heard on BBC Radio 1, Radio X, Made in Chelsea, Sky Sports. Seen live on Soccer AM. Featuring dual-lead vocalists Freddie Schmuck (guitar) and Adam Lodge (bass), along with Sam Dowling (lead guitar) and Perrie Bunton (drums), THE FEENS hail from the seaside town of Scarborough. Following the release of their standout single ‘What Are You Dreaming?’, the quartet continue to gain champions and fans alike including notable support and plays from BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart, as well as huge local support from BBC Radio York’s Jericho Keys. In addition, the track clocked up more national radio success via John Kennedy and ex-Maccabee Felix White on Radio X. The station continued their support of ‘WAYD?’ by adding it to their evening playlist on which the single remained for 2 weeks. After a run of impressive shows that included supporting the likes of Inhaler, as well as a debut appearance at YNOT? Festival, the band continues to hone their live performance.
Me have built a reputation of being one of the UK's best cover bands you will ever see! Big Me are a rock solid, five piece band with a modern twist that is not to be missed! Big Me's ability to cover a vast range of music genres is what makes them unique. With a mix of Rock, Rap and Classics - from Eminem to Guns N Roses, Coldplay to Bob Marley, U2 to Prince and pretty much everything else in-between!
Box formed in 1982 with a line-up comprising Simon Toulson-Clark (vocals/guitar), Julian Close (saxophone), Martin Nickson (drums), Rob Legge (bass), Paddy Talbot (keyboards). The group enjoyed success with the independently issued ‘Chenko’ and subsequently signed to WEA Records. This coincided with a reduction in the line-up, from which Clark and Close emerged as a duo. In the summer of 1985, they enjoyed a UK Top 3 hit with ‘Lean On Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)’. Its Top 10 success was repeated the following year with ‘For America’. Red Box were one of Alan Crawfords favourite bands, so what better way to pay tribute to him than have them play at his own festival. Red Box will be performing an unplugged acoustic set at Crawfest.
House We Built set to headline Friday night at Crawfest 2022! A new band with an amazing first single, Fair Weather Friend. Definitely worth a view on youtube. This band are going to be a massive success in the future.
Alt rock band from Scarborough. Having gained airplay on BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio and a sold out support slot for Pennine Suite, big things are on the horizon for 2022. Recent collaborations with Young Thugs Studio in York mark the upcoming release of their debut single ‘Amsterdam’ out now.“The intensity of their sound is certainly impressive, firing a really compelling and emotive style, we think it will earn a big audience.”
DANNY MCMAHON
Mcmahon is a commercial singer-songwriter and owner of Puzzle Maker Studios in Bristol, UK. He has a passion and talent for creating compelling and meaningful lyrics accompanied with beautiful vocal harmonies and powerful melodies that make his song writing something special.Previously Danny has toured Europe as a leading vocalist and Guitarist and played at a number of large British venues including Bristol Colston Hall, Camden Roundhouse and Glastonbury festival. Danny has also worked for Paramount songwriting as a commercial songwriter. His passion for Country music began upon introduction to the famous Brad Paisley song ‘Letter to me’. He said he connected with the songs’ realness and authenticity. As he became increasingly fixed upon the way country music uses emotive lyrics and shows such a great level of relatability, Danny thought he’d give writing country music a go, little did he know that he actually had quite a talent for it. This fuelled the beginning of Danny’s pursuit of the country music business.He now wants to use his talent for songwriting to reach people through his music and is currently recording his first EP which has been written, recorded and produced by Danny himself at Puzzle Maker Studios.
BREEZE
out of the starting blocks, BREEZE are a brand new indie rock four-piece hailing from Hull. It goes without saying that indie rock from the north is head hard to measure up to, but before their first single is even out, BREEZE are already turning heads across their native East Yorkshire. Both for their own brand of explosive indie rock, and for the impressive fact the average age of the band is just 17!

"Rocketsmith role out feel good-rock forged in friendship."
When you consider that Rocketsmith’s roots trace back to the rural town of Pickering – which, per head, probably has one of the most vibrant music scenes in the UK – the formation of a band of this ilk makes perfect sense. In a place where there’s little else to do other than go to the pub, play music and be in bands (in this case, all three!), they embody the very nature of reet-good rock’n’roll. A fact that is reflected in the title of the EP ‘Balancing Act‘, which nods to balancing their hectic work lives with their desire to perform.
Collectively they are consummate performers both live and in the studio but strip away the rock’n’roll and you’ll find that Andy is a farmer, Mark’s internet marketer, Anth is a tiler, Matt is a session musician, traveler and Paul builds trucks. Between them, they’ve played in countless bands over the years, but have always known of their desire to step out of the shadows of the cover and tribute scene with their own original material. A family friendly bunch, led with the track ‘Give Love‘, which stands as a resounding proclamation of all people really need to give to one another – Be it a smile, a laugh, a hug or any simple gesture that can change someone’s life for the better.
Drunk 'N' Funk will be mixing tracks after the live music stops
food and drink stalls booked for crawfest 2022
why support crawfest
Crawfest 2022 will be held over two days this year on Friday the 22nd and Saturday the 23rd of July. The festival will be a much bigger than in 2021, with a full set list of live music on both days with 18 bands booked to perform on a much bigger stage.
There will be various food stands serving all sorts of food, and most importantly, a fantastic bar selling a wide range of craft beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks.
Over the two days there will be stuff to keep the kids entertained, because happy kids means happy parents! We will have a cinema tent showing films throughout the day, a hay bale tent to build towers and make dens, face painting, kids inflatables, and a kids craft tent with pottery and mural painting.
We have a camping field on site for tents and small camper vans next door to the event field, so its only a very short walk back to your tent, allowing you to really make the most of Crawfest, without having to worry about getting home at the end of the night.
