Nestled in Leicester\u2019s cathedral quarter, Firebug<\/a> has long been a bastion of the city\u2019s music scene. Opening its doors in 2004, \u2018Bug has hosted a range of excellent touring acts including the likes of Frank Turner and Frightened Rabbit as well as being a proud supporter of the city\u2019s local artists.<\/p>\n

As live music makes its long-awaited return, Firebug and her sister bar Duffy\u2019s<\/a> have teamed up to provide a stomping day of music this Bank Holiday Sunday and it is all for FREE! Headlining the evening on Firebug are Leicester\u2019s own preachers of rock, the mighty Goldwater<\/strong><\/a>. Soul crunching blues-rock with heavy dashes of psychedelia and gypsy rhythms, the four-piece have become known for their explosive live performances as frontman Grant Decker prowls the stage like a maniacal preacher.<\/p>\n

Over in Duffy\u2019s, doom metal monsters Mage<\/strong> <\/a>will be closing affairs with their own brand of stoner rock. Expect the riffs to be shaking the shamrocks of the walls of the tiny Irish pub.<\/p>\n

Main support in Firebug for the evening is the high-octane bunch of misfits known as The Whiskey Rebellion<\/strong><\/a>. Foot stomping folk-infused Balkan swing and beer swilling sea shanties, the rebels of Whiskey are sure to get the crowd going.<\/p>\n

Also, in Firebug are hotly tipped acoustic collective The Table Troubadours<\/strong><\/a> who recently silenced a sold-out Musician Pub with their soulful twist on modern Americana. Featuring members of The Brandy Thieves<\/strong><\/a>, The 40 Hertz<\/a><\/strong>, Paddywax<\/strong> <\/a>and New Age Grace<\/strong><\/a>, The Troubadours combine intricate guitars with soulful harmonies to take their listeners on journey around their table and through their lives. A band definitely to keep on your radar.<\/p>\n

Longstanding member of the local music scene Marcus Reeves<\/strong><\/a> will also be giving it his all for the Firebug crowd with his excellent Seasick Steve inspired hobo rock\u2019n\u2019roll. Meanwhile, in Duffy\u2019s power metal trio The Darkhorse<\/strong><\/a> and doom\/sludge rockers Tumanduumband<\/strong><\/a> will be keeping the walls shaking and the heads banging.<\/p>\n

More acts are still being added at the time of publication. In addition, the Firebug DJs will be keeping the party going well into the early hours with a silent disco upstairs in Firebug and a Feedback DJ takeover in Duffy\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Doors are at 2pm, music starts at 5.30pm, entrance is Free, expect standing room only so get there early! It is a good job Monday is a bank holiday!<\/p>\n
