Wirral’s dynamic events promoters Events 471 are set to light up Future Yard with three incredible blues-inspired nights! Local legends Xander & The Peace Pirates, Jules Holland favourite Toby Lee and a double-header featuring Liz Jones & Broken Windows and Leanne Brumfitt & Full Band are all set to be huge shows at the Birkenhead venue!
Toby Lee: Thurs 7th Aug
Huge booking! A showcase of fingerstyle guitar and soulful vocals, this performance by teenage blues virtuoso Toby Lee has earned praise in the highest places — Jools Holland calls him “out of this world” and he’s a three-time UK Young Blues Artist of the Year! Toby Lee is the real deal — a mind-blowing guitarist with a voice to match.
His music exudes a class and sophistication far beyond his years and his résumé is nothing short of remarkable. Entirely self-taught, Toby has appeared on major TV shows around the world, wowed audiences in London’s West End — earning an Olivier Award — and he’s shared the stage with Slash, Joe Bonamassa and other legends. Support from the supremely talented 471 Records artists Liz Owen and Bread Hotel!

Blues & Country Double Headline Show: Thurs 9th Oct
An inspired genre-blend featuring Liz Jones & Broken Windows (a six-piece roots-rock outfit fronted by a charismatic vocalist “with a voice to wake the dead”) alongside Cheshire’s own rising country performer Leanne Brumfitt & Full Band. Together, they’ll deliver a heartfelt collision of blues, country, and storytelling — all in one electric evening.
Fronted by the magnetic Liz Jones — a vocalist “with a voice to wake the dead” — Broken Windows delivers layered, dynamic performances brimming with attitude, soul, and originality. Meanwhile, Cheshire-based country artist Leanne Brumfitt has quickly carved out her space in the UK country scene — with a series of acclaimed singles!
