October looks set to be a full, fun and unforgettable month on our calendar. Here are the highlights:
We kickstart the month with another visit from the Casino Allstars (2nd Oct) – the debut gig last month was an outstanding success so if you missed that get down for this one if you can.
Then on 4th October we have Cars and Trains rattling in straight in from Portland, Oregon – a wonderful blend of folk and electronica. Support will come from the enchanting Kid 4077 who has lately been causing quite a stir at Blue Mondays…
Comedy returns on Sunday 5th Oct – advance tickets available at the bar (myspace) Been very busy lately so a good idea to get them ahead of the show!
Following on from that we have IN THE CITY – check the ITC page to see who’s playing this year.
Other hotly tipped bands this month include The Words (9th) Answers on Postcards (11th) and Not Ned (17th)
One to definitely try and catch on the 16th are SALFORD SHEIKS – ASSASSINS OF SORROW! (website) The Salford Sheiks is a fizzy combination of good-time Skiffle and bath-tub Blues headed up by CP Lee, founder member of satirical Rock band Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias. Also in the Sheiks is the Albertos’ guitar maestro John Scott, and playing alongside them are Gary ‘National’ Atkinson, Bob ‘Ragin’ Cajun’ Dickinson, Dave ‘Bass Player to the Stars’ Lunt and effervescent pirate Jolly Roger on trumpet. Their blend of swinging harmonies, laugh-out-loud comedy, absurd antics and toe-tapping rhythms brings joy to all who surrender to their sultry sounds.
Trio Valore are coming back on the 20th – their last performance caught on camera and caught in most of our memories as the highlight of the year to date suggests that this will be a night to stencil in your diary – check them out here How do we follow Trio Valore? Well, there’s only one way and that is a night called AREA 51 (30th Oct) the details will be with you shortly and the truth is wafting towards you… be afraid but not too afraid to come.
Regulars please note no Blue Monday on 6th or 20th of Oct due to IN THE CITY and Trio Valore. Blue Monday (Open mic night) still happens every other Monday.
We would also like to announce that drum lessons are now available in the studio – more info here
We look forward to meeting and greeting and entertaining you all!
Love the Blue Cat Gang xxx
