Music
Blues Harvest have built up a solid reputation as the go-to party band for geek events, having played their blend of Star Wars parodies and other classic movie songs in comic-cons, space centres and cantinas across the UK. Fronted by comic book illustrator Nick Brokenshire (Star Wars Adventures / Dark Horse / 2000AD / IDW) this geek-rock group have regularly been joined on stage by performers from all areas of the Star Wars franchise. Mark Hamill became a fan of the band in 2017 and declared one of their songs, Tatooine Sunset, as “Magnificent! The lyrics, performance and John Williams’ theme fade-out: PERFECTION.”
