One of Macclesfield's most-famous rockers has had his first confirmed show of 2023.
Guitarist Phil Cunningham - who is a member of both New Order and Sea Fever - will be performing with the latter a Macclesfield music festival.
Raised in Sutton and a pupil of Henbury High School, the 46-year-old rockstar lives in East Macclesfield with his wife, daughter and two-step kids.
He'll be bringing his four bandmates from Sea Fever to Christ Church for Party in the Pews 2023.
Sea Fever will take to the stage on Saturday May 27, just hours before headliner Badly Drawn Boy.
The alternative music festival will raise funds to turn Christ Church into a permanent venue.
The Bridge Street place of worship has already had huge names perform there like Peter Hook and Buzzcocks.
Party in the Pews 2023 will also see other performers like Sunderland guitar heroes The Futureheads and Mark Radcliffe's new band named UNE.
Phil Cunningham's new band Sea Fever release the acclaimed-album Folding Lines in 2021, predominantly recorded in Wilmslow.
