Blues Harvest will once again be transforming Preston into a wretched hive of scum and villainy this December as they bring their 'BLUES HARVEST HOLIDAY SPECIAL' to The Ferret! The bands annual event will, for the first time, be an 'extended edition', meaning more bands, acts and surprises, with an early (4pm) opening and late finish.
Blues Harvest are a pop culture party band who have been delighting audiences at comic-cons, space centres and cantinas across the galaxy for over a decade.
Adapting their name from ‘Blue Harvest’ (the fake working title used to hide the 1982 production of Return of the Jedi) the band first performed their blend of geek culture with movie themes and popular hits to an audience of Star Wars fans and celebrities at a convention in 2013, and since then have built up a most impressive reputation as the go-to party band for geek events.
The UK based six-piece consists of Darth Paul (vocals & percussion), Lapti Nik (guitar & vocals), Ad Bane (guitar & backing vocals), Androo-Detoo (keyboards & backing vocals), Bass Windu (bass guitar) and Andylorian (drums & backing vocals). This talented sextet effortlessly fuse geek culture, nostalgia and energetic performances at their memorable live shows, blending their musical influences with fandom culture to result in an uplifting set of timeless movie bangers (Power of Love, Ghostbusters, Flash, Footloose), movie and TV soundtracks (Star Wars, The Mandalorian, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf), 70s awesome mixtape highlights (Hooked on a Feeling, Mr Blue Sky) and plenty of surprises along the way. Their live shows are a multimedia feast, with movie and TV footage being projected along with the music, evoking a nostalgic and crowd-pleasing experience.
“Magnificent! The lyrics, performance and John Williams’ theme fade-out: PERFECTION.”
– Mark Hamill
“Blues Harvest rocks!”
– Ray Parker Jr
“What a din.”
– Warwick Davis
Inspired by franchises such as Star Wars, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Guardians of the Galaxy and many more, Blues Harvest is the perfect cantina band to celebrate the sci-fi, comics and fantasy genres.
…
Appearing alongside Blues Harvest will be Zpor, of extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE, with an intergalactic DJ set, plus live music from synthwave soundtrack master Beckett, the sci-fi prog surf cabaret rock band Zvilnik, plus Pop-up Puppet Cinema with another cult classic performance, and more announcements to follow!
