“Wham!” Storming gig at The John Duck in Durham City on Friday 22nd November. Lots of ladies invading the stage and strutting their stuff. “Bam!” A short trip across town to sister pub The Angel on Saturday 23rd November for a blistering gig with a hyper audience and another well stocked dance floor. “Thank ya […]
Sunday afternoon, 3rd November 2013. Excellent! A pub that looks like a Rock Venue as soon as you step in the door. Welcome to The Penny Gill in Spennymoor. The walls are plastered with rock posters and there’s musical instruments and other paraphernalia hanging from the ceiling. A sound system literally “blasts” out rock tunes […]
Just back from another great “club” gig at Wheatley Hill Constitutional Club (The Conshies). A new venue to us and our fourth club gig out of our last five bookings. We’ve had good turn-outs over the last three weeks at Hetton Lyons Cricket Club in Hetton-le-Hole, Buffalos Rock Night at Houghton-le-Spring Comrades Club and St.Peter’s […]
Tom’s been back a good few weeks now since his month away gigging in Israel and therefore was on guitar for this stomping gig at The Angel in Durham City tonight, Saturday 27th July 2013. Lots of ‘Fancy Dancing’ and photo opportunities with a great audience. Gimme Shelter (Stones), Creep (Radiohead) and Starman (Bowie) are […]
Riding on the back of our 3-gig mini tour of Durham we travelled North at the end of June and into July to perform another 3-gig mini tour in the Gateshead/Newcastle area. We drew some excellent crowds at The Vic and The Three Tuns in Gateshead followed by a class Sunday afternoon gig at The […]
As expected, a great gig at The Angel Inn, Durham City on Saturday 2nd June 2012. Our recent practice meant we had three new songs in the set. ‘God Save The Queen’, bit of a one-off for the forthcoming Queen’s Diamond Jubilee next weekend, ‘Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ and the classic, although […]
Buffalos Rock Night. We had a class gig at The Comrades Club, Houghton-le-Spring tonight, Friday 8th April 2011. The Rock Night has been re-sited to The Comrades from Buffs Social Club, also in Houghton, and has lost none of its’ appeal as a cracking night out. Thanks to the guy who joined us on stage […]
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 […]
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. Excellent crowd! […]
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 […]
