MULTI AWARD-WINNING BLUES ARTIST CONNOR SELBY RETURNS TO THE FACTORY LIVE WORTHING WITH HIS BAND

TRADITIONAL BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2025 + 2026
YOUNG BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2020+ 2021 + 2022

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 AND HER BAND PERFORM THE ICONIC ALBUM HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN FULL PLUS ALL THE HITS

Altered Images, one of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK post-punk and new wave scenes, are delighted to announce a special UK tour celebrating their seminal 1981 album Happy Birthday, performed in full by the band’s original singer Clare Grogan.

The tour will shine a spotlight on the album that launched their career while showcasing a full collection of the band’s greatest hits.

Altered Images became one of the early ’80s defining acts, scoring a string of chart successes including “Don’t Talk to Me About Love,” “I Could Be Happy,” “Happy Birthday,” “See Those Eyes,” “Pinky Blue,” and “Bring Me Closer.” Following her breakthrough with Altered Images, Grogan became a familiar face on screen, most notably starring in the cult-classic film Gregory’s Girl and later taking on roles across television drama and comedy. As an author she has written several successful children’s books.

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.”

With a setlist that spans shimmering pop anthems, post punk classics, fan favourites, and timeless singles, each show promises a vibrant celebration of the band’s lasting impact and the unique voice Clare Grogan continues to bring to British music.

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 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.

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.

Levy remains a Lionheart artist riding through the ups and downs of the music business and still maintaining focus, a love and joy for the business and people; and just like a fine wine getting even better with time and bringing the fire to any place he performs at!

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.

Three Electric Bands Headlined by Shanty-Punk Folk artist Man The Lifeboats with TJ Walker and YOUNG STANLEY IN AID OF LARA’S FOUNDATION

Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk mosh pit in 2016. Skinny Lister and Holy Moly & the Crackers were the two bands that lit the fire and blew the roof of the Garage that night. Fast forward 8 years and 100 gigs and counting and Man The Lifeboats are ploughing their full-throttle folked-up furrow on the festival circuit, winning over audiences at Moseley, Purbeck, Warwick, Swanage, Jurassic Fields, Beardy Folk, Folk in a Field, Bearded Theory, Deepdale, Ragged Bear and more, drawing comparisons to Bellowhead, Waterboys, Oyster band, the Levellers, and those folk-punk heroes the Pogues.

The second album Soul Of Albion hit no. 27 in the Official Folk Charts in 2022. Recorded at Rockfield Studios, it sounds like Led Zeppelin arm-wrestling Shane McGowan in a Birmingham brewery, like Jimbo band Fruitbat fronting Fairport Convention, like The Albion Band turned up to 11 with their fiddles on fire. Tonic for these troubled times.

Girlschool are a British rock band that formed in the new wave of British heavy metal scene in 1970s and frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead.

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.

The Guns N Roses Experience

NOBODY DOES IT BETTER! The biggest, best and most in-demand Gn'R tribute in Europe. Not an over-hyped claim, we prove it time after time. It does not get any closer than this people.

Gn’Re have the only singer able to deliver the exact same unique vocal style and stage show synonymous with Classic Axl Rose. Together with four other Gn’R clones, these guys deliver a sound and look that is unequalled by any other band.

Since their very first gig the Guns N' Roses Experience train has been rolling at an incredible pace, visiting various Middle Eastern countries, mainland Europe, Cyprus, Ireland and all of the major venues in the UK.

Legendary live performances. In a bone-crushing set all the essentials are covered with breath taking accuracy including Welcome To The Jungle, November Rain, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, Mr. Brownstone, You Could Be Mine, Nighttrain, Rocket Queen, Knocking on Heaven’s Door and so much more...

Don’t miss the chance to see the most authentic live Guns ‘N Roses experience touring today.

Other Bands have tried but fail to deliver a true GnR experience. GnRe are the only Band to succeed in performing the high Octane GnR live show witnessed by millions in the 80's/90's to exacting standards.

The legendary UK art-rock band Curved Air undertakes its farewell tour during 2026

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
