Saturday 6 July  The DangleberriesThe band, formed in September 2001, has performed throughout Scotland at festivals, pubs and private functions including The Wickerman Festival, the Tartan Heart Festival at Belladrum and Feugh Fest at Banchory. It’s hard to categorize the music of The Dangleberries as they produce a very unique sound and, it has to be said, provide an extremely unique look!! Probably the best way to describe The Dangleberries is Galloway Pipe Rock. Their music comprises of traditional Scottish pipe music, some of our own compositions, and a few covers, including Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”, Paolo Nutini’s “New Shoes” and the Scissor Sisters “Take Your Mama Out”. Given that the band’s influences range from the Rolling Stones to ACDC, produced with a blend of bagpipes, drums and guitars, you can be certain that you’re going to love the end result. You’ll not be able to stop your feet from stompin’, especially with the band’s very own Bez, aka Annie, on the tambourine! From 8pm - 11pm in The Live Lounge (Downstairs Only). Admission £7. Age restriction: Minimum age is 16 - ID may be required. Young Scot Cards accepted. Drinks promos: Jager Bombs £2.50. |
Saturday 13 July  Rockers QuoingROCKERS QUOING - SCOTTISH STATUS QUO TRIBUTE BAND Rockers Quoing is a 4 piece tribute to the music of Status Quo with a unique twist, the lead guitarist is a 14 year old!! Rockers Quoing try to re-create the authentic 70's sound as accurately as possible by adding those little touches that many bands fail to achieve. Now just in our second year together, Rockers Quoing was created to play a "one-off" gig at the annual Status Quo Scottish Convention "McVention" in 2012 But the reaction to the band meant it had to carry on.. Our guitarist "Jay Fitzpatrick" (14) from Paisley, Scotland has been playing since he was 6 years old and is now at a stage where he teaches already accomplished adult guitarists.. he really is THAT good! in his short time he has played major outdoor festivals, with a band of juniors his age won a national battle of the bands final at the O2 in London, performed in musical theater at the SECC in Glasgow and is already an endorsee of Dark Horse Strings, and has even appeared on the 2013 series of "Britain's got talent" as part of his duo "The Elite".. he is a rare and special talent not to be missed. www.jayfitzpatrick.co.uk The rest of Rockers Quoing are (slightly) more mature (in years at least) and all are very accomplished musicians. We have played on stage with Status Quo Bass player John "Rhino" Edwards Played major events from Wales to North of Scotland Gigging extensively all over Scotland and playing in England We recently have been featured on BBC Six Music after arranging a pre show event in Glasgow to celebrate the return of the original Status Quo "Frantic Four" line-up reunion tour filling a top Glasgow venue 2 days running attracting audience from all over the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, Netherlands,Australia and South Africa Rockers' have a much chunkier feel that adds to the overall sound of the band, and gives it that 'Frantic Four' style without the wigs etc. Join the Facebook Event HERE From 8pm - 11pm in The Live Lounge (Downstairs Only).

Friday 20 December  The Complete Stone RosesWith an impressive 14 years spanning career, Glasgow tribute band The Complete Stone Roses have become a well know and much loved tribute act to one of the best indie bands ever to come out of the UK, the stone roses, who in very recent days have decided to reform due to the demand and most probably helped along with the tribute band "keeping the music alive" as quoted by Stone Roses bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield. From the early beginnings of performing with one their heroes (Mani) onstage to the festival stomping appearances of T in the Park, Oxegen and Isle Of Wight to name but a few, to the jet-setting shows in the likes of Sydney Australia, Bahrain & Dubai UAE and Amsterdam Europe to the many music videos released and sold worldwide, this band have proved that tribute bands can be successful in their own right. The Complete Stone Roses have created a fan-base like no other and became a cult band for most fans of indie music. There have been many many highlights of their career but most notable ones excluding those already mentioned would have to be..... *their performance to over 30,000 music fans at the legendary Edinburgh Hogmanay celebrations where they were booked to play a record breaking 3 times, a feat that no other act has achieved either before or now. *A worldwide distribution deal was also secured for the band via their creator and manager for the release of their music videos/single "love will tear us apart" which was produced by legendary New Order/Joy Division bassist and founder member Peter Hook and also featured keys from Inspiral Carpets legend, Clint Boon. *"Tell Me Moses" which was a unique form of songwriting only attempted once previously in the history of music and consisted of using only song titles within the creation of the song itself. *raising an incredible £17,000 (sterling) cash for UK charity, Cancer Research UK by performing one show at Glasgow's o2 Academy (previously known as the Carling Academy). *Performing onstage on 3 occasions with their hero and Stone Roses legend Gary Mani Mounfield. Additionally with countless TV shows on the likes of BBC (UK), RTE (Ireland), NRK (Scandinavia) along with radio appearances, both live and recorded, this is one tribute act who have crossed all boundaries of what specialised cover bands can achieve, you would of course be excused for thinking that there is not much more they can pull off but with a solid management foundation and a committed team of both musicians and crew, the future is just the beginning, with plans for TV documentaries and further bigger & better projects, this band are one that everyone should keep their eyes firmly fixed on and of course catch live because there's nothing quite like a complete stone roses show and as Mani has been famously quoted "the completes play better live than we ever did" although now that the stone roses are back on the scene, maybe this will change. From 8pm - 11pm in The Live Lounge (Downstairs Only). Admission £10 Early Bird tickets available until November 30th, and £12 thereafter, £14 on the door. Age restriction: Minimum age is 16 - ID may be required. Young Scot Cards accepted. Drinks promos: Jager Bombs £2.50. |
