======================
THE EMPIRE POLICE:
Noise from the heart of Lancashire. Since forming in June of 2015, Preston quartet The Empire Police have released several singles and EP's. The Empire Police have supported the likes of Cabbage, Twisted Wheel, Trampolene and The Sherlocks. They continue to establish themselves as a must-see live act with gigs across the North of England. Described by Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music as ‘completely extraordinary’, The Empire Police are certainly ones to watch.
THE WHITE HEAT:
When a nationwide lockdown hit in 2020, founding members of The White Heat Ethan Briscoe and Brad Hoyle were forced to record their musical ideas from their bedrooms, rather than in a recording studio. Just over two years later, early in February of 2022, Briscoe and Hoyle came together with Cam Proctor and Elliot Collings to officially form The White Heat. They brought with them their contrasting musical influences, 00’s alternative, 80s rock, and metal - giving The White Heat their unique wall of sound. The White Heat have gained a sizeable local following from performing live music in their home city of Preston. They released their debut single on 26th February 2022, just two weeks after their official formation.
THE GLASS SKIES:
Hailing from Huyton, Liverpool, The Glass Skies combine the Indie sound of the north-west with a raucous Pop-Punk energy to form a unique Post-Pop Punk sound.
The band consists of John Riley (vocals and guitar), Sonny Price (drums), Lachlan Challoner (lead guitar) and Ewan McClelland (bass).
HENRY HOUSE OF WOLVES:
House of Wolves take inspiration from a classic rock style, with a raw-yet-refined sound, and Henry is no different. Going solo, Henry knows how to work a crowd and get the good vibes going.
THE OUTER LINES:
If you want to see Preston's newest indie talent, these guys are the next big thing if you ask us. Ones to watch.
FACE ACHE:
Here to sink your sorrows and raise your joys via dance. Preston made bedroom pop rock indieness, because everything’s indie these days. Badabing Badaboom.
CODA SMOKE:
Coda Smoke are 4 piece alternative rock band based in the North of England. Szymon, Tom, Olly and Skorge all met in university and bonded over their shared love of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Guns N' Roses.

#SAVETHEFERRET:
Earlier this year, The Ferret received a bombshell email. The owners of the building had put it up for sale, potentially letting the place fall into the hands of a developer and putting The Ferret at serious risk of closure.
It's absolutely vital that this grassroots music venue is saved, for the people of Preston & beyond.
We've already secured £500k via our friends at the Music Venue Trust! We now need to raise the final £150k to buy the venue & continue hosting live music for years to come.
We’re asking for your donations, of any amount, to help us reach that target.
It’s a big ask, but we can do this with your help.
