There’s no doubt that this is a group of musicians whose experience, drive, passion and love for Depeche Mode shines through as they relish in recreating a live experience worthy of the boys from Basildon.

Once Upon A Leeds, 1981. The March Violets strum their first riff and scrawl their first set list.

Sabbra Cadabra

Sabbra Cadabra

2 Oct 2026 - 23 Oct 2026

Now they have a few gigs behind them, the word is that Sabbra Cadabra sound as close to the real thing as any band can. They play early ‘Ozzy Era’ Sabbath and they play it with conviction and determination. Mick Child-Cavill cuts a waif-like figure, channelling all his energy in to any one of his Gibson SG guitars; he even resembles Tony Iommi. The rest of the band don’t even try to look like their counterparts, but they will take you back to that crazy place in time where Rock and Blues gave birth to Metal ,and Black Sabbath left their indelible mark on music. Phil Cavill’s distinctive vocals cut through the riffs like Moses parting the Red Sea. The rhythm section of Pat Scott and Phil Gilbert underpin the Cavill Brothers with precision and perfect timing. Changing from doom laden lines, to crazy fills to jazzy runs, often in one song, shows how getting the ‘feel’ for Sabbath demands more than just reproducing the notes and words. Sabbra Cadabra is the culmination of two brothers’ life-long devotion to one band and years of rehearsing to ensure they reproduce that unique sound in its original format. You won’t be disappointed.
The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts

30 Nov 2026 - 14 Dec 2026

For 3 decades The Wildhearts have remained at the forefront of the British rock scene. From their classic debut album ‘Earth Vs’ (voted number one album of the year in Kerrang! back in 1993, and number 20 in the best rock albums of all time in a Kerrang! Special in 2006), through to now with the release of ‘Renaissance Men’, their first full-length studio album in 10 years, their creative output and legendary live shows have been second to none. Although the 90’s saw the band covered like a living soap opera in the press with tales of sex, drugs, bust ups, fights (both with labels and themselves), splits, more drugs and a lot more controversy (one such incident including entering and then proceeding to trash the Kerrang! Offices!), the recent years have seen the band more focused than ever before and firing on all cylinders. The Wildhearts and their incendiary shows have cemented their reputation and legacy as one of the best bands the UK has ever produced. Welcoming back their long-time bandmate and brother Danny McCormack on bass; Ginger and CJ on guitars and vocals, with Ritch Battersby on drums released their new album ‘Renaissance Men’ on May 3rd to critical acclaim.
