There will be two sets from Leeds City Stompers, a red hot blues band conjuring the spirit of prohibition America and who headlined the acoustic stage at Europe’s biggest blues festival in Colne last year. With real 1920s drum kits, slapped double bass, metal resonator guitars from the 1930s and three voices “making old sounds in a new way” we are really looking forward to hearing them at this years festival.

The Downtown Roots will be taking to the stage. They have gained an enthusiastic Sheffield following in a very short time and are now plying their musical wares up and down the country and getting the same response. With Pete Botterill on bass, and James ‘Skinny’ Darnill on drums providing a solid rhythm section, Moz Casserly weaves his guitar with the ability of some of the greats, they will bring their psychedelic tinged, blues rock to the festival and create a truly memorable evening’s musical entertainment.

We see the welcome return of Loxley Silver Band, established 1889 in Loxley Methodist Church and rehearsing there until very recently. The band has a friendly, family atmosphere with players ranging from 10 to 80! Last year saw the band celebrate their 125th anniversary and the CD recording which is now available to buy. They were also asked to help a Cornwall based folk-rock band, Love Street, and played on their hit single “Susanna”, which is all about the Sheffield Pals regiment and their ultimate sacrifice in World War I. An EP including this single is also available, with part of the proceeds going to The Royal British Legion.

BenZ provides a lighthearted approach of the Magic Art filled with comedy lines and French style. His sleights of hands have been perfected to even fool the sceptics. His unique performing style will leave you highly entertained and bemused rather than impressed and freaked out. His show is a real piece of art, and you will with no doubts appreciate his magical choreographs.

Hi,
I have recently taken over as GM of The Place in Sheffield and was hoping that I could get involved in the Beer Festival in some way?
I look forward to hearing from you
