STIPE

R.E.M. remain one of the world’s most enigmatic bands.  With a string of peerless albums; one eye on the underground and one eye on the soaring chorus; it’s safe to say we will never see their like again.  From The One I Love through to The End of the World and more besides.  

Whether it’s playing major festivals or appearing on the One Show, performing for Michael Stipe himself, Stipe are the definitive R.E.M. tribute – a complete band, and encyclopaedic knowledge of the back catalogue.  The boys from Athens’ legacy is in good hands.

Thomas Bradley Project

Formed as a band in March 2024, Thomas Bradley Project are a folk-rock band hailing from Liverpool writing and producing original music for the genre. Lyrically, the songs tackle the social issues of the day while also delving into the lives of ordinary people – their labours, challenges and victories. What sets them apart though, is the lightness of touch and the beauty of the melodies, both instrumentally, and through Thomas' voice.

 

Having played various folk festivals in 2024 they are on their way to becoming festival regulars and already have dates for 2025 on the festival scene.
