Expect all the amazing hits including Wow, Running Down That Hill, Babushka, The Sensual World, Another Day, Hounds of Love and of course Wuthering Heights.

Small Fakers - Amazing Small Faces tribute approved by Kenney Jones
(This is the rearranged date from March all non-refunded tickets valid)
An astoundingly authentic band that deliver the music of Marriott, Lane, McLagan and Jones with a passion and musical excellence. So good are the Small Fakers that Kenny Jones himself and Steve Marriott's sister (yes that's right) have both given their seal of approval. The Small Fakers' live performances really deliver on all levels. From the power and majesty of All or Nothing to the pop perfection of Itchycoo Park there's a real fun in the music and the mischievous glint in each of their eyes that anyone who saw Steve and the boys play will instantly recognise. The band has played with Kenny Jones of the Small Faces and The Who and the incredible vocalist that is PP Arnold famous for her work with the Small Faces, Clapton, Steel Pulse, Roger Waters and too many others to mention.The Small Fakers have played at The Isle of Wight Festival and tour the UK and Europe playing to sell out crowds on an almost nightly basis

Molly Karloff, Suicide Notes & Das Ghoul - Three of Oxford's top original rock outfits
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!
