20:00 – 21:00 LAUREN HOUSLEY & THE NORTHERN COWBOYS

Lauren Housley is an Americana singer and songwriter hailing from Yorkshire, whose blend of material has been described as both thrilling and tender, propelled by a voice that stirs and soothes. As Paul Sexton, music journalist and broadcaster (BBC Radio 2, Sunday Times, Billboard Magazine) said: “What I love about Lauren’s voice, and the music she makes with her stellar band, is that she brings such pure, spontaneous soulfulness to everything she touches. Both on record and on stage, she’s the real deal.” Come and see Lauren and The Northern Cowboys this August in Colne!

21:30 – 22:30 BEAUX GRIS GRIS & THE APOCALYPSE

Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse is the musical creation of Greta Valenti and Robin Davey. The pair met when their respective bands crossed paths on YouTube, having already established themselves as performers and musicians. To fully understand Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse is to experience the band live, a mix of soulful songs, intense energy, and world-class

award-winning musicianship. RhythmBooze summed up the show finale as “A mind-boggling, blistering finish with everything thrown in including the kitchen sink… truly memorable”.
