Shotglass performed before a large audience last year at the Blackpool Jazz and Blues Festival at The Winter Gardens. Promoter Dave Mann said: "Shotglass are a versatile band of experienced musicians dedicated to performing powerful, passionate and rousing performances of rock classics. They made a big impression at their last gig and have a growing following in Fleetwood. It promises to be another memorable night for the town’s rock fans.” “We always enjoy coming back to Fleetwood,” said bass guitarist Ray Schofield, "we performed in public for the first time here and the lads think of it as their home gig.”
