With THE DAQUIRIS

Albany Down can be counted on for pleasure and honest to goodness fun. Here is what ADPONTES had to say about this great band last time they came into town:

The sound of Albany Down is stripped-down-to-the-waist no nonsense rhythm and blues 70’s inspired Brit rock ( the feel of early ‘Free‘ or ‘John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers‘) but with a bit of jazz-funk to mix it up a little…very fine and accomplished performance…insistent guitar hooks, stripped down licks and rattling good-time rock…

Classic Soul Sounds - Live at Ascot

Soul Disciples at Ascot

Soul Disciples
Mar 21 2009
Jagz
Ascot

West London’s Soul Disciples came together late in 2005 with the express wish of bringing the classic soul sounds of the 60’s & 70’s to the dance floors of Britain.

Dismayed at the disservice these great tunes are being paid by many covers bands, we have resolved to make our interpretations as faithful to
the spirit of the originals as possible.

The soulful voice of Miss Clare “Bubbles” Moloney combined with the authentic soul sound of the SD band has to be witnessed to be believed.

The Soul Disciples constantly strive to instill their performances with the spirit and skill which made soul music of the 60’s & 70’s so exciting.

The SD’s have found themselves in the enviable position of having an 8-piece line-up which combines experience, virtuosity, personality & good looks …
All wrapped up with a shared love of Classic Motown, Atlantic, Stax & Northern Soul.

Saturday, 21st March
Show will start at 8.45
Ticket cost: £8.00
Doors open from 7.30pm. £26 for 2 courses and entrance (£30 for 3 courses). Entrance for the bands is £8 but is strictly

limited and on a first come first served basis. Entrance for dining or just the band INCLUDES free entrance to the nightclub

Rough Justice at O’Neills, Woking, Saturday Apr 5th 2008 9PM

…- Berkshire Live Aid – Asian Tsunami Relief Concert -

“One of the highlights of the marathon 10 hour concert was Rough Justice. Very much the elder statesmen of the event, their

performance of half a dozen classic rock songs captivated the young crowd and showed them how it should be done.”

Kate Michaels – The Slough informer

- Back Street Heroes Magazine -

“I thought the days of pub rock were well and truly over, how wrong I was! I can safely say that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I saw Rough Justice back in 1998 when they headlined at one of the Celtic Warriors Bikers Rallies where they
performed to a crowd of over 2000, back then they were great. You know what? They still are! They definitely moved with the times, expect numbers from Franz Ferdinand, U2 & the Kings of Leon as well as classics from Queen, The Who & AC/DC. Hog (lead singer) & Caesar (guitar) the original members, have brought in an excellent guitarist (Mike Stoner) & top drummer (known as the Mighty Mammal).They’re bigger & better than ever! “
