Songs of murder, betrayal, gambling, liquor and redemption. After self-releasing their debut album, the band signed to one of the UK’s top independent labels, recording 3 albums as part of the ‘Vintage Recording Project’ – essentially recording live-around ribbon microphones, as it would have been back in the 1930s. A further three albums were released in the last four years including their first-ever live album. 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the band and saw them play 100 gigs, taking in dates from Scotland to Cornwall and South Wales to Suffolk.

His travels have taken him the length of the UK, across Europe and Africa, headlining Blues and Roots festivals and from little French cafés to The Royal Albert Hall. Trevor has veered from his musical path by combining the deliciously soaring violin from Jo Chambers and the energetic and driving percussion of Jesse Benns, creating a fresh and exciting new sound that is now the ‘Trevor Babajack Trio’.

Both musicians had just enjoyed the busiest 12 months of their careers and it was time to appraise their respective situations. Together the two stellar musicians promise a powerful mix of rock, blues, soul and funk, all underpinned by Malone’s soulful song driven quality and triggered by Sibun’s high

levels of intensity and his inherent melodic feel. It’s an exciting musical partnership born of the same musical influences, but one that offers them a broader canvas than before.

An extremely popular attraction at the Great British R&B Festival are our busker tents and buskers performing outside venues around the town. We have fond memories of 2022, when the sun was shining and the streets of Colne were packed with people singing along with some very talented local musicians. We are incredibly excited to do it all over again and make even more memories in 2023 with our four busking tents… so come on and enjoy some brilliant, free live music on our high street from 2pm until 8pm (ish) on Saturday 26th August and Sunday 27th August.

LoCaL MuSiC ScEnE COLNE - WEEK IN WEEK OUT

Photography by John Williams Local Photographer

Bonny Colne on the Hill, ‘Bluestown’, a jewel in the crown of the northwest live music scene. For over thirty years this quirky little northern mill town has played host to one of the most important community music festivals in Europe. Music oozes from the pores of this town. So many top class musicians have grown up here and cut their musical teeth performing in its pubs and clubs, and on its festival fringe stages. Some of them, who were young children when the festival debuted in 1990, will be gracing its main stages in 2023. Colne has always had a great live music scene. Four long-standing weekly open mic nights continue to attract young up-and-coming talent. New Market Street, ‘Blues Central’, boasts two dedicated grass-roots music venues in Boyce’s Barrel and Mojo’s, where you’ll find live music three or four nights every week. The Dresser’s Club regularly hosts both well-established and new local bands, and plays an important role in Colne Blues Society fundraising events. Many of the other bars, such as The Crown, The Commercial, and The Venue continue to be a part of a local live music scene that is burgeoning once again following the covid hiatus. And, of course, no fewer than fourteen of our great local establishments have pledged their support to the festival by becoming Official Fringe venues.

LoCaL MuSiC ScEnE COLNE - WEEK IN WEEK OUT

Right now Colne-based artistes are putting out everything from original blues music to

award-nominated jazz, americana and country to left-field indie. We have signed singersongwriters, rock bands, pop bands, covers bands and tribute bands, with members young and old. Colne musicians continue to find their way to Manchester, London, Europe and beyond, and have performed to big crowds on big stages. This little town punches way above its weight on the UK music scene, and long may it continue to do so.
