MICK GILIKER
Now here is a chameleon! As a solo performer, Mick is a great guitarist with a fantastic soul voice, compared by many to Stevie Wonder. Then put him together with either of his regular duo partners, the sound has a lot of jazz influences. With Paul Mathews on guitar you get fine laid back, soulful modern jazz, alternatively, with keyboard virtuoso Colin Browne (yes from Barclay James Harvest) you’re in for a treat with a much more bluesy type of jazz. Which ever way you hear Mick Giliker, you won’t be disappointed.
AWOL
Loud and rockin! Not for the faint hearted. AWOL’s lead singer, Mac, has a sultry voice, perfectly suited to the rock classics that you will enjoy but may not have heard for a long time - from the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band and Jethro Tull to the Beatles and Roxy Music. Famed for their version of the classic Chris Isaak song, ‘Wicked Games’, they are often referred to as Staffordshire’s most popular rock band.
