Alchemy Live bring to life the classic era of Dire Straits from the early 80s, playing hits including Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers In Arms and many more.
The band, fronted by authentic-sounding vocalist and superb guitarist Martin Ledger, are united by a common love of the music of Mark Knopfler and recreate his trademark sound as accurately as possible with a painstaking attention to detail. Collectively the band members have shared stages worldwide with legends such as Mike Rutherford, Mick Hucknell, Roger Taylor and more – these are serious musicians!
As the name suggests, many of the song versions are taken from the multi-platinum-selling double live album Alchemy Live, generally recognised as one of the best live albums ever recorded. Close your eyes and you’re right there at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 1983…

Manchester Academy 3 – Sat 12 April
Saltburn Theatre – Friday 9 May
Chester Live Rooms – Sat 14 June

Billingham Forum – Sat 10 Oct
Chasing Mumford bring you a joyous, high-energy, musically accomplished tribute to one of the biggest bands to have emerged out of the UK in the past 20 years.

ECHOES OF THE BUNNYMEN
An aural tribute to the Alternative Fab Four
Saturday 26 April
Saltburn Theatre
An aural tribute to the Alternative Fab Four played by four musicians who are huge fans of the Bunnymen and have managed to authentically recreate the early sound of one of the UK’s best-ever indie bands.
It’s not a traditional tribute act, no dressing up – just a love and appreciation of iconic music and long live the real thing. Lay down thy disbelief and groove!
‘Oh Wow’ – Les Pattinson, Echo and the Bunnymen
‘The band did a great job… If you see them on anywhere go check them out’ – Will Sergeant, Echo and the Bunnymen
THE SOUTHMARTINS ACOUSTIC
Stripped-down Beautiful South & Housemartins hits
Saturday 17 May
Stockton ARC
A rare 4-piece acoustic show in an intimate all-seated setting from a band that usually sells out much bigger rooms up and down the UK.
Expect hits from both the Beautiful South and the Housemartins with classic songs such as Happy Hour, Perfect 10, You Keep it all In, Rotterdam, Me and the Farmer, Song for Whoever and so many more classic pop hits from the witty, melodic pen of Ivor-Novello-winning Paul Heaton (he loves ‘em – and if that isn’t the best endorsement you could ask for then we don’t know what is).
FLEETWOOD BAC
UK’s original and most authentic Fleetwood Mac tribute
Friday 23 May
Stockton ARC
Rated by The Times as one of the U.K.’s top 5 tributes and raved about by Peter Green’s biographer, Fleetwood Bac were the world’s first and are regarded as the UK’s most authentic Fleetwood Mac Tribute show.
They were the first Fleetwood Mac tribute band to fully replicate the classic Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, John & Mick Rumours line-up and the sound, the look, the mystical atmosphere and on-stage chemistry are all portrayed with passion and energy.
Back by popular demand after their previous sell-outs at ARC, this promises to be a very special night indeed.
THE ROLLIN’ STONED
‘The best tribute to the World’s Greatest Rock n Roll Band!’
Saturday 31 May
Stockton ARC
‘About as true to the original as you can get’ – The Times Magazine
‘A magnificent Mick… exquisitely designed costumes… spot-on guitar playing’ – Mail On Sunday
With a Rollin’ Stoned show the costumes are shamelessly camp, gaudy and outrageously fab, the instruments genuinely vintage and the wit irreverent. However, while the tongue is never far from the cheek the band make sure it is never to the detriment of the music.
A typical two-hour show includes not only all the classic crowd-pleasing hits but is spiced with enough eclectic selections from the deeper recesses of Stones album archives to satisfy the most demanding of buffs. All performed with the same vibrantly authentic raw energy that characterised the original Stones in their prime.
‘Probably more authentic than the Stones themselves would be inclined to muster’ – The Times
SYMPLY DYLAN ACOUSTIC
4-piece tribute to Bob Dylan (‘but not a Bob Dylan tribute!’)
Saturday 31 May
Saltburn Theatre
Simply Dylan is the brainchild of John O’Connell. No frills, no gimmicks, no pretence – this is ‘a tribute to Bob Dylan, not a Bob Dylan tribute’. His band’s precise playing and high-energy renditions of Dylan’s work from the 1970s onwards have gathered momentum and generated incredible interest from modest origins as a project recognising Dylan’s 70th Birthday in 2011.
Since then Simply Dylan have gone from strength to strength – selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, receiving fantastic reviews for their international tours and opening up the Isle of Wight Festival on the Big Top Stage. And tickets are currently flying out for their latest full band tour which takes in some of the country’s most prestigious venues including Gateshead Glasshouse, Salford Lowry and Liverpool Royal Philharmonic.
For this stripped-down acoustic show John will be playing with a 4-piece band featuring instruments including violin, sax, acoustic and bass guitars, banjo, mandolin and of course harmonica.
THE MARLEY EXPERIENCE
The UK’s No.1 celebration of the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers
Saturday 28 June
Stockton ARC
The frontman has got the voice and star presence you’re looking for, and oh can the 8-piece band behind him PLAY. Prepare to groove, skank and holler your way through a set jam-packed with hit after hit including One Love, Three Little Birds, No Woman No Cry, Buffalo Soldier, Iron Lion Zion, I Shot the Sheriff, Could You be Loved, Get Up Stand Up and many many more.
Positive Vibrations all round… this one will be special!
LIVEWIRE
The AC/DC Show
Saturday 12 July
Stockton ARC
Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, Hells Bells, Whole Lotta Rosie… AC/DC – quite possibly the greatest rock band of all time – are brought to life by Live/Wire with the true passion you’d expect from five musicians who share your love of this legendary live act.
Live/Wire deliver a critically-acclaimed High Voltage two-hour rock ’n’ roll show that takes fans from Back in Black, one of the best-selling albums of all time, through to acclaimed 2020 release PWR UP with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era to boot.
All this with a full bank of Marshall amps and cannons (yep, actual cannons).
For those about to rock we salute you… but don’t hang around, this one sells out every time!
THE GRAND BURLESQUE REVIEW
Solo, group & variety performances!

Saltburn Theatre
Our first ever Burlesque event and hopefully that start of something special. Brought to you in association with House of Trixie Blue.
THE SMITHS LTD
Hits and curios from Manchester’s finest
Saturday 26 July
Saltburn Theatre
If you never saw The Smiths then this is your chance to experience the thrill of those great songs played live. If you were lucky enough to see them first time around then prepare to relive that excitement again.
Regarded as the ultimate tribute to The Smiths, this is a real coup for Saltburn as The Smiths Ltd normally play much bigger rooms and festivals. Buy while you can!
ELTON JOEL & THE JETS
‘Top Elton John tribute’ – the Sun
Saturday 20 Sept
Stockton ARC
A welcome return for an artist who took the roof off last time he appeared at ARC! This is a musically and visually-authentic, absolutely brilliant tribute to one of the greatest musical icons of all time.
An accomplished pianist (not all ‘Eltons’ are, we’re told…) and talented singer, Joel has performed all over the world including three headline sets at the world-famous 6000-capacity Alexandra Palace.
He’ll be performing tonight with his longstanding live band the Jets.
PURE WELLER
Paul Weller, the Style Council & the Jam’s greatest hits
Saturday 27 Sept
Saltburn Theatre
The ultimate tribute to Paul Weller’s amazing career – from the early days of The Jam through the seminal works of The Style Council through to his illustrious solo output.
Paul Weller has always defined genres and pushed boundaries with his songwriting and live performances and this high-octane 4-piece pride themselves on their live sound and stage presence that takes audiences through five decades of passion, unforgettable lyrics and those sing-your-heart-out choruses.
Main man Marcus has got bags of charisma and a belter of a voice, but this is very much a team effort with every member of this super-tight four-piece actively playing their part.
These lads absolutely smashed it in front of 1000+ people when they jumped in as last minute support with the Southmartins at the Town Hall last Christmas. If you weren’t there – come see what you missed!
ABSOLUTE BOWIE
‘Britain’s top Bowie tribute’ – The Times
Saturday 29 Nov
Stockton ARC
‘A lovingly-crafted Bowie show’ – NME
‘Unmissable’ – Mail on Sunday
The ‘Best Bowie Tribute’ winners (UK Agents Association of Great Britain Awards) would like to come and meet you, and they might just blow your mind…
This is an all-killer performance that will leave no Bowie fan feeling left out. It’s hit after hit performed by this world-class five-piece band – Jean Genie to Modern Love, Ziggy Stardust to Suffragette City, Diamond Dogs to Fame to Young Americans and so many more.
