Jim Kirkpatrick at the Shroppie

Tonight, music lovers will be treated to a rare appearance of Jim Kirkpatrick & Steve Hayes at the Shroppie Fly. Jim will be joined by Steve Hayes and together they will be performing a number of classic rock, soul and blues tracks in a unique style.

Jim who used to live in Audlem is currently the guitarist with British AOR legends FM and is working on a Rory Gallagher project with Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake) and Dave Levy and Rich Newman from Rory's band.

Steve Hayes has been performing professionally for years and is well known around the area. He currently tours with Nearly Dan, a fantastic Steely Dan tribute band who recently performed at the Glastonbury music festival along with other notable venues such as the Blue Note in Milan and the Echo Arena.

Rarely do you get to witness professional musicians at this level in a small local pub, especially for free. Those wanting a seat are strongly advised to arrive early!

Lester Hunt was originally billed to perform alongside Jim and Steve, but unfortunately Les has had to take a last minute gig overseas.
