Chris Helme is a singer-songwriter, who shot to prominence in the mid-nineties when he was invited to front John Squire's post-Stone Roses band, The Seahorses. An album and several hits followed but, sadly, the band split during the production of the second album.

Helme went on to form The Yards, before untimately pursuing a solo career. The critically acclaimed 'Ashes' was released in 2008, with a follow-up due this summer.

Support comes from Oldham's very own Sandboy, who will play an acoustic set.
