Was This The Best Drill Hall Gig Ever?
Was This The Best Drill Hall Gig Ever?
Wilco Johnson supported by Virgil and the Accelerators April
21 Lincoln Drill Hall.
What a night we had at the Drill Hall. Wilco Johnson with
sidemen, Norman Watt-Roy (bass) and Dylan Howe (Drums) all on sparkling form.
The sound mix was spot on and the lighting was just what you’ve come to expect
at this venue.The show kicked off the show with a storming set by power rockers Virgil and the Accelerators.
Wilco Johnson stormed through a set including favourites such as Down By The Jetty, Roxette, Sneaking Suspicion and Sam The Sham’s Wooly Bully. There were two encores, firstly an extended version of Chuck Berry’s Bye Bye Johnny and finally Rote Sixty Six.
Could this have been the best Drill Hall Gig Ever?

Here Comes Summer! Some Great Drill Hall Gigs To Look Forward To!!!
Here Comes Summer! There are some great shows coming to Lincoln Drill Hall to get you in the mood!
Now Read On...
Saturday 21 April 8pm
Wilko Johnson
Supported by Virgil & the Accelerators Wilko first made a name for himself when he formed Dr. Feelgood in 1971. Known for their high energy live performances, it was the 1976 live album, Stupidity that was the band’s real breakthrough, reaching No.1 in the official UK album chart. By the time Dr. Feelgood released their fourth album, Sneakin' Suspicion, Johnson had left the group to pursue a solo career, later joining Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
One of music’s true characters, Wilko recently featured in Julien Temple's Oil City Confidential, a full-length feature film documentary about Dr. Feelgood, and has also been seen starring opposite Sean Bean in HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones. Tickets: £17.50 in advance (£20 on the day)
Friday 4 May 8pm
NewJazz 5 presents
Dennis Rollins ‘Velocity’ Trio
Generally acknowledged as the most exciting, entertaining and talented trombonist in Britain today, Dennis honed his skills with the National Youth Jazz Orchestras before joining Courtney Pine’s pioneering ‘Jazz Warriors’.
The ‘Velocity’ Trio places Dennis alongside the funky drumming of Pedro Segundo and the groovy organ of Ross Stanley. A very cool evening! Tickets £14 (£12 concessions / £8 students)
Saturday 5 May 8pm
Kieran Goss
Last seen on the Drill Hall stage in February when he supported Fairport Convention, Kieran Goss has long been hailed as one of Ireland's leading songwriters and performers. But if his songs have made him a star, his live shows have made him a legend. Live on stage is where Kieran Goss really shines. “The sense of fun is tremendous, the playing first rate and the songs are sheer quality. The encores were genuine, but only because the man is too.” The Irish Times Tickets: £12 in advance (£14 on the day)
Thursday 10 May 8pm
The Rat Pack Vegas Spectacular
It’s fun all the way as the ‘Purveyors of Cool’ swing into town with a fabulous show featuring some of the greatest songs of the 20th century, including Come Fly With Me, Under My Skin, Mr Bojangles, Lady Is A Tramp, That's Amore, Mack The Knife and many more. Wonderful memories of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Junior in a spectacular production that continues to be successful all over the world. Outstanding tunes plus endless hanky panky and banter, ensure their timeless soiree remains the hottest party around! Tickets: £20
Saturday 12 May 8pm
Justin Currie In Concert
The Scottish singer/songwriter, most famous for his role as founder member and front man of Del Amitri, is currently working as a successful solo artist. Justin Currie's music is dominated by strong imagery and storytelling, powerful yet understated vocals and a sound that, whilst firmly rooted in nineties pop-rock, translates beautifully into modern, urban ballads. With influences from Nick Cave, Crowded House and Mark Lanegan, his music is hauntingly dark, yet refreshingly uplifting.
Tickets: £20 in advance (£22 on the day)

Tuesday 22 May 7.30pm in the Café Bar Love Me Do - Beatles Night It’s 50 years since the Beatles recorded their first hit record ‘Love Me Do’ in 1962. By early 1964 they had become international stars, leading the British invasion in the USA and forever changing the face of twentieth century contemporary music. Tonight, hosted by the Coffee Bar Cowboys, local musicians pay their own tribute to the ‘Fab Four’ as they play their own versions of Beatles classics that still inspire musicians and fans alike. Musicians wishing to take part should email Keith@bluecrowmusic.co.uk Tickets: £5
Saturday 9 June 7.30pm – 12.30am

So if you love 90s music and ‘wannabe’ dancing to the very best pop from that great decade, then get yourself along to our night of non-stop 90s floor fillers. Over 5 hours we promise you all the Girl Power, Boy Bands, Britpop and Rave anthems you could ever ask for. Don’t forget your glow stick!

Friday 15 June 8pm
New Jazz 5 presents
JTQ – The James Taylor Quartet + Gareth Lockrane
JTQ make a triumphant return to Lincoln following their previous sell-out gigs at the Drill Hall. The bands Hammond organ driven blend of jazz, funk, R&B and swinging beats make them one of the most distinctive and important crossover acts in British live musical history. From their fired-up signature tune ‘The Theme from Starsky and Hutch’ through their many covers of 60s film themes such as ‘Alfie’, ‘Mrs. Robinson’, ‘Blow Up’, and ‘Goldfinger’ to scoring the theme tune to ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’, they constantly produce swinging, high energy live shows that are not to be missed.
Tonight the quartet becomes a quintet as with award winning flautist Gareth Lockrane adding another flavour to the mix. Tickets: £16 (£14 concessions / £8 students)
Saturday 16 June 8pm
The Imagined VillageWe are absolutely thrilled to be hosting one of the UK’s most exciting bands, for what promises to be a wonderful gig. Their powerful music is inspired by Britain’s diverse cultural heritage and the ten members of the Imagined Village including Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy, Jackie Oates and Barney Morse Brown are all giants in their fields, playing in other such as Chase & Status, Afro Celts Sound System, Cornershop, Transglobal Underground, The Bays, Dhol Foundation and Red Snapper… Some of the star Villagers will support themselves in duos and as soloists before the main event.
‘A joyous celebration of English & global culture’ The Times
Please note this is a standing gig. Tickets: £17.50 in advance (£20 on the day)
Wednesday 11 July 8pm in the Room Upstairs
Pennyless
Join one of our most popular Saturday Session bands in our Room Upstairs as they perform a lively acoustic set of sparkling melodies and tunes from Ireland, Scotland, England and America on flute, fiddle and guitar with additional whistle, melodica and motley percussion. Self-penned songs in three part harmony give a glimpse into the very English world of Pennyless who love poetry, trees, birds nests and the moon. Tickets: £5
Friday 13 July 7.30pm
Jazzpac & FLINSO
Jazz Vehicle Youth Jazz Orchestra & Tomorrow’s Warriors Biggish Band
& Lincolnshire school children
Jazz Vehicle is without a doubt one Lincolnshire’s finest musical exports, winning the top award at the National Festival of Music for Youth finals in 2008 and 2010, followed on each occasion, by being invited to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. Tonight as well as hearing this incredible group of young musicians, there’ll be music from Tomorrow’s Warriors Biggish Band and the chance to hear primary school children performing music they’ve been working on with Dune mentors, saxophonist Denys Baptiste and pianist Peter Edwards
Tickets: £10 (£8 concessions / students and accompanied children free)
Renowned for an action-packed, pyrotechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive and well. The set will of course include both Celtic influenced tracks like ”Whisky in the Jar” and “Black Rose” alongside the classic “The Boys are Back in Town” and “Sarah” plus a tribute to Gary Moore who sadly passed away last year.
‘Limehouse Lizzy's Wayne Ellis is an uncanny ringer for Phil Lynott...’ The Guardian
‘If you're sceptical about tribute acts, you won't be after seeing Limehouse Lizzy’ Radio Times
Tickets: £14 in advance (£16 on the day). Please note this is a standing gig
Saturday 21 July 8pm – midnight
