Brighton beach boys play Beatles and beach Boys 1966

The award-winning Brighton Beach Boys turn their focus to 1966: The Year Pop Exploded!

Jon Savage positions 1966 as the pivotal moment when popular music transformed from commodity into art form, when “pop was everything” and “rock dropped the ‘n roll.” 

The year’s two towering achievements arrived within weeks of each other that summer. The Beach Boys’ *Pet Sounds*, released in May, represented Brian Wilson’s masterwork of studio innovation and emotional vulnerability. Wilson’s symphonic arrangements, featuring sleigh bells, bicycle horns, and Coca-Cola cans alongside conventional instruments, created what a new kind of introspective pop. Songs like “God Only Knows” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” married complex orchestration to themes of longing and loss, establishing the album as a blueprint for conceptual ambition in popular music.

The Beatles answered in August with *Revolver*, an album marking their decisive break from touring and embrace of the studio as instrument. From the tape-loop experimentalism of “Tomorrow Never Knows” to the string-quartet elegance of “Eleanor Rigby,” *Revolver* demonstrated the possibilities of pop modernism. The album captured the era’s neurotic nostalgia while simultaneously pushing forward into uncharted sonic territory.

THE GREATEST SKA + 2 TONE HITS PERFORMED LIVE

It’s over 40 years since Jerry Dammers launched 2 Tone label and while music genres come and go, few styles have stood the test of time as well as ska. The distinctive instrumentals, raw energy, and forward-driving brass section has given ska music the chance to carve out a niche in the musical world.

The Gangsters, who took their name from The Specials track, keep the tradition of black and white alive with what can only be described as the ultimate Ska tribute band. Dressed from head to toe in their very own 'Gangsters' gear, the band look as good as they sound.

The Gangsters ethos is to play the songs in the style of the original band. So, as you would expect The Gangsters play the very best from Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, The Beat plus a whole host of Ska and 2 Tone classics. So, from the very first beat the floor is filled!

With the very best Ska and 2 Tone songs, exciting live shows and a sound that encapsulates the best of what ska music has to offer, there's no doubt that The Gangsters are rightfully considered one of the very best Ska/2 Tone tribute bands around.

Curved Air is a unique band, synthesizing an eclectic blend of musical styles into an instantly identifiable sound. Curved Air's hits include "It Happened Today", "Vivaldi", "Marie Antoinette" and "Backstreet Luv". Curved Air founder member vocalist Sonja Kristina leads a skilled and talented line-up, bringing their unique music to an existing and new fanbase in the 21st Century.

Curved Air’s concerts and festival appearances continue to thrill a steadily increasing mass of new and old fans worldwide. Their experimental blends of classical themes, electronic sounds and pop/rock energy and beautiful, timeless songs are performed with fire and passion and tremendous musicianship.

Considered "one of the most dramatically accomplished of all the bands lumped into Britain's late-'60s prog explosion", Curved Air is a pioneering British progressive rock group of musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds.They are famed for their unforgettable live performances and 'Art Rock' music - the quasi classical imprints of Terry Riley hooked onto beautiful and demonic violin combined with electronic adventurous synths and interwoven with brilliant guitar wizardry mesmerisingly embroidered by the subliminal and exotic presence of a unique lead singer Sonja Kristina. All these elements elevated them from the underground Roundhouse scene to top the album charts in the early '70s.

"Sonja Kristina prowls the front of the stage expertly playing off the energy of all the performers with her. There's no denying they remain formidable live!" (Prog Magazine)

"The undisputed queen of British Prog is on tour again and what a joy it is to see her and Curved Air back in action. The whole group of assembled musicians are perfectly qualified to recreate the band's uniqueness authentically. Catch them while you can." Classic Rock

ALAN FLETCHER, DR. KARL KENNEDY OF NEIGHBOURS, RETURNS TO WORTHING WITH HIS AMERICANA BAND FOR A NIGHT OF SOARING SONGS AND ANECDOTES

Alan Fletcher has worked as an actor and musician for more than 45 years in Australia and the United Kingdom. As an actor, Alan is a household name because of his portrayal of Dr Karl Kennedy for 30 years on the iconic Australian drama Neighbours.

As a musician, Alan has performed as a front man for rock band Waiting Room that played a weekly residency in Melbourne for twelve years and toured the UK ten times over eight years. In 2020 Alan moved away from Rock and commenced a solo career in Americana / Alt-Country and Folk. Collaborating with producers Lachlan Bryan and Damian Cafarella Alan’s releases include the EP ‘Dispatches in 2023, an album ‘The Point’ in 2024 and his latest album ‘Back to School’ in February 2026.

Alan also released a Country Music duet entitled TELL ‘EM with his partner of 35 years and fellow band mate Jennifer HansenIn Summer 2024 Alan toured the UK with a full band, playing 20 sell-out dates in venues the length and breadth of the country, including a performance at the prestigious Kendal Calling Festival in Lowther. In 2025 Alan’s band played 34 dates throughout the UK and Ireland playing to thousands of enthusiastic supporters and Americana music fans.

“Engaging, delightful, wistful and original, The Point is classically crafted whilst contemporarily composed. It’s an album that covers a wide spectrum of emotions, that shakes and stirs with infectious honesty.” The Manc Review (mancreview.com)

“Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’." Entertainment-focus.com

“Five hugely talented musicians and singers delivering a truly outstanding set of Americana ... up there with the finest gigs ever ... loved every second ... richly entertaining show ... doesn’t get much better!!” Rich Wakefield Leicester Musician review 2024

MULTI-AWARD WINNING BLUES ARTIST CONNOR SELBY RETURNS TO THE FACTORY LIVE

Connor Selby is one of the brightest talents on the UK blues scene; incredibly he was voted "Young Artist of the Year" at the UK Blues Awards for three consecutive years. He has an impressive venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 and has since gone on to play Hyde Park, London, on a bill with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in the summer of 2022.

The Truth Comes Out Eventually. Honestly is something that we should all aspire to live by. Authenticity is a word that's undervalued in today's fast-moving landscape and disposable culture, but authenticity and truth are interwoven, and if you have one, then the other naturally sidles up. There are a number of reasons Connor Selby has chosen this as his album title.

These two words have always been at the heart of the music of the young British troubadour Connor Selby. Having moved around as a child between the UK, US, and UAE before settling in his birthplace in Essex, he has always had a burning passion for the authentic rootsy music of the US - it was one of the few constants. This passion seeps into his very existence.

Authentic, roots-based voices have penetrated the mainstream in recent years; from the soulful yearns of early Leon Bridges, the groove of Gary Clark Jr., the booming voice of Jacob Banks, the raw and haunting delivery of Ray LaMontagne or the earthy tones of Rag ‘n Bone Man - those voices cut through, and they stand out, they make you take notice, because they don’t sound like everyone else.

Selby’s voice echoes these trailblazers; enveloping his music with an emotional integrity. He delves deep into his soul, all the way down into his core and the feeling of belonging. "The songs are about my feelings of being in the world, and not really feeling like I belong," he explains.

Clare Grogan says: “It means the world to celebrate these songs with the people who grew up with them—and with those discovering them for the first time. The music of Altered Images has taken me on an incredible journey, and revisiting Happy Birthday along with all our hits feels like the perfect way to honour where we’ve been and where we’re going next.”

Playing all the best of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees respectively.

The Cureheads were formed in 1990. The band played its first show in Stockholmin July 1990 at Frietzfronten in St. Eriksgatan 89, an underground bar owned by a Swedish political party, and played its first large headline show at the WGTin 1995. Then known as Fat Bob & The Cureheads.

The band has toured in the UK, the USA, continental Europe, and South America, playing festivals, including opening for Echo and The Bunnymen and The Pretendersat Guilfest.

“the Arctic Numpties whip up the audience into a crowd-surfing frenzy…you can feel the hours spent studying their near name sakes” The Guardian   

The Beat live: Original British Ska at it’s very finest

The band crossed over fluidly between soul, reggae, pop and punk, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. Along with their contemporaries The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, The Beat became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of the British SKA movement.

By Christmas of 1979, The Beat were riding high in the UK charts with their first single, a smoking remake of the classic Smokey Robinson tune Tears of a Clown.

Over the course of the next five years The Beat toured relentlessly and released three studio albums: “I Just Can’t Stop It”, “Wh’appen”, both reaching number 3 in The UK album charts and “Special Beat Service”. The band toured the world, touring with such artists as David Bowie, The Police, REM, The Clash, The Talking Heads, The Pretenders, and The Specials, to name but a few.

The Beat kept scoring hits with tunes that have now become so popular that it’s hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist, such as Mirror in the Bathroom, Hands Off… She’s Mine, Too Nice To Talk To, Save it for Later, I Confess, Stand Down Margaret, and their serene cover of Andy William’s Can’t Get Used To Losing You.

The Beat featuring Ranking Jnr continue to perform all the classic hits in their dynamic live shows.

Despite his health challenges, Jones continues to add to a career that already includes multiple British Blues Awards, over 50,000 albums sold worldwide, #1 album in the Official UK Jazz & Blues chart. This time, however, the focus is less on charts and accolades and more on telling his story through stripped-down, heartfelt blues.

JUNGLE, RAGGA, DRUM N BASS LEGEND GENERAL LEVY IN WORTHING

One of the most in-demand and distinctive MCs on the planet, General Levy has been tearing up events for the last three decades, bringing an unparalleled energy to his sets.

Born Paul Levy in London in 1971, Levy grew up in the vibrant Harlesden and Wembley area for most of his early years, surrounded by different West Indian, European, Asian and African influences.

He grew up in a community heavily influenced by reggae music and black culture and from an early age, a certain militancy was instilled in him along with a love and respect for rebel music. He was also inspired by his big brother Winston Irie who had a vast record collection of music from ska to rock steady, calypso to soul, hip hop and reggae that gave Levy a steady diet of music through his adolescent years.

Since then General Levy has gone on to work with various producers such as Sly & Robbie and Sting International, Shaggy, Steelie & Cleevie, Artful Dodger, Jetstar, Ajang, Joe Grind, Gussie P, Stingray, Heartical Records, to name but a few.

THE FACTORY LIVE ARE THRILLED TO WELCOME IRISH ICONS HOTHOUSE FLOWERS BACK TO WORTHING

Something amazing happens when Hothouse Flowers step onto the stage – something that has been shaped by over thirty years of singing and playing all over the world, yet no two shows have ever been the same! There is a sense of musical adventure, an impulse to reach new heights and depths in music where the unspoken aim is that the band and the audience become one and the world becomes a different place for a while.

There is an unpredictable energy in the band that harkens back to their "Risk" days playing on the dancefloors of Dublin’s late-night clubs. They call upon their grand repertoire to create a show that is unique to the time and place. Improvisation can come at any point and allow the band express their brightest and their darkest influences. "Rock and Roll is not about safety or politeness, it is not about perfection either. It is expression and it is spirit." Humour is also never far from a Hothouse Flowers night. They do not take themselves seriously however, there is no mistaking the musical integrity among them as they open up to each other in musical dialogue.

Fiachna, Liam and Peter are traditional musicians. This allows for moments of ancestral connection. From a Doors-like musical workout one minute, to an earnest and timeless offering to the memory of Currachaí na Tra Báine the next. A song inherited by Fiachna describing the blow inflicted upon a community and a family due to drowning. This moment and moments like these set the Flowers apart from almost any other band of their time and trade. They are carriers of culture and all of what that entails.

Hothouse Flowers are a rock ‘n’ roll band, Hothouse Flowers are a traditional band, Hothouse Flowers are a soul band, Hothouse Flowers are a jam band with their own brand of jam on both sides of the bread!

Despite the bands lengthy career which is now well into its fourth decade there is a sense of unfinished business. Every night they want to play the best gig they have ever played and take the musical risks that can maybe make that possible. There are still songs to be written and emotions to share. Whether its in a tiny club, an arena or in a festival field there is a sense that the best is yet to come.

Every performance is a powerful journey through the band’s greatest hits, including the stadium-filling ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World,’ the thunderous ‘Shout,’ and the hauntingly beautiful ‘Woman In Chains.’

After his family had regularly attended their gigs, Curt Smith went to see the renowned tribute himself at The Fleece in Bristol in August 2025! More than just a tribute, Close To Tears captures the essence, emotion, and artistry of Tears For Fears—delivering a show that’s as professional as it is unforgettable.

Stipe: performing r.e.m

R.E.M. are one of the world’s most enigmatic bands. With a string of peerless albums; one eye on the underground and one eye on the soaring chorus; we will never see their like again.  From “The One I Love” through to “The End of the World” and more besides.   

Stipe bring you all the top songs from these icons including “Losing My Religion”, and “Man on the Moon” and with all the atmosphere, attitude, emotion, and energy you’d expect.  Stipe will provide the same cagey mix of attitude, poetry and idiosyncratic sound built around jangling guitars and hazy vocals of frontman Michael Stipe. 

Whether it’s playing major festivals or appearing on the One Show, performing for Michael Stipe himself, Stipe are the definitive R.E.M. tribute – a complete band, and encyclopaedic knowledge of the back catalogue.  They bring R.E.M. to life on stage – the contrasts and the magic; that direct connection to the music. The boys from Athens’ legacy is in good hands.

British blues rock giant Danny Bryant, known for his soulful, fiery guitar-playing and powerful vocal delivery, tours to worthing next spring with his full band PLUS support

With his new album Nothing Left Behind, released In February 2026, Danny Bryant opens the most personal chapter of his career to date. The British guitarist and singer-songwriter — a fixture of the European blues-rock scene for more than twenty years — presents a record that marks both a fresh start and a natural progression, musically as much as personally.

Nothing Left Behind broadens Bryant’s characteristic sound with new colours, bold arrangements and a wider sense of scale, shaped by the cohesion of a band that has grown closely together. All five musicians are integral to the project — a deliberate choice in the studio, where the aim was to create an album that feels as alive on stage as it does on record. “We wanted to make an album we could perform live,” Bryant says. “With five of us on stage, we can reproduce the full sonic picture we created in the studio.” The resulting sound is broader, bolder and more vivid than anything on Bryant’s previous releases.

Engineer Martin Meinschäfer — known for his work with Henrik Freischlader — delivered the album’s recording and mix with characteristic clarity. “I was in a vulnerable place,” Bryant says. “Marc helped guide that process musically. We didn’t want to make a standard blues-rock record. It was about songs we believed in, regardless of genre.”


Nothing Left Behind balances driving blues-rock moments such as “Swagger” — with riffs that nod towards ZZ Top and AC/DC — “Three Times As Hard” and “Lover Like You” with markedly intimate material. “Enemy Inside” stands out: a stark, affecting ballad in which Bryant confronts his past. “Redemption”, with its unmistakable Led Zeppelin influence, forms another key moment on the album.

Nothing Left Behind feels like a new beginning — the sound of a musician liberated from the need to hide. The result is a varied, dynamic record that resonates emotionally while carrying a renewed sense of energy. It is the sound of an artist holding nothing back.


WITH SUPPORT FROM KATIE AND THE BAD SIGN

“Gritty, raw, and bluesy guitar sounds with a voice that pours with emotion and fills a venue, Katie & the Bad Sign have played across the UK, including Upton Blues, Wychwood festival and shows in Switzerland and Germany. Hailing from Manchester, they describe their sound as a mix of Americana, Blues & good ole Rock n' Roll. Their 70's inspired music takes you on a journey from catchy melody to gravelly throttling vocals, giving an essence of Janis Joplin brought into modern-day dark rootsy rock. 

THE UNPARALLELED TRIBUTE TO THE SMITHS LIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE

For over twenty years, THE SMYTHS have brought the music of The Smiths back to life in the live arena across more than 900 shows worldwide having headlined Shepherds Bush Empire, Cardiff Tramshed, The Electric Ballroom Camden, Newcastle City Hall and The Ritz in Manchester, as well as countless festivals including Glastonbury, The Isle of Wight and Bestival.

Acclaimed by Johnny Marr (on Radio 6) and Stephen Street (Smiths Producer), rather than employ silly props and clichéd visual tropes, The Smyths focus on the live experience of a Smiths show. They imagine what The Smiths would sound like today after more than 40 years of playing the songs to several generations of fans; from the teens of then who are Grandparents now, to their children and onto to the teens of today.

The music of The Smiths remains as fresh and important as it did at the time of it's inception. This experience focuses on the experiential, the fevered rush of a brilliant band playing the songs of a generation that reverberates and resonates today.

For anyone mourning the live absence of the original band, The Smyths are the closest you'll ever get to being there.
