Since their formation in 2001, Freebird have earned a reputation for their performance of classic rock covers, especially, as their name suggests, the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, who feature strongly in the setlist.

The band comprises Matt Howarth on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Barry Buchanan on drums, Derek Wellock on bass and Steve Lawton on lead guitar and backing vocals.

Friday’s audience can expect a wide variety of classic rock covers with Cream, Z Z Top, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Joe Bonamassa and Gary Moore prominent in the set list.

Promoter Dave Mann said: “Freebird are known for their powerful, passionate and authentic performances of rock classics.

“We’re looking forward to another memorable night.”
