Formed in March 2006 from a jamming session, the Antarctic Monkeys became a phenomenon in their own right, travelling the UK and Europe with numerous tours. The demand is now more than ever.

Firmly established on the tribute scene, their live show has the power, passion and the creative edge to whip audiences into a frenzy when delivering the powerful tunes of the Arctic Monkeys as the way they should be.

Act Confirmed – Los Dambusters

admin — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:37:09 +0000

band from Leicester making waves!!

The Dambusters are a three piece band from Leicestershire that have been together now for over a year.

They are a trio of friends who have known each other from childhood, growing into the musicians they are today.

The sound is hard to describe but is a mix bag between rock, pop, surf and grunge.

Its hard not to get their catchy pop melodies stuck in your head with classics like “Hello Me Mo Mo” and “Sgt Doggles”.

Currently unsigned but always looking for that big break.

Act Confirmed – Jonathan Jones

Jonezy is 22 years old. He is a Rap Artist from Loughborough and what he writes about is, having a good time, poverty, life, true stories or anything that has a meaning or is cool. He grew up around music listening to mainly Eminem and 2pac all the time. He was inspired back when he was 13 to start writing rap songs. This lasted a year and by the age of 14, Jonezy gave up on rap music. By the age of 19, Jonezy was starting to write songs in his spare time in which popped out his first album “My way of Music” back in 2010. Currently working on his second album due for release later this year (Q4, 2012), Jonezy is back, prepared. More energy than ever before. So if you want a good time, listening to songs that will make you laugh, cry and feel good to be alive. Then Jonezy is your man!
