Due to the sad news that Dave Hill (Slade) has had a minor stroke, Slade have had to cancel their concert on the 14th August. But ‘the show must go on’ as they say and we have lined up a fantastic 70's and 80's fun filled evening for you.
With The Glitter Band who have sensationally stepped in to give people a stunning Glitter Show and Heroes doing all the punk, new wave, MOD, SKA and guest DJ, Martin Nicholls from PALM FM.

The Glitter Band
The Glitter Band were the musicians who backed Gary Glitter on his hit records under the direction of the late great Mike Leander, and then went on to have a string of international Top 10 hits in their own right, including Angel Face, Goodbye My Love and Let's Get Together Again.
After many years living under the cloud of Gary Glitter's spectacular fall from grace, The Glitter Band are striking out and taking back the songs they performed on and that were the soundtrack to an entire generation.
Those songs will NOT be allowed to disappear into the mists of time because of the actions of one selfish individual. SHOUT IT LOUD AND SHOUT IT PROUD, HEYYYY!

Heroes
Heroes are truly one of the very few bands that can capture the energy and attitude of new wave and turn it into one hell of a good live show! The band is based in south-east Kent and was formed in spring of 2001 by the three members – Tim Bradley – Guitar / backing vocal, Driss Hodson – Bass / Double Bass / lead vocal and Daren Leggatt – Drums / Backing vocal.
Heroes’ gigs are always performed with the passion and energy that accompanied the music of this era. We chose to cover the most popular bands of that period from 1977 – 1983, mainly The Jam, The Clash, The Specials, Madness, The Undertones, Billy Idol, The Police, The Sex Pistols etc. We also include the odd one hit wonder that time forgot such as Swords of 1000 men and Turning Japanese. Since forming we have gained a substantial following and have played hundreds of high energy gigs around the UK including 70s and 80s weekenders at Butlins and Pontins and various scooter rallies and other large live music venues. We try to dress accordingly to the style of music and tend to wear shirt, tie, tonic suits, jam shoes (black/white), and even a pork pie hat for the ska tunes to add an authentic look to the show.
The Ziggiz
They’ll send people into ecstasy with their renditions of classic Bowie, T-Rex, Sweet, ELO and much more.
