Wed 2nd	Cornerstone (Rock/Powerpop/Indie) Old Nicks welcome back this talented modern rock band all the way from Austria, who have an undercurrent of the 80's in their music.  Austria may be known as the classical music capital of the world, but make no mistake, Cornerstone are here to rock. 9pm start
Sat 5th	Bluestrain (Rhythm & Blues) This very accomplished 4 piece from Lincoln play in the spirit of Muddy Waters featuring great blues harmonica and slide guitar. Also playing the music of John Lee Hooker, Howling Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter etc, music very much for dancing as well as listening to.  9pm start
Fri 11th	Acoustic Night The first of our monthly session featuring the very talented Katie Abbott who describes herself as a folk singer/song writer and who will be performing a mixed set starting at 10pm.  We would also like to invite those who like to have a play and join in or, if they wish, play a few songs solo before our featured guest starts (please bring your own instruments). The idea is to enjoy a nice sedate evening soaking up the easy listening music that acoustic instruments offer.  (no electric). 8pm start
Sat 12th	Izengard (Progressive / Rock) Izengard are a group of very committed, seasoned musicians who between them have performed to audiences of up to 44,000. Some members have worked for artists such as Peter Gabriel and composed music for Channel 4 and Torville & Dean. They are a first class band who always put in 100% to their performance playing a wide range of material from influences such as Genesis, Magnum, Journey to Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne, early Gary Moore and Van Halen etc.  9pm start.
Sat 19th	Unfinished Business (Classic Rock/Blues).  This 5 piece with twin guitars and a big sound will be playing tracks that revolve around blues-influenced rock covers by the likes of Cream, Free and Gary Moore, with a few less obvious twists such as Ten Years After and Lenny Kravitz.  True classic rock / blues from the 60s and 70s.  9pm start
Sat 26th	BlackHawkDown (Heavy Rock) Are a new and exciting UK based five piece heavy rock band. Formed in March 2010 and heavily influenced by rock and metal, each member brings their own distinct style to every BlackHawkDown track and in doing so they have created a style that is truly all their own. They describe their influences as ‘mind melting rock’ in the form of Guns n Roses, Alice In Chains, RATM, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Faith No More, Metallica etc. 9pm start
