MaIn VeNuEs THE PENDLE HIPPODROME

20:00 – 21:00 THE MALONE SIBUN BAND The UK-based, Detroit soulful blues-rock star Marcus Malone teams up with explosive British blues-rock guitarist Innes Sibun for a new band with familiar faces. The new band came about with a chance meeting at a show which uncovered a surprising amount of musical common ground. 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.

21:30 – 22:30 CONNOR SELBY British troubadour Connor Selby had a clear idea of who and what he wanted to be at a very young age.

Upon discovering blues, soul and folk music at ten years of age, he started on a journey that has taken him into the heart of the music he loves.
