CockRock 2009 - The Holloways!

[angel_shorty51]

CockRock is extremely excited to announce that joining Headliners THE SHALLOW CALL and MAX RAPTOR are this years Saturday headliner THE HOLLOWAYS!

The Holloway’s had an exciting start to life with the critically acclaimed debut - "So This Is Great Britain?” - and 2007 saw the band storm sold out shows across the UK with singles Dance Floor, Generator and Two Left Feet pumping on the radio airwaves.

Now, the energy and the bond in the band has seen the boys enjoy an intense schedule which is already relighting many fires ahead of the release of the new album – No Smoke, No Mirrors – which is due for a September release.

Everyone is massively excited for the summer schedule; the boys will be back on the road gigging the brand new set featuring songs from the forthcoming album alongside the old favourites.

The Holloways join the CockRock 2009 line up following a generous offer of sponsorship from P & R Benn, Cockermouth. Chairman Clint Stamper said “We are very grateful for P & R Benn’s support and are delighted to add The Holloways to an already very exciting line up, I’m sure they will bring a fantastic buzz to the festival. CockRock is all about bringing talented bands and musicians together from the local area and from further a field to give them a platform to showcase their music. We feel that this is natural progression for CockRock and will not only increase the festivals publicity but will also give us new platforms to help further promote all of the other fantastic 125 + bands in the line up”.

***The final of CockRock 2009 Battle of the Bands featuring With Lights Out, ROT, The Relics, Giants of the West and Our Famous Dead will be held this Saturday @ The Globe Hotel, Cockermouth. The winner will go on to support Sunday headliner MAX RAPTOR @ CockRock 2009. Doors open @ 7pm. ***
