# Event Details - **Event Name**: SUMMER SATURDAY: COALTRAIN - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: COALTRAIN is a 5-piece band of seasoned musicians, whose history is built on decades of playing in every aspect of the Leeds music scene. Their mix of rockabilly, country and blues music is a sound showcase of their skills. .... DAVE VERMOND (gtr / vocals). A talented singer-songwriter who has been a folk scene regular at The Grove back in the day, and also frontman for The Upsiders and The Recidivists, both well-known and respected bands. Dave’s versatile skills as a performer is one of Coaltrain’s greatest assets. He continues to perform sporadically as a solo artist, and flies under the radar as brilliantly as ever. JOHNNY HARDCASTLE (lead gtr / slide guitars) One of the most talented and respected guitarists of the West Yorkshire music scene, Johnny has been a vital part of Preacher’s Dream, The Charlie Speed Band, The King Ivory Band and Blonde On Bob, among many others. He has a wealth of experience, and is as keen and dedicated to his craft as he’s always been. A master of styles and expression, he has earned a legendary status as the man who embodies “Have Guitar, Will Travel.” CHRIS SWINDELLS (bass / vocals) Chris has spent his musical life, from his teenage years onward, playing in a host of Leeds’ finest bands – ever the consumate bassist, he has anchored and steered Way Out West, Ten Legged Friend, Bayou Gumbo, Wang Dang Doodle and many others. He is a fine vocalist, and his team spirit and musical prowess are all a vital part of his performances with Coaltrain. ANDY THORNTON (Drums / percussion) Andy has been the go-to drummer for many bands over the past decades. His enthusiasm, technical know how and versatility are all hallmarks of Andy’s reputation. Coaltrain are lucky to have him. Andy is also a leading light of the Grassington Festival, where his backstage miracle-working and sheer graft are highly prized. SI HOLMES (tenor sax / vocals) Si Holmes is a founder member of Coaltrain, and his sax playing and judgement have proved to be invaluable. As a member of the Woodside Big Band, and formerly Des The Miner, his awareness and talent are hallmarks of his work through the local jazz world and beyond. As a soloist and colourist, Si Holmes rides the rails and knows the track. In a world of tribute and imitation bands, Coaltrain, who are all old enough to have seen the real thing, build their set around the Not So Blindingly Obvious Covers – by Fogerty, Dylan, Carl Perkins, The Band for instance – but Coaltrain deliver the songs these artists gave us that you will know, but rarely hear performed live. Couple up one or two old rockabilly treasures, and a brace of Dave Vermond’s songs from his large treasury, add an audience and Coaltrain is ready to roll.
