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.

L.T.P (Standing for Less Than Perfect) are an acoustic/electronic duo that have been fortunate enough to have their emotive originals played on BBC Introducing.

They played LeeStock acoustic stage, Alive and V Dubbin acoustic stage, Felixstowe carnival main stage and Ipswich music day Grapevine stage 2023 and are set to have another successful year for 2024!
They gig around local pubs and events with a mixture of cover songs across the era's and genres with something for everyone! They try to put their own spin on well known classics to excite their audiences.
Now focusing on uplifting covers while they work on future material.

The Magic Es have been declared as “the best British rock band since Oasis” (Henry Lipput, cooldadmusic.com) while others, such as Don Valentine at I Don’t Hear A Single, compared their album Dead Star to The Stones and The Killers. Ultimately they’re a melodic rock band with pop sensibilities; memorable hooks, with big choruses oozing out of every track.
They’ve received radio play across the globe on 100s of stations and a mountain of enthusiastic reviews from the likes of KEXP, BBC Introducing, XS Noize, One On One Music and Amazing Radio. If you're a fan of 90's inspired indie rock and Britpop, then The Magic Es could be your new favourite band.
