Headsticks is on Saturday 10 April 2027 at Foxlowe Arts Centre, Leek, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £17.60, including the booking fee.

Headsticks are back at The Foxlowe in April. After their sell-out show in 2025 we just can't wait for this. Formed in 2012 Headsticks have built a substantial fanbase and earned a solid reputation for their very own brand of folk roots infused punk rock'n'roll. Their live shows are rousing, impassioned, raucous and emotional. Having done high profile tour supports with the likes of New Model Army, Steve Ignorant’s Crass (Full European Tour), Terrorvision, Ferocious Dog, and The Men They Couldn't Hang among others, Headsticks continue to receive equally high praise from the pillars of punk, folk, roots, and rock, with Louder Than war even describing them as ' Punk Rock Steeleye Span'. Their recorded material has received consistently positive reviews,. Vive Le Rock magazine describing the band as 'A breath of fresh air', while Louder Than War encourage you to 'Get out there and see these guys; talk about them. Get the revolution started!', Several publications have made their various albums their 'Album Of The Year' in the past. "One of the most irresistible and essential punk’n’roll adventures. Whether it’s the full throttle, heart pounding stompers, the anthemic singalongs...

Simon Evans is Staring at the Sun

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

Simon Evans is Staring at the Sun Simon Evans is Back! Waaaay back… With growing evidence that we are living in a Computer Simulation – and a pretty glitchy, off-brand simulation at that – and the approaching watershed of the AI Singularity looming like a weirdly pixelated cumulo-nimbus on the horizon, BBC Radio 4 stalwart and veteran of a quarter century of highly acclaimed stand-up comedy Simon Evans is squinting at an uncertain future, and revisiting the blue remembered hills of his youth. The analogue world of hitch-hiking, pub bets and hedge porn. Of being able to get properly lost. And also pondering the great thinkers and mystics of the past who had, it seems, the same doubts and misgivings about “reality”, back when an adjustable sandal passed for cutting-edge tech. NB Any similarity of Doll in package to Patrick Stewart is coincidental. No refunds. 'A masterclass' ***** (The Scotsman). 'Outstanding' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Dynamite' **** (The Times). doors 7.00pm starts 8pm

Soft Machine

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

Soft Machine is one of the greatest UK avant/jazz-rock bands of all time. Their work, from their earliest performances as a psychedelic band who were contemporaries of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, all the way to being one of Europe's best known 'fusion' groups, has influenced several generations of bands, and continues to be name-checked by today's hip experimentalists. Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the late 1960’s, the band’s spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which it freely avoids being pigeon holed and can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia effortlessly. This is a seated gig.
