Dream Rider

From the vibrant music scene of Manchester, Stone Park emerged with a fresh sound and serious musical pedigree.

Chris Cullen (bass), Kelvin Barlow (keyboards), Ken Bradshaw (guitar) Rick Lacey (drums) and Chris Berry (vocals)

The band was based on true collaboration. While Chris Berry led on lyrics, the whole band shaped the songs building melodies, arrangements, and structure together. This was a real band project, with every member leaving their mark.

The hard work paid off in the studio. Their sessions with Pete Troughton at Studio Studio2 in Whitworth brought everything together. 

Stone Park quickly built a reputation for high-quality live shows and authentic, original music. This was a band forged in experience and driven by creativity

Wild West

Bluesline formed in Lancashire in the late 1990s and quickly became popular on the UK blues circuit, performing at festivals and specialist blues venues across the country. Their album was well received and captured the energy and quality of their live performances.

The band was driven musically by Chris Roach, with powerful vocal performances from Tommy Carter helping to shape their distinctive sound. Darren Howe provided solid bass guitar, and the lineup was further strengthened when highly respected drummer Rick Lacey joined the band.

Bluesline eventually disbanded when Chris returned to perform full-time with his brother in The Roach Twins Band. Rick Lacey soon joined them, and later, Darren Howe was also brought into the group.
