Haze and Tiger Moth Tales

Haze and Tiger Moth Tales

20 Dec 2026 - 20 Dec 2026

Haze Despite building their reputation as a progressive rock band, Haze have always drawn on a wide variety of influences, ranging from pop, rock, folk, and metal to meandering psychedelic jams & tightly structured prog epics. Formed in Sheffield in the late 1970s by brothers Chris & Paul McMahon, they established their reputation as one of the hardest working underground bands of the 80s and have continued to perform regularly ever since, including weekly live-streamed concerts during Lockdown. Their latest studio album, The Water's Edge, was reviewed in Prog magazine: "The result is the best sounding Haze album yet, with the band free to concentrate on playing the music, and the inevitable constraints on studio time also helping to bring out the free-flowing, seat-of-the-pants improvisation which has made Haze one of the best live acts around." It's also their fastest-selling album to date, proving that Haze's legendary reputation is richly deserved. Tiger Moth Tales Tiger Moth Tales is essentially the brain child of Nottinghamshire based musician and writer Peter Jones, who has been involved in the music industry performing around the UK and recording his own material since the late 90s. At fifteen months Pete lost his sight due to Retinoblastoma. From an early age he was into all things musical and at the age of four had his first piano. Peter composed from an early age, usually in the form of improvisations which he would capture on his cassette recorder.

The Rezillos

The Rezillos

15 Oct 2026 - 13 Feb 2027

The Rezillos burst forth upon the rock scene in 1976, having gathered together at Edinburgh College of Art. Through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, The Rezillosfound themselves inadvertently caught up in the Punk or New Wave movement. Their debut single, I Can't Stand My Baby, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on John Peel's radio show. Their classic singles My Baby Does Good Sculptures, Top of the Pops and Destination Venus signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band. Their landmark album of 1978 Can't Stand the Rezillos reached the top 10 in the UK album chart. They appeared twice on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test and hit the Top Twenty with their hit single Top of the Pops, a satirical swipe at the UK pop music show of the same name. Once the band had achieved chart success it was inevitable that they should appear on the same show! They followed up that same year with a live recording, Mission Accomplished... But the Beat Goes On, and promptly broke up to the anguish of fans and music critics alike.

Kid Kapichi

Kid Kapichi

12 Nov 2026 - 20 Nov 2026

It’s Kapee-chee It’s Ben Beetham (guitars, vocals), Eddie Lewis (bass), George Macdonald (drums), and Jack Wilson (vocals, guitars). Four twenty-somethings with big personalities from Hastings who’ve been making music together for over half their lives, in various configurations. Working in pubs, construction, motorcycle trade, anything. Driving nightshifts just to keep playing. Eight years of non-stop graft. “The bands that make it are the ones that don’t give up,” says Eddie. “We’ve sacrificed everything. Normal jobs, settling down, we put our lives completely on hold for our dreams.” And the four have dreamed up something special as Kid Kapichi. A behemoth of a band on and off stage thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, until they got their big break from Frank Carter - he invited them to play his birthday party and then join him on a major tour. Their best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration, and all-consuming love with honesty and humour. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch.

7 Nov 2026 - 26 Mar 2027

The Anti Nowhere League started up in 1980 in Royal Tunbridge Wells. They released their debut single 'Streets of London' b/w 'So What' in 1981. The single reached number 48 in the UK charts and would have probably got higher had it not been seized by the Police's Obscenity Squad due to the profanity-laden b-side. 'So What' has since become the band´s anthem and has been covered by Metallica who play the track regularly to this day in concert. This was followed up by their seminal debut album 'We are...the League' in 1982 on WXYZ Records. This was followed by their 'Live in Yugoslavia' album but the band has split by the end of the 1980's. Since reforming the band have released some incredible albums such as 'The Horse is Dead', 'Out Of Control', 'The Road to Rampton' and more. In 2017 the Anti-Nowhere League have released their latest album ´´League Style ( Loosen Up )' which includes their own unique take on classi Ska & Reggae tunes such as 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket', 'Johnny Too Bad', 'Suzanne Beware of the Devil' and more.

Motörheadache

17 Dec 2026 - 24 Apr 2027

We are please to welcome Motorheadache who are a top class and authentic tribute to the late, great Lemmy Kilmister and his band, Motörhead. Motörheadache is a three piece tribute to Lemmy's musical career with Motörhead from 1975 to 2015. Set up by lifelong Motörhead fan Rob Campbell on Rickenbacker bass and vocals, Rob captures the essence of Lemmy in voice, stage clothes and his grinding mid-range bass sound. As Lemmy Kidderminster, Rob plays a custom built Rickenbastard made my Lemmy's own luthier, which is fitted with the pickups and tuners removed from Lemmy's own Rickenbastard when it was serviced. Rob also has a custom Lemmy 'Murder One' Marshall Super Bass wired to the same specification as Lemmy's and two Marshall 4x15 cabs with 4x12 cabs either side of the stage. The line-up also features Al Leach on guitar and 'Dirty' Dave Nutter on drums with some 'dep' drummers and guitarists to help out with the busy touring schedule. Motörheadache toured the UK extensively in 2016 and embarked on its new UK & European tour on 21st January 2017 with over 60 dates in the diary including large summer festivals such as Hard Rock Hell Road Trip 2017 in Ibiza, Rocker's Reunited Lindos 2017 Festival in Greece and various biker rallys such as Pentrich Rock and Blues, Yorkshire Rock and Bike Festival and Festwich in Manchester. After some showcase gigs in O2 Academy venues in Glasgow, Newcastle and London later in the year as part of the band's The Curse Still Rings True tour, in January 2018 Motörheadache will headline at the Lemmy Dutch Memorial concert in Amsterdam The main body of the Motörheadache's set list comprises a large number of songs from Motörhead's Fast Eddie Clarke era, regarded by many Motörheadbangers as the classic era from 1975 to 1982. Songs include Ace of Spades, Bomber, Overkill, Iron Fist, The Hammer, Damage Case and the thunderous Motörhead - the last song Lemmy wrote for Hawkwind and the one that gave his new band its name. Motörheadache also play material written by Motörhead from 1983 through to 2015. From Brian Robertson's short stint in1983, to the re-launch in 1984 of Motörhead as a four piece with Wurzel and Phil Campbell on guitars and finally, the longstanding Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee era from 1995 to 2015. Songs from this period include Killed by Death, In the Name of Tragedy, Sacrifice, Ramones and Burner. Motörheadache also performs Victory or Die from Motörhead's last studio outing, Bad Magic a song that Lemmy and Motörhead never got the chance to play live in the UK with the cancellation of Motörhead's 2016 UK tour. Motörheadache is proud to help keep alive the music of Motörhead by playing gigs all over the UK and Europe and invites Motörhead fans to celebrate the life and work of a rock icon and legend, Mr Lemmy Kilmister.

Haze and Liaison

Haze and Liaison

20 Dec 2026 - 20 Dec 2026

Haze Despite building their reputation as a progressive rock band, Haze have always drawn on a wide variety of influences, ranging from pop, rock, folk, and metal to meandering psychedelic jams & tightly structured prog epics. Formed in Sheffield in the late 1970s by brothers Chris & Paul McMahon, they established their reputation as one of the hardest working underground bands of the 80s and have continued to perform regularly ever since, including weekly live-streamed concerts during Lockdown. Their latest studio album, The Water's Edge, was reviewed in Prog magazine: "The result is the best sounding Haze album yet, with the band free to concentrate on playing the music, and the inevitable constraints on studio time also helping to bring out the free-flowing, seat-of-the-pants improvisation which has made Haze one of the best live acts around." It's also their fastest-selling album to date, proving that Haze's legendary reputation is richly deserved. Liaison After some early line up changes, the original 3-piece version of Liaison was formed in 1981; with gigs centred around the pubs of north and west London. They subsequently graduated to small rock clubs and colleges and later that year featured as support to the fabled rock band Stray. The 16-date tour of England included their first appearance at Wardour Street's legendary Marquee club. The following years would see the band continue to develop their songwriting skills whilst consistently performing regularly at London's more significant rock venues as well as universities and clubs across the country. Following some record company interest, the band would further develop musically, drafting-in a bass/keyboard player to become what was to be their final 4-piece line up. Being heavily influenced by the likes of Camel and Rush, the band became a natural fit for the burgeoning progressive rock revival of the early 80s. They performed regularly at The Marquee, opening for neo-prog peers such as IQ, Pendragon, Solstice and Twelfth Night, eventually earning a headline of their own in January 1984. They would at this time also be invited to feature on the progressive rock sampler LP Fire In Harmony which was released in 1985. Their strong guitar-based rock origins also saw them become something of a crossover act within the already established New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement. However, despite their popularity among a diverse and loyal fan-base, they suffered the common frustrations with the music industry at the time, and finally split in 1985 in order to pursue other musical projects; giving a final farewell performance at London's original Marquee club on 5th July. During their 5-year career they also supported a number of notable bands including The Nashville Teens, Modern Romance and Marillion.

John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett

John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett

25 Oct 2026 - 28 Feb 2027

This magnetic bond still holds after more than 40 years of attempted escapes and still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the dead pan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. John's lyrical genius and Willy's outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making!) Ever keen to add a new dimension to the show, Willy has a new addition to his array of instruments. Beware the Moose Homp!!. Willy's interest in making instruments began when he commandeered two guitars made by his dad in 1965. One from an old guitar neck and a scaffold plank which became affectionally known as the Les Dawson, and the other branded the Mk1 Schitstik electric slide of similar pedigree. These instruments were used on many of the early tracks, including Really Free and Racing Cars) Willy's remark this will be the last time that many of you will see us together again was often hastily misinterpreted as the final throw of the dice, but the reason given it's not us packing up, it's you lot dying off, you know who you are! is often overlooked by eager scribes. And so the rumours abound. Earlier this year John celebrated his 5,000th gig to a packed house at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who dont know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers.

STONEGARDEN have been performing live as a Grunge tribute act since 2017. Originally a tribute to the dead, but iconic vocalists of the Grunge movement, we were always at the heavier end of the Rock spectrum, but 2024 finds us with a new vocalist, additional guitarist and a new drummer.

As a result, our focus now is on providing an entertaining set of great Grunge and Nineties Alternative Rock music. Songs which you may have forgotten but will instantly remember - and certainly won’t forget. With a huge repertoire of Grunge classics, you’ll hear music from ALICE IN CHAINS, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, SOUNDGARDEN, PEARL JAM, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, AUDIOSLAVE and more. The Smashed In Pumpkins are the world’s number 1 tribute to the Smashing Pumpkins, recreating the swirling and atmospheric anthems from one of the most iconic alternative rock bands.

Mixing all of the fan-favourite hits, with the odd deeper cut to ensure there’s something to please even the most devoted fan - and all performed with pinpoint accuracy and attention to detail.

Overhead and Damanek

Overhead and Damanek

18 Jul 2027 - 18 Jul 2027

DAMANEK is an international progressive rock collective bringing together three acclaimed musicians from the United Kingdom, Australia and Germany. Since its formation in 2016, the band has earned a reputation for sophisticated songwriting, world-class musicianship and ambitious albums that blend progressive rock with jazz fusion, folk, cinematic soundscapes and socially conscious storytelling. Founded by Guy Manning, Sean Timms and Marek Arnold, Damanek was created as a truly collaborative project, combining decades of experience from some of progressive music's most respected bands. Rather than following traditional genre boundaries, Damanek creates expansive, emotionally engaging music where memorable melodies, intricate arrangements and lyrical depth exist in equal measure. The band's debut album On Track (2017) immediately established Damanek as a significant new voice in modern progressive rock, followed by In Flight (2018) and the critically acclaimed Making Shore (2023).

Discharge

Discharge

16 Oct 2026 - 8 Jan 2027

“Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of hell…?”Not only is this the chilling description given of a nuclear detonation during one of the sound-bite samples on the first Discharge album, but it’s also a perfect description of the Stoke, UK-based punk band that turned the world of underground music on its head with their primal bursts of uncompromising speed and aggression. Formed in the late Seventies Discharge changed the face of punk – and indeed extreme music itself – with their stunning ‘Realities Of War’ EP, a four-song outpouring of pure intensity that boiled punk down to its basic components of rage, frustration and violent rebellion. Discharge stumbled upon a sound that was so ugly, it was beautiful; so horrifying, it was irresistible – and it ushered in a whole new wave of gnarlier, nastier UK punk, and ultimately paved the way for hardcore and thrash.

Anthony Gomes

Anthony Gomes

23 Jan 2027 - 9 Feb 2027

With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he’s toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In April 2025, Anthony Gomes is back with his much-anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, set for release on Rat Pak Records. Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he fell in love with music as a kid, listening to everyone from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen. At 14 years old, Anthony gravitated to the guitar and his relationship with the instrument was born. After grinding it out, his chops caught the attention of B.B. King’s bus driver at a jam night. Blown away, the driver introduced him to B.B. who invited him to open up a string of tour dates in 2005. Gaining invaluable knowledge from “The King,” he went on to share the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. Along the way, his concert attendees have included Academy® Award winner Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, and Vince Vaughn as well as Eric Clapton, to name a few.

Black Flag

Black Flag

30 May 2027 - 5 Jun 2027

In many ways, Black Flag was the definitive Los Angeles hardcore punk band. Although their music flirted with heavy metal and experimental noise and jazz more than that of most hardcore bands, they defined the image and the aesthetic. Through their ceaseless touring, the band cultivated the American underground punk scene; every year, Black Flag played in every area of the U.S., influencing countless numbers of bands. Although their recording career was hampered by a draining lawsuit, which was followed by a seemingly endless stream of independently released records, Black Flag was unquestionably one of the most influential American post-punk bands. A full decade and a half before the fusion of punk and metal became popular, Black Flag created a ferocious, edgy, and ironic amalgam of underground aesthetics and gut-pounding metal. Their lyrics alluded to social criticism and a political viewpoint, but it was all conveyed as seething, cynical angst, which was occasionally very funny. Furthermore, Black Flag demonstrated an affection for bohemia -- both in terms of musical experimentation and a fondness for poetry -- that reiterated the band's underground roots and prevented it from becoming nothing but a heavy metal group. And it didn't matter who was in the band -- throughout the years, the lineup changed numerous times -- because the Black Flag name and four-bar logo became punk institutions.
