John Peel Day Line Up
Radio1
BCSU is hosting a very special gig to celebrate the great man. There will be 3 fantastic sets from Mr Derry, My Luminaries and Rocketchild plus tributes from The Wutars, Dariush Rashidi and The Charlie Parkers with ‘songs for John’.
Mr Derry – Staffordshire
"The amazing 5 piece ripped into the crowd with a truly impressive one hour set, and for their third gig the band oozed confidence. Lead singer Joni Coyne gave the tracks a very 60's feel, her husky voice blended seamlessly into the music with bittersweet perfection. Their style was reminiscent of The Strokes in parts but the fantastic female lead made it their own. The self-penned tracks blended pop with rock and country, without ever slipping to far into one genre."
Mercury Music, Nicky Robinson
My Luminaries – London
After a frenetic 2004/5 of extensive live shows (including downstairs at The Highbury Garage, The Clapham Grand, The Carling Islington Academy and The Camden Underworld), airplay on XFM and Radio 1, and selling all 1000 copies of their self-produced debut EP, My Luminaries started 2005 by signing to the prestigious Avalon management group and recording with the legendary Sam Williams (Supergrass/The Mystics/The Animalhouse). With increasing support in the media and an ever increasing fan base, My Luminaries continue to bring that certain repertoire to punters and music scenes alike.
Rocketchild – London
The Rocketchild revolution is falling rapidly upon us. Prepare to be swept away. The powerful and exciting music that Rocketchild create is complemented by the turbo-charged, throat blistering live shows which are becoming notorious around London. The bands sound draws on 2 elements: punk (Clash, Pistols, Ramones, Stooges) and also more classic 70's rock influences like Led Zeppelin and The Who. Front man and catalyst Richie has a self-styled Warhol-esq. 'community' of photographers, film-makers, artists and musicians that are all involved with the concept. His alternative vision has led him to work with such luminaries as Mick Jones (The Clash), Rusty Egan (The Rich Kids), Gordon Raphael (The Strokes) and alongside bands like The Subways, The Libertines, Art Brut, Bloc Party and many more.
Doors open: 8pm
First act: 8.45pm
