Star-Wars themed band Blues Harvest are set to perform at The Brickyard later this month.

Blues Harvest are a pop culture party band who have been delighting audiences at comic-cons, space centres and cantinas across the galaxy for over a decade.

Organisers Dev Bro Promotions want to turn this gig into the ultimate geek night out and cosplay is encouraged, with a competition held on the night with the winners picked by Blues Harvest receiving a cash prize of £100.

Adapting their name from ‘Blue Harvest’ (the fake working title used to hide the 1982 production of Return of the Jedi) the band first performed their blend of geek culture with movie themes and popular hits to an audience of Star Wars fans and celebrities at a convention in 2013, and since then have built up a most impressive reputation as the go-to party band for geek events.

The UK based six-piece consists of Darth Paul (vocals & percussion), Lapti Nik (guitar & vocals), Ad Bane (guitar & backing vocals), Androo-Detoo (keyboards & backing vocals), Bass Windu (bass guitar) and Andylorian (drums & backing vocals).

This talented six-piece fuse geek culture, nostalgia and energetic performances at their memorable live shows, blending their musical influences with fandom culture to result in an uplifting set of timeless movie bangers, movie and TV soundtracks, 70s awesome mixtape highlights and plenty of surprises along the way!

They will perform at The Brickyard in Carlisle on Saturday August 31, with tickets available online for £12.50.
