Happy Tunesday Gig Guide

Coming up this week ...

Wednesday’s Jam Night is as usual on, er, Wednesday, at the Eagle Tavern, 9pm; The Andy Smyth Trio is at The Man of Kent, 8.30pm.

On Thursday, Bitten by Monkeys are at the Eagle Tavern at 9pm, with King Size Slim at The Man of Kent from 8.30pm.  

Saturday finds the House Rockers at The Prince of Wales, High Street, Strood at 9pm, with no excuse on Sunday to not hear some live music: Geoff Mason/Jo Fook Quintet at the Eagle Tavern, 1pm; Don Barcott Trio at Ye Arrow 2pm – 4pm and Jam Night at The Man of Kent, 8pm.

And local band Tyrannosaurus Alan, led by founder member, bass player and Rochester resident, Ben Robinson, are embarking on a 60 day summer tour – with no idea of where they’ll be sleeping! Now that’s what I call a proper band, none of this namby pamby hotel business. Can’t throw any tellys about though.

If travelling especially, it’s probably a god idea to call the venues in case of cancellations.  And if you know of gig in a local venue or a local band gigging elsewhere, please feel free to add it on. Reviews of all aforementioned gigs (and those that aren’t) are most welcome (even if it the bands themselves – go on, go for it!)
