Roundhouse Rocks

Bolton's finest four-piece indie-rockers The Velvetines are fast becoming one of the North's most unmissable live acts.Fusing the gritty, sharp-witted energy of early Arctic Monkeys with the soaring, atmospheric depths of Wunderhorse and Radiohead, the band delivers a sound that is both fiercely raw and undeniably danceable. Expect massive hooks, driving rhythms, and an explosive, high-octane stage presence that has already packed out iconic venues like Manchester's Deaf Institute. The Velvetines don't just play a set-they pull the crowd right to the front and leave it all on the stage.

Rusty Strings and the Bone Shakers is a popular, high-energy 5-piece local covers band performing across Greater Manchester and the Bolton area. Known for their covers of legendary acts like U2, The Killers, Queen, and Stereophonics, the group features Pat Gracey (vocals), Lee Revil (guitar), Mark Hutchinson (guitar), Alex Caldwell (drums), and Simon Warrington (bass).

The band has quickly built a dedicated local following and frequently performs at local venues, festivals, and charity events in and around Bolton, Bury, and Manchester.
