Ok folks this is gettin a bit off topic, so some of you dont think this is to help local music that is fair enough, but all the members of the band are long time dedicated members of the scene and this is just another way for them to show case there talent and enjoy them selves and give you lot enjoyment (i Hope) So why not just come along and check it out before you judge them please. This is not about making money or coining everyone ill be happy if i just cover my costs, mainly i want people to see the venue for what it is trying to be, a new venue on the scene that just wants people to have a good time (if i wanted to be rich i would invest the grand this is costing me on lottery tickets).

Long live music

Because if it's a success, it might encourage the venue to put on local acts - after all, tribute acts are a good way of seeing if your venue is up to scratch in the first place. If you can't attract people to a tribute night, then you know that you're probably wasting your time doing local acts.

I dare say (as well) that if the gig is busy, then it might encourage them to put on touring bands too - after all, who knows?
