| The
greatest and hardest working singer-songwriter
of his generation, Paul Weller returns to
Manchester to perform tracks from his brand
new album 22 Dreams. Weller first burst onto
the national music scene in 1977 with his
first band, The Jam. Six years later he formed
The Style Council before becoming a solo artist
in 1991 with the release of his self-titled
debut Paul Weller. Weller's recording legacy
is now peerless - six albums and four number
one singles with The Jam, four albums with
The Style Council, nine on his own, including
Wildwood and Stanley Road - plus numerous
one offs as The Council Collective, King Truman
and The Smoking Mojo Filters. In 2003, Weller
worked with electronic rock band Death In
Vegas on a cover of Gene Clark's So You Say
You Lost Your Baby. (back

and ambitious project to date, Ghost Opera
. Ready to continue their ascension to the
pinnacle of metal royalty, founding guitarist
Thomas Youngblood, bassist Glenn Barry,
new keyboardist Oliver Palotai and drummer
Casey Grillo join lead singer Roy Khan to
complete this journey to systematically
alter the face of metal. Throughout the
recent years, their releases have achieved
cult status around the world. Ghost Opera
will once again raise the bar for others
to follow.

COMPLETE
STONE ROSES (Wulfrun
Hall) |
|
| Saturday
28th March 2009 - 7pm |
The
Complete Stone Roses are now one of the
UK's most well-known, most seen and most
successful tribute bands. Selling out venues
across the UK and Ireland regularly, they
have helped to carry on the music of one
of the UK's most influential bands, the
Stone Roses. The Completes are perfectionists
at their art and have gone from strength
to strength after several changes in the
line-up - something very few bands manage
to do so effortlessly. Of their commitment,
Mani from the Stone Roses says their attention
to detail is amazing, the bass he uses a
Rickenbacker 3000, which is extremely rare,
but they have found one.

TERRORVISION
(Wulfrun
Hall) |
|
| Saturday
11th April 2008 - 7pm |
Alongside
New Model Army and a fertile bhangra scene,
Terrorvision are the Yorkshire city of Bradford's
chief musical export. And, after capturing
a UK number 1 single in 1999, there is every
reason for them to be a source of local
pride. After abandoning the name Spoilt
Bratz in 1991, Terrorvision (named after
a cult B-movie) formed around vocalist Tony
Wright, guitarist Mark Yates, bass player
Leigh Markley and drummer Shutty. A single
demo tape was enough to convince EMI Records
to offer them not only a deal, but their
own imprint, Total Vegas. A succession of
albums followed, melding pop hooks with
metal guitars (akin to a harsher Cheap Trick).
These included Formaldehyde (1992), How
to Make Friends and Influence People (1994)
and Regular Urban Survivors (1996). These
spawned a series of chart appearances for
singles such as "New Policy One,"
"Pretend Best Friend," the excellent
"Alice, What's the Matter?" and
"Perseverance." The latter took
them into the UK top five, illustrating
their broadening commercial appeal. That
was confirmed with the release of 1998's
Shaving Peaches, a heady mix of wacked-out
pop and rock piledrivers with a real dumb
charm that some compared to the Ramones.
Despite attendant single "Tequila"
topping the charts, Terrorvision were nevertheless
dropped by EMI before the end of the millennium.
However, their own label scored a working
relationship with Papillion in May 2000.
A sixth appearance on the "Never Mind
the Buzzcocks" Christmas special soon
followed prior to the band returning to
the studio the next year. Good To Go, their
fifth album which sparked the hit single
"D'Ya Wanna Go Faster?," appeared
in February 2001. Sadly, after a string
of spring shows, Terrorvision's 13-year
career came to a halt when the band disbanded
in June. A small farewell tour in the UK
was scheduled for late fall to coincide
the release of the retrospective, Whales
& Dolphins, in September. (back
