The Great British R&B Festival 2022

MAIN VENUES PENDLE HIPPODROME

Have we got a treat or 20 in store for you at The Hippodrome Theatre. Three days of sensational live music, from blues and rock, to folk and roots. With half of the seating removed, this year’s line-up is guaranteed to get you up and dancing.

FRIDAY 26TH AUGUST

7:30pm The Melvin Hancox Band sponsored by Derek Davies

Needless to say, if you like your blues/rock played with more psychedelic experience and imagination than most “The Melvin Hancox Band” is a show that really should not be missed! Born to song writer and playwright Stephen and artist Lynette, Melvin has of late had material played on Rick Wakeman’s Planet Rock Show, Zoe Green's Blues and Beyond and most recently on Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 Blues Show along with writing and television work.

9pm Lindisfarne New for 2022, the Great British R&B Festival will be presenting a twist to the norm. One of the most successful and much-loved folk-rock Bands will be appearing on this year’s festival. The Hippodrome will resonate with the infectious choruses from the late great Alan Hull songbook along with all the other classic songs. With a repertoire of unforgettable songs like Meet Me on The Corner, Fog on The Tyne, Lady Eleanor and Run for Home and a reputation for live performances second to none, Lindisfarne’s power to galvanise festival and concert audiences remains undimmed and is guaranteed to get the crowd on its feet and singing along!
