Rocketsmith Live at The Boot & Shoe

Voted the Pub of the week by the Lancashire Telegraph

Friday 22nd May, we are throwing open the doors for a free live rock night with the brilliant Rocketsmith, all in support of Rossendale Radio — the volunteer-led station that's become the genuine voice of the valley.

Who are Rocketsmith?

These lads have been busy. Rocketsmith have:

Recently hit No.1 on the iTunes Rock Chart
Supported Bryan Adams on tour
Been featured on the Leeds United home match day playlist

Translation: this is a proper, full live rock set from a band that's clearly going somewhere big —and you can catch them in your local pub for nowt. Honestly, the kind of evening you'll be smug about for years (“yeah, I saw them at The Boot & Shoe before they were huge”).

Why we're putting this on for Rossendale Radio

If you've not tuned in, Rossendale Radio (104.7 FM) is a volunteer-led station that champions local businesses (us included), keeps the valley entertained, and genuinely cares about the people who live here. They've had our back time and time again, so we're chuffed to do something to give back.

This fundraiser is all about helping keep them on air so they can carry on doing what they do for the community. Entry is completely free, but we'll be inviting donations on the night — give what you can, every bit makes a difference.

Everything you need to know

Date: Friday 22nd May 2026
Time: 8pm till late
Where: The Boot & Shoe, Waterfoot
Entry: Free — donations welcome on the night
In aid of: Rossendale Radio (104.7 FM)

How to make sure you don't miss it

Word's already getting round, so come early if you want a good spot. Call us to book a table for some food beforehand, then you're ready for the night.

See you on the 22nd - the more, the merrier.
