VALDEZ
Valdez has been a regular feature on the East Anglian live music scene for over 10 years! They've become renowned for their energetic live performances and eclectic mix of rock, pop, and funk classics, liberally mixed with reinvented 90s dance songs!
The three-piece formed after Ash Vigor, frontman and guitarist of rock covers band, Growler, met drummer Hayden Power, who depped for them on drums on numerous occasions before the band ultimately split. Both keen on starting a new three-piece, their search for a bassist began but finding the right fit proved challenging until Alex Baker replied to their ad. He did one audition and it just clicked! The rest, as they say, is history!
This lively three-piece has been entertaining crowds across East Anglia and beyond is one not to be missed.
1.30 - 2.30pm
AFTER HOURS

The present lineup consists of mostly ex professional musicians who have, individually or collectively, shared the bill with such acts as Suzy Quatro, Thin Lizzy, Toyah Wilcox, Rory Gallagher, Danny Bryant, Dr Feelgood, Buddy Guy, and many many more . After Hours bring their own take on loved and popular standards by artists such as ZZ Top, The Eagles, Cream, Wishbone Ash, Hendrix and much more.

The show is exactly as you advertised.. a chill out show.. we'd come back. Had a good weekend despite the cold. Well done and thank you to the people who put the show together.
