Upcoming events…

Hello, we’ve just got through our first full weekend of events and what  great, busy and varied one it was. Friday we had the very fun and very silly pop tunes of Kulabula who’s highlight for many was there rocky version of Erasure’s “Stop”!  On Saturday we had the fantastic onslaught created by the dueling metal and doom of The Aftermath and Hollow Earth. The Aftermath enjoying their first hometown gig in over 3 years and boy did the crowd make them remember what they were missing here.

The following night we rounded our weekend with Foxes Faux, who managed to squeeze their 7 members onto our stage and provided us with good song and cheer to send us off on a Sunday.

Foxes Faux and their 7 members!

This week we begin with new T’ai Chi lessons starting at 10am on Tuesday mornings. We then are invaded from Cumbria as 3 up and coming bands come play a free gig for us, including the very talent Colt 45. On Saturday we have a Northern Soul Club Night which has got a lot of people very excited, we’ll be all be dancing to some classic tunes til 2am!

We opened last Saturday to a great night of bands, awesome local beer and lot of lovely people! We reached our capacity within 40 minutes of doors opening… so sorry to the people we had to turn away! We’re really excited about this weekend as we have 3 nights. Friday is rock covers act Kulabula and it’s free! Saturday see the return to Keighley of The Aftermath after 3 years away, we follow that with Hazardous: Metal Clubnight, this night looks set to be very busy so we advise buying tickets here. Sunday we have the first night promoted here by Robot V’s Sharks which sees Foxes Faux, Robin Leitch and Jake and the Jellyfish appearing.

Hope to see you this weekend!
