El Pussycat
£7
plus The Drugstore Cowboys
www.elpussycat.co.uk
El Pussycat are on longer young boys blasting out 100 mph ska. “You're just too fast, too loud, too loud!!" said the godfather of ska Laurel Aitken. These days they keep their sound, which goes back to the 50’s roots of bluebeat and ska, relaxed and rock steady. Their post Christmas show with Kingsize was our most sold out show ever so be sure to book early, whilst we get the foundations reinforced!

Black Diamond Heavies
£6
plus Bohannons and The Jack Of Hearts Band
www.blackdiamondheavies.com
Hotter than Dracula in an Arizona goth club with broken air conditioning, the tandem of organist and crooner John Wesley Myers and crazy-ass drummer Van Campbell spew fire- and brimstone-laced blues and blues rock that oozes soul. More specifically, it sounds like Tom Waits, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker taking hard swigs from a jug of moonshine in the middle of a Baptist church. So break out the whiskey and sunglasses, kids, and enjoy the show. |

Cosmic Charlies (Grateful Dead Tribute)
£5door
plus Morning Session
www.cosmiccharlies.co.uk
“Wisely eschewing the tendency to step into character the Cosmic Charlies let the music do the talking: they're a tribute band in the true sense of the word, not a doppelganger outfit. That means you don't get note perfect renditions of songs like Scarlet Begonias, Sugaree or Terrapin Station, but you do get a splendid approximation of a Dead-like musical journey complete with spacy improvisations that, eyes closed, are amazingly convincing.” - Record Collector. |

Chris Helme (ex Seahorses)
5adv
plus Calder
Chris Helme first appeared fronting John Squire’s post Stone Roses project, The Seahorses. After the Seahorses folded in 1999, Chris took time out to ‘sleep, write and start a family’, before returning in 2002 with The Yards, whose second album is due for release this year. Looking forward to playing in front of an audience again after a year in the studio, this is a great chance to see Chris at his best… live and in person. |
