Climb The Attic, Season's End, Rubber Thumb, Alzir, Big Red Ass, Alternative Carpark, Heinous Pianist, Squid Resist, Nervous Endings

We're ten, and we're having a party. The bar has been host to thousands of bands but there is a core set of people that have really made a difference, so we asked them to come and celebrate with us. Some of these bands have re-formed especially for the event - and all of them have shaped our musical tastes, friend-groups, lives and been there at the times that mattered and live on in memory today. Big Red Ass are also ten this year and we can't wait to close the night with a good ol' dance with them.

All money raised will go to charity to the building housing the gigs to help with their incredibly varied projects from nursery age care to feedng the elderly and everything in between. Every gig we put on helps funds these causes which is the best aspect of the venue, we love being able to do so. There will be food, extra special treats all day, surprises and drink offers to make the party as much fun as we can do. We'd love to see as many of you as possible, watch this space for further announcements.
