9th September

 

• • Jack Isaac – Guitar & Vocal

• • Daniel Lear – Bass & Vocal

We are a Punk Rock trio based in the Milton Keynes area.

We pack-out our sound with classic gain, full-toned bass, with timely-steadfast beats and rugged vocal. We are available for gigs, local events, parties, anywhere the music is needed.

The Band began way back in 2008 at Ousedale school; when Jack Dan and ex-bandmember Tom were grouped together in muisc class. The band eroupted from there on, and many a gig laterm and a change of name; and The Reserves were born.

Sound of The Crowd

14;40 Saturday 9th September

Drawn together by a shared passion for fantastic music, and for playing fantastic music live, Mick, Blair, Justin and Roger came together through a mix of persistence, pandemics and polyphony. Together we made a pact that we would play the sort of songs that moved us, and that don’t normally get played, and we would do it all live and be as authentic as we could.

The late seventies and early eighties were a period of amazing creativity and innovation in electronic music, particularly in the UK, as artists from Sheffield, London, Liverpool and other places started making fantastic, exciting and exhilarating pop music, and the world sang and danced their pants off together as they did.

Each of the members of Sound of the Crowd have played in many bands of many flavours over the years, some of us have played in bands with some of the others, but this is the first time that we’ve all played together, and it’s been a delightful mix of satisfying and inspiring to find how well we’ve come together.

The Recollections

16:00 – 16:45 Saturday 9th September

Route 66

17:15 Saturday 9th September

We are a band of 6 (sometimes 7) musicians, who love to play popular rock and soul cover numbers. Our current set lists include selections from our “Playlist” page.

The band members are:
Jonathan Billingsley – Lead Vocal and Bass Guitar
Chris Ford – Vocals, Keyboard and Alto Sax
Anna Hailes – Vocals and Trumpet
Michael Hailes – Vocals and Dums
Roger Mann – Vocals and Lead Guitar
Karl Richardson – Alto Sax and Tenor Sax

The Reformers

18:35 Saturday 9th September

After many years of playing in many different bands, our 4 culprits finally put together a live act that is destined to stand out from the crowd, not just musically, not just for the suits, but for a mix of great tunes, great fun, great energy and a great look.

There aren’t too many bands around that can tackle a mix of great classic tunes from Rock to Pop to Punk to Glam and make them their own. Let’s face it . . . who do you know that has mixed together Oasis and T-Rex in the same song or managed to get both the Australian National Anthems into one single tune? There aren’t too many times you will hear a Culture Club song played in a way that’ll have you bouncing around like a rubber ball on steroids or a Gloria Gaynor tune rocked up to near breaking point . . . are there?

Welcome to The Reformers . . . . If it ain’t Fun, we ain’t gonna bother !

Bailey Devon

19:45 Saturday 9th September

Mad Mods & Englishmen

20:30 Saturday 9th September

Anyone that has seen the ‘Mad Mods’ live will tell you that they are no traditional covers band. Their energetic performances have built them a massive following and they have a reputation of packing every venue they play at, and then bringing the house down! 

Their repertoire includes hits from The Who, Small Faces, The Kinks, Rolling Stones, Spencer Davis, Yardbirds, The Jam and many more, and yes, they’ve even been known to smash the odd guitar up on stage!
