Callum & The Pookies are an electrifying Telford-based pop-rock band formed in 2024, fronted by Callum Doignie, a finalist on The Voice UK 2023 who has shared the stage with Sir Tom Jones.

‘Live Again’ is the sound of a band settling into their skin. The six-piece has a gift for songs that feel immediately familiar without being derivative, big-hearted pop-rock with a six-piece grin, country-rock flashes and hooks that keep it personal and leave you refreshed. Callum’s voice is the centrepiece, warm and effortlessly emotive, and the band build around it with a generosity that makes ‘Live Again’ feel genuinely uplifting rather than merely cheerful.

This is a band built for big stages, and ‘Live Again’ sounds like the moment they started believing it.
