DATE	BAND
Tues Evenings	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 1st 8.30pm start	Basket Case Case (New Wave/Pop/Punk) Technically known as a four-piece new-wave pop punk cheesy covers band. Basket Case ‘rattle’ out songs like a machine gun on heat, if there’s a world record for songs per hour these boys must hold it, if Basket Case were a sports car, Jeremy Clarkson would be at the wheel. Playing an archive of punk classics from The Ramones, Clash, Ruts, Buzzcocks, Tempole Tudor and many more.  An all round entertaining band. 8.30pm start.  Followed by disco sounds of the 90s til late.
Sat 2nd	Riff Raff (Prehistoric Crunchy Rock) Old Nicks welcome back this brilliant rock covers band, playing covers from AC/DC, early Quo, Wishbone Ash, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd and all that kind of stuff.  9pm start
Fri 8th	Acoustic Night.  Our monthly session (second Friday of each month) featuring Al Hughes (Bluesy Based/Soul/Ragtime) Solo singer, songwriter touring from Scotland. Playing a wide variety of guitars, including a huge sounding, custom built, 12 string resonator. Al's music conjures up a variety of moods, from forceful and raucous to gentle and wistful. Comparisons have been made by more than one reviewer between Al and the late Rory Gallagher's acoustic playing and also to both Chris Smither and Townes Van Zandt, 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 9th	The Almaboobies (Rock/Rock/Rock) Old Nick’s welcomes back this very tight trio who give a great performance, engaging the audience during every song. Playing a mix of originals and covers from artists such as System of the Down, Black Sabbath, Blondie, Green Day and many more.  9pm start
Fri 15th	Karaoke with Malc.  For all you wannabe singers out there and for those that can belt out a number or two.  Malc will have most of your favourite songs that you can sing along to.  Lots of laughs and good ol’ fashion fun.  8.30pm start
Sat 16th	Shiny Happy People (A Tribute to R.E.M.) Shiny Happy People are a UK based R.E.M. tribute band who, like the original band from Athens GA, are a four piece outfit faithfully recreating the songs of Berry, Buck, Mills and Stipe.  This band has a wealth of professional music experience including hundreds of live shows and are without doubt the most authentic sounding R.E.M. tribute band around.  9pm start
Fri 22nd	Ready Steady 60s From Merseybeat to Carnaby Street - Ready Steady 60s ‘beat combo’ bring the sound of the Sixties, playing songs from bands such as The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Tremolos, Manfred Man and many more.  9pm start
Sat 23rd	Dead Dog Howling (Blues Rock) Talented musicians from Lincolnshire playing a mix of blues/rock, full of variety and high energy. Featuring acoustic blues / slide guitar plus the second set featuring heavier blues numbers. Look out for some explosive guitar solos.  9pm start
