The John Hackett Band embodies the spirit of progressive rock. From John?s pastoral flute textures, through the funky interplay between drummer Duncan Parsons and bassist Jeremy Richardson to the intricacies of Nick Fletcher?s lead guitar the group embrace pop, rock, jazz, classical, funk and all stops in-between, from the tenderest of ballads to hair-raising instrumental workouts!
Known for her magical, evocative voice and an ability to interpret and inhabit a range of styles with a mix of power and feeling, Heather Findlay is one of the finest vocalists working in music today. Prog magazine lauded her, ?Deliciously sultry vocals?, whilst Maverick magazine hailed her, ?Pure, crystalline voice. She grabs your heart in an almost vice-like grip?.
?This isn't just music. It is a wonderful gift to the world. Heather Findlay?s "Wildflower", is just what we need right now. Burt Bacharach?s song and Jackie DeShannon singing it; brought to life in an entire album. This album needs to be heard by everyone feeling the tragedy of war, or any other tribulation you can imagine.
Mark Preiss, Prog Rock Central (USA)
?If you enjoy acoustic music with wonderful female vocals and lyrics with meaning, then this is simply essential.?.
~Kev Rowland, Prog Archives (NZ)

BLONDISH are the ultimate tribute to Blondie — a fierce, high-energy 5-piece band delivering the raw sound, attitude and edge of Blondie at their absolute peak. Fronted by Celine as Debbie Harry, the band recreates the iconic vocals, swagger and punky charisma that made Blondie one of the most influential bands of the new wave era. Backed by top-class musicians, Blondish bring a powerful live rock show packed with energy, nostalgia and attitude.
The first half of the show features the legendary PARALLEL LINES album performed in full and in the original running order. With over 22 million copies sold worldwide and more than 100 weeks in the charts, this defining album includes classics such as “Hanging on the Telephone”, “Picture This”, “Sunday Girl” and “One Way or Another”.
The second half explodes into a full-throttle set of Blondie hits and cult favourites, including “Atomic”, “Maria”, “Denis”, “The Tide Is High” and more. Expect punchy guitars, driving rhythms, massive singalongs and the unmistakable Blondie sound.
Whether you’re an old-school Blondie fan or just love a loud, edgy night of classic hits, BLONDISH will leave you wanting more!
REVIEWS
If you’re I die hard Blondie fan from way back in the day then these guys will blow you away.
Well, what can I say, went to the theatre in Warwick this evening to see this Band perform, they didn't disappoint, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Great band. If you like Blondie, you must see this band. The singer looks and sounds like Debbie Harry; her voice is spot on. Had a fantastic night, great atmosphere and lots of dancing.
Wow, the best Blondie tribute act around! We had a fantastic night, vocals on point, amazing band and the visuals were great too. Really good song choices across Blondie's career.

The Four Horsemen of Economic Unrest, War, Global Warming and AI are galloping towards us. Are we on the road to hell? And can we avoid the potholes? In his brand new tour show ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie has the antidote to the breakdown of law and order, fake news and the price of baked beans.
He’s encountered more than his fair share of egotistical dictators in his policing career and learnt when pragmatism, and more than a dash of laughter, can defuse even the most menacing showdown.
Join Alfie as he’s saddles up to see off those bullies on their pesky ponies. Doomsday is no laughing matter, but this show certainly is.
