Organised by\u00a0Casbah MMP events<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Second Sons<\/strong> are the best thing to happen to rock n roll since Booker T<\/strong> fell in with the MGs. I absolutely love their new songs. While being just about as old as Elvis, it’s also entirely and excitingly brand new. It drives like a freight train and punches like a very young Mike Tyson. In a bleak and strange time — I write from the middle of America — this band gives me hope for the republic of rock n roll.” – Rich Cohen, contributing editor, Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n

Main support are Leicester’s own Rock n rollers The Midnight Dogs<\/strong>. Formed in 2013 this Leicester based band has evolved into a formidable, hard working rock outfit, delivering their own brand of down ‘n dirty rock n roll. Their no frills approach to their songs gives their sound a retro 70’s edge when combined with their tight rhythms, catchy guitar riffs, killer bass lines and lyrical stories. Ever the crowd-pleasers, The Midnight Dogs have supported some amazing artists, including The Dogs D’Amour<\/strong>, Stacie Collins<\/strong>, The Quireboys<\/strong>, Gypsy Pistoleros<\/strong>, Spear of Destiny<\/strong> and Dan Baird<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Opening: ALBA ROSA<\/strong>, From South Yorkshire, Alba Rosa combine Funk with Rock ‘n’ Roll for a hard hitting sound.<\/p>\n

The gig is promoted by Casbah Music Management and Promotions. Doors open at 19:30.<\/p>\n
