Chris Farlowe and The Norman Beaker Band In June 1966, Chris Farlowe took the Jagger/Richards song ‘Out Of Time’ to the top of the UK singles chart. Although Chris only topped the charts once, he enjoyed a number of other hit singles including ‘Think’, ‘Ride On Baby’ and the hugely popular ‘Handbags And Gladrags’.

Since that time, Chris has been a regular on the UK and European Rock and Blues circuit. An album ‘Waiting In The Wings’ was released to huge critical acclaim and his band Colosseum sold out a massive tour of Europe with Chris Farlowe ‘The Voice’ still sounding as fresh and powerful as ever.

Chris’ band is the five piece Norman Beaker Band.

Norman Beaker has been at the forefront of the British Blues scene for the last three decades, playing with the likes of Alexis Corner, Jack Bruce, Paul Jones and Eric Burdon. Recently the band have been recording and touring the UK and Europe with Chris Farlowe and Van Morrison.

Eddi Reader Eddi Reader was brought into the limelight with Fairground Attraction and their single ‘Perfect’ and parent album First of a Million Kisses which both topped the British charts. However, it has been her subsequent solo albums which signalled her increasing ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them all very much her own. From the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi brings to life all forms of song and what sets Reader apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance.

She has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers.

He tells his story and theirs, ponders his poor reflections of their perfection and asks what of their future?
