The Line Up for the next event will be held at the Farnborough Football Club on 20th April will feature The Landings,The Spirals, The Beelines, Wob and Billy Liberator. Along with with top local DJ Ed-Liner and compère extraordinaire Andy Clark….
The Landings are a four-piece band from Aldershot, Hampshire. They are keyboard heavy and unashamedly 80’s sounding with anthemic bangers. They have released two albums, 2015’s self-titled and 2017’s ‘Seconds’. They are currently working on a third album. Worthy headliners.
The Spirals play a great mix of indie, alternative, brit pop, punk, new wave songs with the occasional off-thewall track that will get you thinking “… where have I heard that before?” Something for everyone.
The Beelines formed in 2019 with shared punk and mod influences as a starting point their sound has broadened and developed. The songs are lyric driven, full of characters, big themes and melancholic reflections with
hooks to stick in your head.
Wob “A little guy with just a guitar and an extra-long pair of vocal chords, Wob began the show by kicking ass… humorous and passionate, the combination of his clever acoustic style and his perky stage presence was definitely worth seeing, the crowd vouched for that” Beat Magazine.
Billy Liberator Opening proceedings is Woking’s Billy Liberator, who is known, who for his energetic and impassioned acoustic performances. Recent support slots to the likes of Big Country, Eddie Macdonald (The
Alarm), Gaz Brookfield, and Jay Aston (Gene Loves Jezebel) have given a wider audience the opportunity to witness the positively charged live show.
