Whats On 24 February

Bobby Deans Big Band is back at The Bungalow tomorrow for more Jazz, Swing and Cool Tunes. This is one of the highlights of the popular afternoon sessions at The Bungalow so if you want a seat, get in early. Doors open at 1pm and it is a free gig. 

Delighted to see The Bungalow have brought back Laid, the UKs no1 tribute to James. Laid are fully endorsed by the band themselves. The story goes that on Saturday 19th May 2018 Mike Hadfield, lead singer, had a VIP ticket to the sound check prior to the James gig at King George’s Hall Blackburn. During the question and answer session Mike grabbed the microphone and asked the band their thoughts of him setting up a tribute band to honour their music. After deliberating as a band, Saul spoke for them saying “Go for it!” and Tim Booth gave his blessing. Mike set to work gathering the troops to create a band of fans for fans – Laid – a tribute to James.

Laid have hit the tribute scene with lightning pace, receiving high praise everywhere they play. Bookings all over the country have come in thick and fast and the band have marked their territory as the leading tribute to one of the best bands to come out of Manchester. Playing all the hits including “Sit Down”, “Come Home”, “Ring the Bells”, “She’s a Star” and “Laid” they are not to be missed. You can pay on the door and they open at 7pm.
