Check out this great band based in Walsall - THE STRiKE
It was really exciting when we found this band, such a bright and positive sound (perfect for this site!)
THE STRiKE are a fantastic ska band with a great West Midlands - West London band member mix.
What is it about the Midlands/London musical potions that creates great music and bands, we at Cannock Creative don't really know, but we love it!
The band is based in Walsall and they'v been gigging since 2014 and we at CC hope it continues for a good while to come. If you like what you hear in the Youtube video's then you should check them out at Woody's bar in Hednesford on the 22nd of January and if you can't make that date then they are also doing some more gigs there on 30th April, 20th august and the 3rd of December so there's plenty of chances to get down there and see them play.
THE STRiKE are a 5 piece, ambitious NewTone Ska band from the West Midlands and West London.The band's line up was completed in May 2014 and have since gigged with members of The specials, The English Beat and various great upcoming bands too.
They've played and headlined various venues including The Institute and The O2 Academy Birmingham and are quickly generating newly found interest in the ska scene. THE STRiKE have also self released a double A side single WarZone/Dirty Work and have been featured on Specialized 4: Combat Cancer album covering The Clash’s Death or Glory and are hoping to release their first studio album by next year.

Some Cannock musical folk history
Here's our first ever 'proppa' post and what better way to mark the birth of Cannock Creative with some good ole Staffordshire music History,
A big thank you to Keith Bradbury for these photos. Keith was a local passionate folk musician for many years playing all over the country.
Here are some photo's from local musicians including a gig in Liverpool's Penny Lane.
You can check out more of this classic memorabilia at the ' Cannock Chase Folk Music Scene Memories From Late 1950s Onwards' facebook group.
Thanks Keith!
