Returning to Whitwell in 2025 on our indoor stage on the Saturday, we have the amazing The James Warner Prophecies. JWP are a Derbyshire based 3 piece Rock Band who have returned to music following a little time away, rekindling their passion to create this huge sounding collection of songs as a real labour of love. All songs cover their personal experience of recent times in the UK and beyond, with powerful lyrics and melodies penned by frontman and producer Joe Brown.

Joining us on our indoor stage on Saturday 6th September, we have Crooked Few. Based in Sheffield and Chesterfield, playing a mix of covers and originals with a folk punk rock twist. Feel good music for a miserable world.

They combine sounds drawn from a wide range of influences, from Ska to Rap and Soul to Punk.

As they seamlessly blend powerful political imagery with sweet harmonies and heavy grooves easydread will get you thinking as well as skanking.

Sam Scherdel joining us on our main stage on the Saturday.

Dubbed the ‘South Yorkshire Springsteen’ Hook laden, Epic and Energetic Songs, all delivered with his trademark growl. soulful songwriter Sam Scherdel has been penning songs since his early teens, finally releasing them with the world in 2022. With his gravelly voice contributing to his unique blueprint; his music is never too far strayed from Rock and Alternative resonances that were the background of his youth.

He has achieved over 3000ticket sales since launching in 2022 including a sold out headline show at the Leadmill. Major festival appearances including Glastonbury 2024, Tramlines, Rock n Roll Circus and also support slots with Ocean Colour Scene, Cast, Embrace Reverend and the Makers and Two Door Cinema Club.

spam.jpg

Nottingham band Spam play high octane, punked-up versions of 70s and 80s pop songs as well as some classic punk rock and new wave covers and are guaranteed to get the party started.

With Pam and John on vocals, Steve on guitar, Ian on bass and new boy Craig on drums, Spam have been rocking festivals for the past seven years.

Their Facebook page had to be called Spam The Band as apparently some little-known tinned, processed meat company already had the name!

Jaz Delorean is a London based British Singer, with the European touring band Tankus the Henge and also on his own at the piano. He has a colourful past together with a wild and wandering present. The songs that he sings and plays on the piano are tender observations of our fragile and sometimes twisted existence on this planet, taking inspiration from bar-room piano players of the Old West, the mournful Melodie’s of his Cypriot ancestry and a patchwork of comic and tragic stories from growing up around a travelling funfair.

Strange things happen in dreams, but stranger things can happen in waking life, and Jaz Delorean has never shied away from baring his talented soul to anyone willing to listen. He’ll pull at your heartstrings, and get you dancing to the rhythms of his fingers and forgetting your own worries for a time, before skulking off into the blackness behind the neon carnival lights again. Some things aren’t meant to be kept.
