This Uneven Sky are a four-piece Manchester band whose music defies easy categorisation. Grounded in an explosive mix of Rock and Blues, This Uneven Sky also fuse the very faintest touches of Country and Folk to create a sound unlike anything else. Formed originally as a studio project in the autumn of 2006 by Drummer Andy Chemney and vocalist/guitarist Noel Fraser, This Uneven Sky have drawn on over 60 years combined experience to craft a selection of truly memorable songs. The strength of the band’s original material is amply showcased in their recently released self-titled album for DeepDark Records. With over 1000 gigs under their collective belts, you’d expect the band to be good live. And they are, with their blistering live performances already garnering critical acclaim.

The organisers of this year’s FleetwoodStock music festival decided to try and secure some funding from Fleetwood Town Council. Unfortunatley, despite of our efforts we were unable to secure any funding as we did not meet the funding criteria, namely that we were unable to prove we increased tourism into Fleetwood.

If you are travelling to this years FleetwoodStock music festival from outside of Lancashire, UK please email us so we can start a record of where people are travelling from.

Many thanks,

Peter

With a full performance schedule of local bands and artists, Sunday’s FleetwoodStock Music Festival proved to be a real success. The busiest Sunday afternoon and evening ever seen at the Festival since it’s inception in 2005.

From Garstang, Payload started off proceedings and got things moving with their first live performance on the big stage.

Next up were local boys Red Cabbage with a guest appearance from yours truly on guitar. Baz, Gaz, Si and Andy delivering hard rocking tunes! Baz cant half nail Justin Hawkins’ voice!

Triple Threat, from Millfield Science and Performing Arts College definitely increased the threat level with their well rehearsed set encompassing some classic indie punk.

Alex Hulme, originally from Garstang and currently attending the Paul McCartney Institute for Performing Arts and living in Liverpool gave FleetwoodStock an insight into his unique, organic and earthy pop style. His performance wowed the audience, his intricate picking style, powerful and yet delicate voicing showcased his talent. Alex is a extremely talented person who has a very bright future in front of him. His new CD is available for download at Cityscape Records.

The up and coming band Degenerate Blues delivered an excellent set led by frontman Andy. Heavily influenced by the likes of Muse / Coldplay and  Elbow / Kings of Leon they treated the Marine Hall to an insight into where they could be going in the future as they move towards writing and performing their own material. Have a look at their MySpace for ‘To you I say’.

Steph Fraser, who’s very first performance was at the FleetwoodStock Music Festival back in 2006 aged just 14 years old, has come a long  way in her musical career. Her wonderful voice is mesmerising as she delivers her own music influenced by the likes of Eva Casady and Suzanne Vega. People who know Steph know that she definitely has her own sound. At this years festival people saw first hand the natural talent that Steph has.

Then came the nth Degree who delivered a progressive rock set that had all the hallmarks of  their DreamTheater / Rush / Pink Floyd / Marillion influences. Their own unique approach blended these influences with good effect. An excellent band who are worthy of greater things.

Afternoon headliners the Sonic Jam Project brought the afternoon session to a close. Local Tower Music man Oli Brown now fronts the band. A great musical mix following the Foo Fighters et al genre.

The evening session kicked off with Indigo Sands delivering a solidly performed set in front of a highly appreciative crowd. A band who’ve come a long way in the previous 12 months.

The fantastic ‘up and coming’ band Lune Deep are able to deliver crowd pleasing music. With an aim of cutting through into the mainstream pub and club scene this band will go far. Watch out for them.

The Ex Velocity members formed Escape Artist and in doing so now write and perform their own original sounds; the only evening band to do so. A well delivered set that was very well received by all of those attending the festival.

Local wedding and club/pub stalwarts Monkberry delivered a blistering set that got the toes tapping. No announcements anywhere to be heard, just a highly polished performance.  Steve Wilson (drums) has now moved onto other musical projects and his job has now been passed to the highly competent Tommy Couch. Fancy dress was optional on Sunday and Tommy took full advantage of this opportunity. He was ‘Mystery Man’, until yours truly announced to the Marine Hall who he was!

The Jeps arrived on stage and blasted their way through an extended set. Now firmly glued to the stage they had the audience exactly where they wanted them.  The room was now at fever pitch.

Double headliners The Blue Pig Orchestra and The Good Machine shared the last 2 hours of the evening. First up was Blue Pig Orchestra. Melodic blues and rock delivered in a professional and polished manner, everyone enjoyed listening to and watching these musicians at work. Darren Rice’s  (Dazamakiz Music Shop) guitar work on the Eagles’ Hotel California was electrifying.

If you like your rock/pop music flamboyant and in your face The Good Machine deliver every time. Their performance was full of stunning sounds and it was indeed a powerful performance. The guitarists, Mike and Rob, are complementary guitar fretboard masters shredding their way through classics from Bowie, Snow Patrol, The Killers and The Rolling Stones. Front man Mike delivered every lyric with passion and power at the end of the encore the audience were left wanting more. The Good machines next gig is at The Venue, Cleveleys on the 17th September; if you can,  be there…
