THE
BEERPIGS
6.00pm
myspace.com/thebeerpigs
20 years of high-octane inspired, well chosen covers from these
ex-Guests (for those with long memories). Expect anything from new
wave angst to classic guitar pop and even the odd soulful groove.
You might have caught this lot strutting their stuff recently on
the main stage at the Town Hall's packed-to-the-rafters St Patrick's
Day party. Not your average cover band. Expect ramped up versions
of the likes of Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, Scissor Sisters'
Don't Feel Like Dancing, The Monkees' I'm a Believer and Stone Roses'
She Bangs the Drums.

ELVIS
TRIBUTE (Niall Southall)
5.00pm
niallsouthall.co.uk
We first came across this fella when he was conducting marriage
ceremonies in our fake Vegas chapel at The Empire on Valentines'
Day. (Some funny goings on that night - I can tell you!) Anyway,
we've been through a few Elvis impersonators over the years and
Niall is one of the best we've ever encountered. His show features
songs from the raw early 50s right through to the lavish Vegas performances.
His costumes come direct from Memphis. In fact, this man eats, sleeps
and breathes Elvis - even his three youngest children are named
after the king - Eve Grace (after Gracelands), Theo Presley and
Jude Elvis.

FRANTIC
SOUND COLLECTIVE
4.00pm &
3.00pm
New side project from the legendary Mike McGrother - manic fiddling
frontman from one of Teesside's all time most popular bands The
Wildcats of Kilkenny, alongside ex- bandname Andy Johnson whose
been wowing local audience with a series of critically acclaimed
solo albums over the last few years. The ethos is based around a
core band numbering five in total with additional guest musicians
dropping in on a gig-by-gig basis. (Hence the collective bit of
the name and the thrillingly unpredictable nature of the set lists.
Today they'll be playing a couple of sets for us - the first drawn
from pop influences cross the board; the second with more than a
hint of twisted Celtic shenanigans.

THE
CASH MACHINE (change to brochure)
2.00pm
myspace.com/thecashmachineband
We booked this lot as a Hank Williams tribute but it turns out they'd
rather do a Johnny Cash set for Music Live and of course we couldn't
be happier. Forget any images of tired old country and western club
bands you might have - this lot are young, sharp dressing and super
cool.
Personally recommended by our good friend
Mr Luke Harding of The Waiting Room in Eaglescliffe, this four-piece
from Leeds look, dress and sound the part. The Man in Black is
backed by guitar, fiddle, lapsteel guitar and double bass, and
you can expect everything from Walk the Line to Folsom Prison
Blues and A Boy Named Sue.
