The Courtesy Group, fronted by the enigmatic Al Hutchins, will be headlining and supported by The Crooked Hooks. In The Sunday Times, Stewart Lee the comedian wrote of The Courtesy Group “live, they remain consistently dangerous and a robust antidote to a fully digitalised iTunes world”. In reviewing The Crooked Hooks, BrumNotes magazine wrote “Crooked Hooks are streetwise Brummie psych folk rock at its very best".
