Outstanding inspired acoustic music and lively heartwarming conversational repertoire, courtesy of two of the North West’s finest, this special event staged as a tribute and fund raiser for MHIST, Bolton’s Mental Health Independent Support Team.

Rowley performs with a belting husky voiced Americana-styled approach to live performance, his songs tinged with country heart and soul. The strength of his live performances brought him acclaim in the late 90’s as North West Songwriter of The Year with his band at Greenbelt. Dave’s wide range of esteemed musical influences range from Thin Lizzy to The Alarm, to The Eagles and the New Country Scene.

Poyzer is a man who lets many outstanding reviews do the talking.

“Where Darren Poyzer appears, unusual things happen and people enjoy themselves ... natural acoustic sound with trademark warmth, firmness and tenderness from his guitar and seemingly effortless projection of the distinctive voice that shares those same qualities ... Darren Poyzer had once again produced an evening that mattered"
