Since appearing on the scene in 2015, October Drift have gained a reputation for delivering blistering, high-energy live shows. Their first tour sold out before even releasing their first single, such is the buzz around their live performances, and have become one of the major success stories on the independent circuit. Since then, their singles have been bigged up by Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy and Q magazine to name a few.

Mint is a loud and energetic cocktail made from parts of Iggy Pop and The Hives. Hailing from Grimsby Town, Mint can be described as the erratic and gut-busting Rock’n’Roll that your father smokes cigars to. With a Live Lounge under their belt, they are also heavily championed by Radio 1, Kerrang!, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, BBC Introducing, Channel 4 and ITV This Morning.

Experience the dynamic and captivating sounds of Free Man & The Blundells, an indie rock collective hailing from Grimsby. Founded in December 2019 at the iconic Blundell Park Hotel and the brainchild of former 'Kismet Riding' frontman, Mike Freeman.

From soul-stirring melodic piano ballads to all-out infectious bangers, Free Man & The Blundells will undoubtedly leave you humming their tunes the morning after.

Their influences range from Sam Fender to Talking Heads, DMA's to REM, Queens of the Stone Age to The Stone Roses, and Primal Scream to Ice Cream, Free Man & The Blundells deliver a captivating blend of genres that will resonate with a wide audience.
