Sabbra Cadabra are the only tribute to have performed for Black Sabbath and were invited to play for Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler at the Black Sabbath bridge naming ceremony in June 2019. Sabbra Cadabra are also continuing to work with Jim Simpson, Black Sabbath’s original manager, on various anniversary gigs during 2020. Jim Simpson recently quoted: “The finest of the Black Sabbath tribute bands, Sabbra Cadabra…were magnificent. As Black Sabbath’s original manager, I can vouch for their uncannily authentic performance, taking me right back.' The band play a selection of material from right across The Sabs career with the main focus on the glory days of the early to mid 70s including the song they took their name from.

Ryan Hamilton & The Harlequin Ghosts - from Dallas Texas the rising star of Power Pop/Americana
Ryan Hamilton is a native of Dallas Texas and combines Americana with Power Pop to create an almost unique sound. He’s over in the UK to play the Sudbury Festival and is only playing one other gig on this trip. HERE at The Northcourt. Think Fountains of Wayne or Ginger & The Wildhearts with a little dash of Tom Petty and you have an approximation. In fact The Wildhearts took Ryan on tour with them not long before Covid and he has also toured the UK with Terrorvision & The Alarm and as a result is cowriting material with Ginger Wildheart & Tony Wright from Terrorvision. He was signed by the legend that is Steven Van Zandt (Little Steven of E Street Band) & his new album “1221” just came out via that label.

AC/DC UK - Superb AC/DC tribute return!
Part of the reason AC/DC UK are able to make such a massive claim is that band can justifiably claim to have more connections to the real band than any other tribute. They formerly had the son of Stevie Young (Malcolm's replacement on rhythm guitar) playing in the band. They've played right across Europe and the Middle East at the most prestigious gigs and festivals. These guys can deliver all the hits from both the Bon Scott era and Brian Johnson era everything from High Voltage to Rock or Bust with gusto.

Landmarq & ESP Project - Two outstanding melodic rock bands
Landmarq is one of the best kept secrets in British rock music. This outstanding band formed in 1990 and now has 10 albums behind them. Their work deserves far greater recognition, something clearly some big names also think since they have worked with Marillion, Focus, Steve Hackett (Genesis), John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson, Roxy Music) Nik Turner (Hawkwind), IQ, Pendragon, & the great Suzi Quatro to name only a handful. We had the real pleasure of having them perform at Prog For Peart in August 2021 and immediately invited them to return.
ESP Project is the brainchild of Tony Lowe & Peter Coyle, two of the UK's most highly regarded musicians/composers who are called in to work with the absolute best. Tony has worked with Roger Daltrey, Pet Shop Boys, Phil Ramone, Toyah Wilcox, Mike Peters (The Alarm), Peter Banks (Genesis), Geoff Downes (Asia, Yes) & far too many more to mention and worked on over 180 albums.
Peter was a founder member of The Lotus Eaters & had a worldwide hit immediately with their first single First Pictures of You & in between that band's on and off career he has also worked with some of the biggest names in the business inc Toyah, The Lightning Seeds, Space’s David Yorkie Palmer, OMD’s Mal Holmes, Martyn Ware (Heaven 17) Steve Power (Robbie Williams, Julian Cope) Ronnie Stone (The Pixies) & literally dozens more.
ESP Project has released five albums since 2016 all receiving 5 star and 4.5 star ratings. A sixth is due for launch this Spring demonstrating that this song writing partnership is a match made in heaven.

Molly Karloff, Suicide Notes & Das Ghoul - Three of Oxford's top original rock outfits
NEW DATE TO BE CONFIRMED ASAP
Molly Karloff, Suicide Notes & Das Ghoul triple header. Three of Oxford's best original rock bands all with their own distinct take on the genre. The Karloffs are already pretty well known further afield on the indie metal scene getting exposure On Planet Rock and gigs in the legendary Fiddler's elbow with their hard hitting heavy style. Suicide Notes were just starting to make a big impression with their own particular brand of 'sleeze rock'. Think of Dogs D'Amour and Hanoi Rocks rolled up in a big Woodbine and washed down with a Jack Daniels gargle and you have the general idea. 100% attitude and wonderful melodic roots rock. Das Ghoul is a band with a big following in the area with punchy rock cues and perhaps taking their darker but always humour laden approach from the Alice Cooper book of rock theatricality. A hell of a night you might say!

DS:UK - Dire Straits tribute
DSUK return to The Northcourt for a second visit this time on their Brothers in 85 tour paying tribute to one of the biggest selling albums in music history. During the 80’s and 90’s, Dire Straits was one of the largest music brands and concert touring bands in the world. Still today, Mark Knopfler & his playing remains one of the most recognisable sounds and most admired guitarists in modern Rock. DSUK will be bringing Brothers in Arms back to life along with all the old favourites including Sultans of Swing, Romeo & Juliet, Telegraph Road, Expresso Love and THAT riff.....Money For Nothing. The band is regarded as *the* quintessential tribute band among Dire Straits fans with their incredible attention to musical and sonic detail. To say that “dS:uK” sound like Dire Straits is an understatement.
