Jah WobbleMon 7th  July 7.30pm

In a career that now spans 19 years Wobble has always managed to surprise, delight and confound his core audience.

LoganThurs 17th July at 7.30pm
Logan
Sheffield, The Boardwalk
 It’s not many UK bands who can say they were taken to America by one of the most successful A&R reps of the decade… after playing only one gig. That’s what happened to Logan, and it merely typifies the great things that this band has achieved in such a short space of time.

The band’s earliest recordings quickly caused a buzz after being placed on a select few U.S. based Web Boards. Within a few months Logan had picked up a large and loyal fanbase in the USA that led to their songs being played on college and some mainstream radio, all across the country. Ironically, it was Logan’s early success in America that ultimately led to them breaking in the UK.

Former Creed Guitarist, Mark Tremonti, was made aware of Logan by a mutual friend. When Creed broke up and Tremonti came to the UK with his new band, Alter Bridge, he invited Logan to open up the Glasgow show, and unlike most support bands who play their set to polite applause at best… Logan had the whole venue in the palm of their hand by the end of the second song!

The huge success enjoyed by Logan that night, led to the band being invited to join Alter Bridge on their next two consecutive UK tours. Needless to say, Logan triumphed every night, and in every city! In the space of 9 months Logan had gone from being largely unknown, to being a band who sold out their first UK Headline Tour and then self released a single which entered the Official UK Rock Chart at Number 12. That single stayed in the Top40 for Seven Weeks!

Logan are Kenny Collins on Vocals, Al Reilly & Mick Coll on Guitars, Steve Reilly on Bass and Iain Stratton on Drums.

Livewire AC/DCSat 19th July 7.30pm
Livewire Ac/Dc

Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Live/Wire - The AC/DC show with a big difference! Both the Bon Scott & Brian Johnson eras of the band are included - with two very individual singers in the same explosive performance! The band bring the full size 'DC show to the fans - complete with the cannons, the walkways, the backdrops and the drapes. With a rock hard rhythm section and Lorne cutting the rug as Angus Young, it's easy to see why Live/Wire is the UK's hardest working tribute band. All the classics are there from Whole Lotta Rosie and Highway To Hell, to Thunderstruck and Back In Black. With Live/Wire there's no holding back - it's the full on show from start to finish! Close your eyes and you'll hear AC/DC; open your eyes and you'll see AC/DC!

Martin StephensonSun 20th July 7.30pm
Martin Stephenson

Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Martin is an extremely gifted singer, songwriter, musician and performer. Originally influenced by the punk rock era, his free spirit incorporated a musical range from rockabilly through show tunes and straight rock to the success of The Daintees, of which he was a founder member in the '80s.

Ian McLaganTues 22nd July 7.30pm
Ian McLagan & The Bump Band
Sheffield, The Boardwalk
Without the Small Faces, we would never have had Brip Pop. Ian Mclagan, a member of Small Faces, which became Faces when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood joined the band, Ian 'Mac' McLagan is a rock'n'roll icon. Mac co-wrote many Faces hits, including Cindy Incidentally, You're So Rude and Three Button Hand Me Down. His distinctive Wurlitzer electric piano can be heard on the Faces' Stay With Me and the Rolling Stones' smash Miss You. It was Mac's trademark B3 you hear on Small Faces' Itchycoo Park, Rod Stewart's Maggie May and You Wear It Well.
