Belfast rockers John Shelly and the Creatures stole the show when they supported Dave Geraghty at An Grianán in 2008, this will be their first headline gig in the theatre.
Described as ‘effortlessly monumental’ (AU Magazine), there is ‘no better advertisement for the Belfast scene right now’ (Nialler9) as John, Shelly & The Creatures are ‘one of the most exciting new names - bursting with talent’ (STATE.IE) "Our favourite new band" Rigsy, BBC Across The Line

After the success of their first single Angeline, the band signed to Big Life Music Ltd (Snow Patrol, The Verve, Badly Drawn Boy).
Their single "Long May You Reign" was featured in the Discover Northern Ireland TV, radio and cinema advert campaign. Check it out on their myspace page!
John Shelly and the Creatures formed in February 2007 and are made up of band members Kevin Carlisle (Drums, percussion & vox), Philip Watts d'Alton (guitar, vox, keys, bass, mandolin), Ger Gormley (bass, guitar, mandolin, vox) and Walter (guitar, vox, keys, programming and drums). They are influenced by a wide variety of genres and are unafraid to mix things up when it comes to recording and playing live.
They have spent the last few months in the studio recording their stunning debut album “Dinosaur” which has a release date set for March 5th 2010. With a successful showcase band tour in 2009 all over the Uk, Ireland and Northern Ireland, John Shelly and The Creatures also landed themselves on the bill for the IMRO Show case tour and a performed their own sell out show in Dublin’s legendary venue Whelan’s.
They also won "Best New Irish Act" at the Balcony TV awards in 09 and State Magazine have just recently decalred them as “one to watch for 2010”.
