Live From Jodrell Bank confirms a host of new activity for its Paul Weller headlined show in June.  With a wealth of fantastic acts already confirmed to play in front of the iconic Lovell telescope and beam their projections onto this 76 meter structure, this unique musical happening is a must attend event. 

Internationally acclaimed star Paul Weller headlines the show performing songs from his hit laden career.  A significant figure in British culture, Live From Jodrell Bank is Paul Weller’s only stand alone performance of the summer.  Paul Weller comments “I’m excited to play Jodrell Bank, it’s always good to perform in unique places and this will be the most unique of them all!  It’s going to be a great show in a great space-age setting," 

In keeping with the Modfather’s iconic status a range of mod related activity is announced including a scooter rally that will make its way to the Jodrell Bank observatory and will be a site to behold attracting scooter and music enthusiasts from across the North West and beyond. The rally will assemble at The Waggon & Horses, Manchester Road, nr Congleton and will depart for a drive through the Cheshire countryside enroute to Jodrell Bank. There will also be a scooter parts stall plus a vintage and record market. 

Also confirmed to perform are ‘modchester’ DJ heroes Steve Leggato and Paul ‘JR’ Walker from the Beat Club who will be spinning classic Northern Soul, Mod, Ska, Freakbeat and Psyche. 

Performing on the day will be Graham Coxon who will be playing tracks from his acclaimed new album A + E as well as all the classic tracks from his previous 7 studio albums.  Gomez will run through their intelligent and melodic back catalogue whilst Baxter Dury showcases his expertly constructed psychedelic pop and Little Barrie deliver some undiluted rock n’ roll swagger.  Bad Lieutenant man Jake Evans completes a day of sonic stimulation. 

Having already announced a fascinating programme of science related activity to take place throughout the day, Live From Jodrell Bank are thrilled to confirm that Craig Charles will be appearing for an exclusive Q and A ahead of the airing of the 10th series of Red Dwarf.  This cult show is the definitive British Sci-Fi comedy and one of the most adventurous comedies in TV history.  As the character Lister, Craig was the star of the show and has been an ever present throughout the series.  As well as bringing his acclaimed funk and soul show to Jodrell Bank, Craig will also be giving a Q&A session in the Science Arena with a Jodrell Bank scientist on hand to relate the fiction of sci-fi series Red Dwarf to the facts of space exploration.
