The U-Yellows

 Live at Alsager Music Festival 2026

U-Yellows? Or maybe OooYellows? Anyway, there's still only 3 of us so 3/4s of The Blue Yellows with our Simon still off injured. Get well soon! We're missing our friend, missing his wonderful basslines and missing so many songs where his input is absolutely essential.

Nevertheless we braved it onwards to the fantastic atmosphere at The Alsager Music Festival in the very special vibes of the Sunken Garden.

Thanks to the many who lent us their ears and joined in with some songs, gave us some lovely feedback (of the spoken kind) and bought us a beer. 

We loved it - but we can't wait to be 4 again!

Tunes on a Tuesday

 June 7th, 2026

We headed out on what could be a difficult task, playing to a Tuesday night crowd on a World Cup knock-out night AND  still a man down in terms of our ace-of-bass Simon.

We were all releaved to hear from Em who had seen Simon having picked up speaker stands & mic stands from his place. Em's report being that Simon had just had his stitches out, was in good spirits and about to strim his lawn! So, as a man of very few words on a phone, rarely using it to communicate it at all, any fears we had for him were allayed & I'm sure he will be back with us as soon as he's physically able to play again.

The Glebe & it's folk, both regular and those just passing through, were also up for a really good time & were treating this Tuesday as if were a Friday or Saturday night, a lovely, attentive & up-for-it bunch. 

Having headed home on this sultry night, seen a hedgehog on the way home & after a cool shower & a wet walk under the half-moonlit sky, it's already a wonderful stained-glass memory.

Tim Lee opened for us, wowing the 
audience with a set of his lovely songs 

We met the feisty and funny Liz Vincent, 
a big name around here in the DJing world 
back when it was even harder to make waves as a woman in music.
