DATE	BAND
Tues 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st	Jam & Open Mic Night (Musicians come & join in – ALL genres welcome – backline provided which includes 1 x Drum kit, 1 x bass amp plus 1 x guitar amp), please bring own instruments. 8.30pm start.
Fri 6th	Acoustic Night The third of our monthly session featuring a local young talent, Elliott Morris who has been described as “One of the best young musical talents in the country", "...his talent is so astounding yet effortless”. A singer-songwriter, Elliott taps the strings and beats the guitar's body to create an intricate spectacle, together with an original and unique sound integral to his songs, 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 7th	Still Remains UK (Metal/Rock/Alternative) We look forward to this band’s return to play some of their originals. Their style is very much a cross between the older style metal and newer, fantastic vocals and musicianship.  9pm start
Sun 8th	Horncastle Summer Fair – set up outside at the front of the pub, with a seating area to enjoy a drink of your choice whilst listening to music all afternoon. Starting off with a bit of jamming at 11.45pm where some of our Tuesday night ‘jammers’ will grace the stage area playing some of the favourites and more. Followed by the amazing Dave Simpson Trio playing two sets of Hendrix style blues, outstanding musicianship, starting at 1.30pm.  Collecting for Wish Upon A Star.
Sat 14th	Firegarden (Classic Rock/Progressive/Funk) Old Nicks welcome back this band from Sheffield as it is always a pleasure to see these guys perform.  Firegarden are a band that believe in the expression of emotion in it's purest form: live and rocking! With a multitude of influences, from classic '70's rock to absolutely anything that excites your ears. They sound ‘British’, but not slavishly so. 9pm start
Sat 21st	Swansong (Rock/Blues/Soul) This band with an outstanding female vocalist can boast a very high standard of musicianship. Performing songs from Led Zep to Stevie Ray to Sheryl Crow with a sprinkling of R & B and Soul. 9pm start
