It is Wrong Jovi’s first time at The Bungalow tonight. They have been described by TV celebrity Justin Lee-Collins as “the best Bon Jovi tribute band in the world”.

The Open Stage Session is on Sunday from 3pm and following that Morganway and Kezia Gill will be playing later. Morganway are known for their six-part harmonies, energetic rhythms, catchy songs and a fiercely formidable live act. Part country, part rock, with sprinklings of folk gives them an awesome unconventional sound. Kezia Gill is a multi-award-winning artist. She has the song writing ability of a country artist, the stage energy of a rock star, and the voice of the blues with a range of genres including Folk & Irish, Country, Rock and Blues. Doors are at 7pm and you can get tickets on entry.

On Monday why not get arty and musical at Paint and a Pint. You can draw, paint, collage and singalong while some very talented people get on the Bungalow stage. Donation on entry and opens at 7pm.

Thursday’s Introducing Night has three bands on the bill. The Lonely Brave, Enter the Blue Sky and Dutch band Scotch. I saw Scotch play The Bungalow years ago and they are definitely worth going to see. Their high energy show gives you a kind of folk party vibe. Scotch will get the place jumping and put a smile on your face for the journey home. Tickets are £5/3 on the door and opens at 7pm.
