| Belinda O'Hooley and Heidi with Debs Gatenby | |
| Comedy, folk, rock and cabaret queen - singer songwriter Belinda O’Hooley’s wretched claim to fame which has left her both outwardly embarrassed and secretly proud. In 2001 she won ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ as Eurythmics diva Annie Lennox. She then bought a piano and turned to songwriting and hence her debut album Music Is My Silence. Drawing from folk, indie and classical influences, Belinda’s music is difficult to categorise. Fresh from a successful period on keyboards with Rachel Unthank and the Winterset where she added comedic timing to the rising stars of folk, Belinda is back to running the show - alongside the velvety-voiced Heidi – and a good show it always is with stand up comedy from Debs Gatenby. |  |

| Rock Night with Scuffers, I.E & Sean & Ben Jessen from the Stations | |
|
Scuffers are a five piece band from Halifax who describe their style as indie/alternative/punk. They started off in 2007 as Novacaine for a radio project for Creative FM in Huddersfield. As they were heard on the radio people became interested in them which led them to play a gig at the “Stokestock Festival”. Over the years their music changed, as did their members. They played a lot more shows and decided to become Scuffers Romance. Now (being known just as Scuffers) they have continued to develop their sound and they have come to have a great following from their success. I.E describe there sound to be “emerging as a fresh disco-indie sound with very vibrant tracks”. They are growing in popularity in a range of different places; this is clear from the U.S unsigned download chart where they are placed at no.1 and no.2. |
