Neil Young at 80 - A Celebration
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a tribute event - You will definitely hear songs written and recorded by Neil Young as well as the artists original music inspired by the great man.
Long may he run - NEIL YOUNG turned 80 in November 2025 and we think that calls for something of a celebration which is why we've gathered together a bunch of fantastic musicians to pay homage to one of the greats of the music scene.
In 2017 LEE MADDISON provided the soundtrack for the BBC documentary 'Life of a Mountain: Blencathra'. Airplay on BBC 6 music followed and in the same year, Maddison's provocative dig at the music business 'Charlatans and Blaggers' was given the track of the week slot on BBC Tees.
'Lee Maddison weaves one of the most beautiful tapestries imaginable.' - Maverick Magazine
BUCK CURRAN is an American singer-songwriter-guitarist, record producer, painter and guitar maker. Curran's acoustic and electric guitar playing is characterized by the extensive use of low alternate tunings, slide, and his use of the EBow. The EBow uses a magnetic feedback circuit to vibrate strings without touching them, allowing players to sustain notes indefinitely. Curran's music is associated with the Psychedelic Folk genre, though his musical origins stem from performing traditional and original Blues and Folk in the 1990s.
‘Curran is able to turn a well-known folk standard into a journey through a beautiful, treacherous landscape. His talent is an alchemical one.' - KLOF
‘No Love Is Sorrow is a beautiful piece of work….Curran sings with the gravelly decorum of Mark Lanegan.' - UNCUT
