In keeping with Rathole Radio itself the line up is eclectic but carefully selected, with an emphasis on local talent this time. We have:

The Corinthians – A Liverpool rap group who’ve christened their unique style “Scouse dub hop”. Blending elements of dub and reggae with the skills of some great MCs. They’ve supported Sugar Hill Gang, Ugly Duckling and the Jungle Brothers to name just a few, they know how to put on a show.

P’Chenga – Expanding on the reggae vibe these guys fuse ska and rock with energy and feeling. They also bring a live brass section to the party and their infectious grooves will get you moving your feet.

20lb Sounds – Making their third appearance at the roadshow are local rockers 20lb Sounds. No hint of bias in the fact that lead singer Dan Lynch also presents Rathole Radio *ahem*. On a serious note though these guys have been gigging around Liverpool a lot in the last year and building up a reputation for great melodies.

Thom Morecroft – Thom is a singer-songwriter who’s originally from Shrewsbury but now studies in Liverpool. The power and purity of his voice have to be heard to be believed and Dan is not the only one to notice it. Thom was recently featured at length on BBC Radio Merseyside’s Folkscene program and the future looks very bright.
