Tubesnake

Buffalos Rock Night. We had a class gig at The Comrades Club, Houghton-le-Spring tonight, Friday 8th April 2011. Great atmosphere from a very appreciative crowd.

Friday 17th September 2010 at The Big Jug, Claypath, Durham City. Class night at a venue Tubesnake ain’t played for over ten years. In that dark and distant past the band line-up and the venue itself looked a tad different. Packed pub for the first half and a good sized audience was retained for the […]

Saturday 14th August 2010. Our first visit to Bubbles in Ashington. Canny drive out since we’re from Durham and Crook but that passed in no time. Great feel to this venue with the blacked out stage in the corner adorned with a range of spot lights and appropriate framed rock shots hanging on all the […]

The Bonny Moorhen, Stanhope, Sunday 11th July 2010. Always a pleasure to do this gig seeing as we know half the town. Woody took the scenic route and we were set up with plenty of time to spare for a bit crack with the locals while The Doors album, LA Woman, played over our PA […]

Sunday 20th June 2010. Our first gig at The Ship in Eighton Banks. Good little gig this one with a 6 o’clock start and all done by 8.15pm. Excellent weather meant there was a good turn out with plenty of people inside and almost as many sitting outside catching some rays. Again, another venue with […]

Back on the road after three weeks off. Friday 4th June 2010. First visit to The Saltgrass, Sunderland and although the room is only big enough to swing a cat and a half we had a great night. Nice and packed and almost felt like the audience and the bar itself were part of the […]

Friday 14th May 2010 at Durham Live Lounge in North Road, Durham City. A cracking night at this new venue with TUBESNAKE opening at 9pm with an hour long set. Loved the ‘live’ performance video being projected behind us. Hey, this place used to be a cinema years ago. Young local band END REIGN were […]

Friday 16th April 2010 at The Stables Bar & Brewery, Beamish Hall, near Stanley. This was a well attended gig made up of boat loads of friends from Durham, Chester-le-Street and Stanhope plus a big bunch of peeps who turned up to check us out as well as party-people diners who capped their night off […]

Friday 9th April 2010, Buffalos Rock Night at The Buffs Social Club, Houghton-le-Spring. A tremendous night was had at Buffalos! Almost a year since we last gigged here and we had a good sized crowd in again. This is an excellent venue filled with music fans who pay £2.50 for their musical fix and we […]

Easter Sunday, 4th April 2010 at The Lambton Hounds, Pity Me, Durham. Our 5 o’clock start was delayed til 5.30pm as Tom and Woody raided a nearby mate’s garage to retrieve a replacement guitar amp after Tom’s gave up the ghost during the soundcheck. This allowed a few more punters to assemble and empowered the […]

The New Tavern, Concord, Washington, Friday 26th March 2010. First time at this venue and a great gig it was. Plenty of floor-space for the band and Richie, who takes the bookings, gave us a warm welcome and a bit chat before ensuring we had full use of the house lights and lasers. Here’s an […]

Sunday afternoon, 28th February 2010, The Star Inn, Newcastle. Despite the on-off pouring rain outside, the troops still rallied to this gig. Thanks to everyone who made the effort and turned up, not least to bods from as far away as Stanhope, Crook and Durham. The place was packed and the atmosphere electric. […]

The Whitburn Lodge, Whitburn, Saturday 20th February 2010. Our second gig at The Lodge and nice to see a few familiar faces from the Sunderland area and a whole bunch who probably hadn’t caught the band before. Thanks to Kenny for once again dazzling us all with his dancing (never misses a Doors track) and […]

The Beamish Mary Inn, No Place, Stanley, Saturday 16th January 2010. The Beamish Mary Inn has been reborn and we were there for the christening. The place has been refurbished throughout and looks great. The gig room is warmer with improved heating and a new wooden floor. It’s less cluttered and has had the old […]

The Mill House, Birtley. Sunday 20th December 2009. Quiet as hell when we first turned up but then patrons, Carl & Deanne McDonald, brought the girls from their other pub just around the corner, The Ship Inn. It was their staff night out and they were dressed to the hilt like glossy front-cover magazine models. […]

Friday 18th December 2009. Our first gig in The Stables Pub & Brewery which is set in the grounds of Beamish Hall, near Stanley. Opened in May 2009 as a bar-restaurant with its’ own brewery, it also hosts live bands every Friday night and has done for a few months now. Hell of a setting […]
