Diane Tremarco has been involved with
music since the age of 14. A successful
career as a musician led to her owning
and running the Buz Magazine for
eight years. Unfortunately, a chronic
illness meant that Diane could no
longer perform and so she kept her
hand in running a weekly music column

together by a mutual thirst to make complete
idiots of themselves at any given opportunity.
The band consists of Kitty Staunton on lead
vocals and guitar, Federico "Freddy" Spera
on bass/backing vocals, Jonyx on guitars/
backing vocals and Valerio Pompili on the
drums. They promise an energetic and
erection-inducing live show, fun for the
whole family. of influences keeping their music eclectic
and exciting. Onstage, they aim to be as
entertaining as possible and guarantee to
be better than sex. The band regularly tours
across the UK and have supported a variety
of touring artists, including Discharge,
Psychostick, Skarlett Riot, and Green Jellÿ.
They were one of the few British bands to play
Metal Days 2017 in Slovenia and returned in
2018 to play the main stage of their sister
festival Winter Days of Metal.
In a blur of headbanging, booty-shaking,
pelvic-thrusting mayhem, Novacrow deliver
a sleazy heavy sound, with their wide range On August 31st they played a sold-out crowd
at Sheffield O2 Academy at Hard Rock Hell's
Highway to Hell festival.

NEWS...
ELFIN BOW
Elfin Bow’s music has been described as a
fairy tale experience, pastoral psych-folk with
an undercurrent of electronic ambience. With
imagery that blends her twin passions of
music and art, her songs and stage presence
exude colour, charisma and a gentle charm.
I heard this lady’s voice a good few years ago
before she fully embarked on her career in
music. From the start I predicted she would
go far as her voice was unique, and her
creativity was off the scale. This week she was
signed to PeacockSunrise Records. Hats off to
you Miss Bow and huge congratulations!
THE DIRECTORS
Henry Floyd – Lead Vocal / Rhythm guitar; Peter Cunningham – Lead guitar / Vocals; Paul
Keelan - Drums; and Steve Murphy – Bass guitar.
The Directors came together in January 2019. Their style has been described as ‘high energy’
and ‘feel-good’ and this is something they are proud to maintain. With years of gigging
experience with former Wirral bands Insanity Beach, Trunk Monkeys and The Radiators,
they bring experience, stagecraft and excellent musicianship to every venue.
They cover songs from The Killers, U2, Stevie Wonder, Foo Fighters, Beatles and George
Ezra to name but a few. Playing songs from the last four decades means that they can adapt
to their audience and tailor their set list to suit each occasion. With so many songs in their
repertoire every show is a great experience for both the crowd and the band.
