About The Lockup

It's hard to define The Lockup – where do you start??

Frenetic beats, passionate and compelling lyrics, dub, reggae, ska.....it doesn’t stop.

Maybe The Lockup is just unique, offering something original with cross-genre influences.

Hailing from Newbury, the past few years have seen The Lockup play to some of the best crowds across the UK, never failing to get people on their feet and dancing.

With a beautiful mix of four vocalists, two guitars, keys and brass, The Lockup will push you through a mix of emotions via their music but will ensure you have fun while it happens!

The Lockup should come with a health warning:
Caution – danger of enjoyment and dancing!!

Smokey Bastard	Apr 24 2008 4:25 PM Hopefully - Though it may be changing its name... and location... We thought about Rimfest (Reading Independent Music Festival) but i think we're going with Bumfest (Berkshire Unsigned Music Festival) - If it happens it'll be at a new site up in Pangbourne which is pukka for parking and camping. Last weekend in August but none of this is confirmed yet - anyway we'll let you know when we start booking bands if we ever get that far....
