Fri 18th	Badness (A Tribute to Madness) who formed in 1994 and will be playing all your favourite Madness tunes.  Badness have been a market leader in the tribute and Ska scene, with their energetic show and a frontman that never fails to whip the audience into shape.  9pm start
Sat 19th	Obzidian (Metal/Progressive/Rock) Old Nicks welcome back this very talented band from Stafford. Although ultimately aiming to promote their original material, they are versatile enough to play a full set of originals and classic rock/metal covers, introducing audiences gradually to their progressive, groove based metal original songs of powerful vocals, screamingly fast guitar solos and driving, thunderous bass/drum rhythm section.  9pm start
Sat 26th	Jailler (“TRUE” Classic Rock Covers) A classic rock covers band from The Midlands formed in 2010, and made up of ex pro's/semi pro's. They love to play classic rock and cover many different bands and their songs, not always the ‘usual’ ones.  They pride themselves on playing "TRUE" Classic Rock covers, not POP Rock!!  9pm start

Jazz At The Kitty Hall, Voodoo Lounge, Stamford.

Jazz At The Kitty Hall The Concept of Jazz at the Kitty Halls

Recreated at Mama Liz’s Voodoo Lounge in Stamford, where the wonderful Creole and Cajun restaurant will be serving a special selection of Louisiana dishes prior to the show. Due to lack of conventional revenue the operators of dance halls in New Orleans in the '60's found it necessary to place a "Kitty" basket/jar in front of the band stand or to pass a basket in order to pay the band. Mama Liz wish to try and maintain a presence of jazz in the tradition of New Orleans styled music to compliment the cuisine and atmosphere of the venue and anyone is welcome to respond in kind. We hope you enjoy the repertoire of popular songs, rags, marches, spirituals, vaudeville and general joie de vivre of an evening’s music. The band name is "Bill Dickens' Fron-Zi-Me Stompers” which is the phonetic pronunciation of “Francs Amis” after which a dance hall operated in New Orleans ("Francs Amis Hall" – roughly translated “True Friends Hall”). The address was given as 1820, North Robertson Street, Tremé / Lafitte, New Orleans, built in 1861 in one of the oldest neighbourhoods of the city. It is the tradition for many European bands who try and play New Orleans style music to adopt a name synonymous with the city either a street, park or area - in this case a dance hall.
