Billy In The Lowground (Rock / Folk Rock / Country Rock)

For a Rolly alternative St. Patricks Day we have Billy In The Lowground - a very tight, rocky band with only the tattered remants of Irish and old timey fiddle tunes hanging out of the back of it (definitely no classicised folky pretty stuff), it's old and tough and dirty and rough.

Graveyard Johnnys (Psychobilly)

A young Welsh trio making a name for themselves on the live circuit. This is hard rockin' rockabilly inspired punk with attitude and aptitude to boot. The classic formula for this stuff is pretty much followed - rattling guitar and chugging double bass with sparse drumming but the Graveyard Johnnys have that something else. There is a freshness about them that bodes well for the future. Look out for these fellas...

The Wizards Of Oz (tribute to Ozzy Osbourne)

Wizards of Oz was formed by Mike Jurgens in 1998 and has played the length and breadth of the country. They are not a Black Sabbath tribute and specialise in Ozzy's solo material. The band is not a lookylikey band by any stretch of the imagination, although they did try and get Mike to agree to a sparkly dressing gown and blond hair-do a la 'The Ultimate Sin' tour, but he was having none of it!! Seriously, though, they go for the music over the image any time. The setlist is positively a win-every-time lucky dip into Ozzy's post-Black Sabbath career, with the emphasis just possibly on the Randy & Jake era's and even the occasional Sabbath song sneaked into the set for good measure! So come on in, get yerself a good spot somewhere down the front and, as the man himself so eloquently puts it... "GO FUCKING CRAZYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!".

The Beatholes (Punk tribute to The Beatles)

Try to imagine what happened if in The Beatles, instead of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, would have played with people like Johnny Rotten or Dee Dee Ramone. We're a peculiar Beatles Tribute band, since our aim is to take the great songs they wrote and rearrange them as they were played by the best rockers of the recent past (The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and many others). All You Need Is Rock! Warning: this band are a PUNK band!
