ABOUT

Formed by Blackpool-based musician and life-long live music fan Colin Appleby, Coast Town Events Limited became a registered limited company in August 2017 following four years of establishing a series of live music events across the north west of England. Coast Town Events Limited strive to bring the best of live music acts to the north west of England, from heritage acts such as The Selecter, Roddy 'Radiation' Byers, The Neville Staple Band, Toyah Willcox, The English Beat, Don Letts, Rhoda Dakar and Wishbone Ash through to the UK's top tribute acts including Deeper Purple, Letz Zep, Limehouse Lizzy, Fleetwood Bac and The Amy Winehouse Experience.

From 2016 we developed our previous history of band management with booking and promoting national and international tours for acts on the Coast Town Events roster working with national and international venues, promoters and festival organisers. The global pandemic of 2020 had a heavy impact on the Live Music Industry and we suffered massively as a result over the Covid Years. As with many, alternative employment was required to make ends meet until the chance to return to the industry 4 year later.

2024 saw a change in direction with the move from event promotion with the last Coast Town Ska Weekender in August to a focus of tour and artist management and became our most successful year to date for our acts with UK, Irish, German and Spanish tours successfully delivered. 2025's diary is already full for touring duties for the acts on our roster with bookings now being taken for 2026 and beyond...
