"So please join us on Saturday February 10 at Macoustic Music!

"Headlining we have festival favourite Chris Helme coming back to Macc. Chris is the frontman of The Seahorses. The 1990s band formed by Stone Roses' guitarist John Squire, who released their sole and UK No. 1 album in 1997 to an outpouring of adoration from fans at home and around the world, and defined a moment in time for hundreds of thousands of people. Chris Helme blew everyone away at 2023 Pews so we cant wait to have him perform at Cinemac."

"For the first time in Macc we have Ruby J. Hailing from the mighty Midlands RUBY J fuses multiple genres with her own unique style think Amy Winehouse, meets Dolly Parton! Famous fans include Paloma Faith.

"Next up, we have Harri Larkin a DIY Alternative band from Sheffield. The collective consists of Cornish singer- Songwriter Harri Tape, drummer Danton Laromani and bassist Oscar South. The band were chosen by John Kennedy (Radio X) as winners of the 2023 Tramlines Apply to play competition, winning slots at multiple major UK festivals including a headline slot on Tramlines BBC introducing curated "Library stage". Although loosely labeled 'Alternative' Harri Larkin blends elements of Funk, Indie, Jazz, Pop & Punk combining huge grooves and catchy choruses.
