The Bungalow is Shadowplay – The Definitive Joy Division Tribute, an eerily accurate live portrayal of the real thing. ‘…scary how much you sound like him!’ says Peter Hook. “Recreating the sound and vision of Joy Division playing the classic tracks from Digital, Shadowplay, Transmission, Love will tear us apart and many more. This band are the real deal and if you close your eyes it’s like listening to Ian Curtis tones. A must see if you are a fan of one of the most pioneering acts to come out of Manchester, and that’s some accolade!” Opens at 7pm and you can pay on entry.
The Bobby Deans Big Band are back again for some more of the best classic big band and jazz numbers. Doors are at 1pm and the band kicks off at 2pm. Free entry.
After The End a Black Sabbath tribute band play at The Bungalow tomorrow night. Black Sabbath are without a doubt the creators and the God Fathers of heavy rock, and After the End have come together to emulate their innovative sound and bring it to the masses. The band covers all the classics, such as War Pigs, NIB and Snowblind and some time-honoured Ozzy solo tracks, including Crazy Train and Bark at the Moon. Their high energy, interactive, in your face show will have you singing along to the tracks that have inspired generations.
For those that missed Black Sabbath in their first incarnation this is the closest you are ever likely to get to the real thing. After the End have a full repertoire of early Black Sabbath classics to draw from and are still adding to this to keep creating the ultimate Sabbath tribute. Doors are 7pm and you can pay on entry.
