Previously Appearing at Wickham was...
The New Cranes
In the heady days of the early Nineties, it was hard to find a band with a better live reputation than The Newcranes. Energetic and inspiring, their intoxicating mix of Slavonic-tinged thrash-folk-punk thrilled audiences across Europe and fans still speak of incendiary shows and no-compromise recordings. Tasting chart success as label mates with The Levellers, supporting Bob Dylan, tours with Saw Doctors, Stiff Little Fingers and The Mission. Headlining Camden Palace with Skunk Anansie supporting them and then… silence. For years, the legend has grown, the stories have spread, and the clamour for a comeback has grown. Finally, after 25 years, a new chapter has begun.

Help raise £5000 to Help save The Palladium Club

Weʼre raising money to Help save The Palladium Club. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.We’re heartbroken to say that we have to postpone our forthcoming tour. We were so looking forward to what would have been our first tour in 25 years and playing some new songs for you all. We don’t have an agent so every bit of the tour including the supports were put together by us. It takes a hell of a lot of work and we really didn’t want it to come to this. But everyone’s health comes first and it was far better for us to take this decision now than to let you all down at the last minute. On the bright side, we’re going to spend the time recording and once everything calms down we’ll try and get everything rescheduled.
We want to say thank you to all the venues and promoters who have been very understanding despite facing some really hard times themselves. We also want to thank all the support acts and we suggest you go download their material and buy their merchandise. There’s a real risk that venues and artist we love might not make it through this so please support them in any way you can.
We’ll see you at the festivals in summer hopefully!
A hard but responsible decision to make. Looking forward to the next chance.
Totally understand but gutted for you all the same. How about a live feed gig behind closed doors? Keep safe and we’ll see you on the other side 🤘
Really sorry to hear this but I’m sure you’ll be back on the circuit when all settles and we will come then instead. Take care In the meantime x x
Sorry to hear this. At this point in time, are you still doing the Acoustic Festival at Uttoxeter please?
Completely understand..get that recording done. Stay safe.
Sending positive waves!!! Keep in touch and let us know what you are up to! Xxxx
Sorry Mark. I was always the booking agent for my bands too, back in the day when you had to send demo tapes, call a club rep etc. It’s hard work and time consuming. Best of luck lads.
So is there gonna be a come-back tour for the come-back tour? 🤔
Will sort out a new Derby date whenever you’re ready lads. Take care and stay healthy
So glad I got to see you guys at Derby Winter Ale Festival, you were brilliant and I now know to watch out for updates. Good luck and hope to be at another gig in the summer x
Bad Luck !...but I think what they'll have another chances! Not suffer for that!.For my way ,no problem.I buyed in the music store one C.D.Allways look on the bright side oficina the life .See you in Summer's festival.
As many of you know, the grassroots of the festival scene are going to struggle greatly this year. As are small venues. If you are in a position to help, please do! We all need these people to survive so we have a scene to return to once everything has got back to "normality".
