The boys are back in town!
A crowd of over 100 people enjoyed the return visit of the Thin Lizzy tribute band, DIZZY LIZZY, with Barry of FIREHOUSE STUDIO's on sound again. Tonight's show was brilliant, all the classic Lizzy tunes, if you closed your eyes you could believe you were back in time listening to Phil Lynot and the boys at their best
Barry recorded this show and it sounded great, those who didn't come tonight missed a fantastic show by H and the boys. www.dizzy-lizzy.org.uk

JEEPSTER
Appeared at the club on 10/09/05
The T-Rex Tribute Band. Reasonable turnout tonight, just over 80 people. The first set suffered from an inability to hear the vocals properly, for the second set vocals were put through the disco speakers, now they sounded BRILLIANT. Jai as Marc Bolan is amazing and once you could hear him properly he really was the Biz, can't wait to hear the show again on our in house P/A system.

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR
Appeared at the club 03/12/05
Funk/Rock band from Liverpool. Only a small crowd in tonight of approx 60 people. Quite a variety of song types from this band, very difficult to pigeon hole. Lee on vocals does a good job of most types of songs but sounds best when using the power in his vocal chords, those that were here tonight enjoyed what they heard
H [my new pen name]
STATE OF QUO
Appeared at the club 4/02/06
The first one of the year, I was expecting a big turnout for this Gig, not so. Approx 70 people turned up to see a really good Status Quo Tribute band. These lads have been playing the Quo stuff for some time and it shows. Those that were here witnessed the closest thing to Quo there is. A great night to set the year off, just short on numbers. www.stateofquo.com

BRYAN ADAMS EXPERIENCE
Appeared at the club 11/03/06
Well, what an night this turned out to be. a sell out crowd of 170, who danced and sang the whole night away. This band are as good as it gets without going to see BA himself. the room was bouncing from start to finish, as the lads turned out hit after hit. The audience didn't want the night to end, they ended up having to do three encores. An absolute brilliant band night. If you get a chance, go out of your way to see them. We hope to have them back soon. www.thebryanadamsexperience.co.uk

HEART OF GLASS
Appeared at the club 08/04/06
A good crowd of over 100 turned up to see the UK's, No 1 Blondie tribute band. These came highly recommended By Eric Harvey from Soundwave Promotion's and they did not disappoint. A great professional show, the music from the band was excellent. Denise as Debbie Harry is absolutely stunning, with half a dozen costume changes during the show, they never dropped the tempo all night, i don't know where she gets her energy from. The crowd would not let them off the stage even after three encore's. Another brilliant night, enjoyed by all. www.heartofglass.net

THE FESTIVALS EXPERIENCE
Appeared at the club 14/04/06. Good Friday
I was not sure how this night would go. I needn't have worried as a crowd of over 100 turned up. they listened to the sounds from the summer festivals such as Blur, Radiohead, REM, Stereophonic's just to mention a few. A young crowd in to watch this band, they enjoyed themselves . The main singer showed great versatility in his voice, covering a lot of different styles and bands, without fault. These are a very good band and i would recommend them to anyone.
