FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK - The UK's Leading High Energy Rock Show
Featuring Livewire AC/DC and Limehouse Lizzy
LIVEWIRE are the AC/DC show with a big difference!
Both the Bon Scott & Brian Johnson eras of the band are included - with two very individual singers in the same explosive performance! The band bring the full size 'DC show to the fans - complete with the cannons, the walkways, the backdrops and the drapes. With a rock hard rhythm section and Lorne cutting the rug as Angus Young, it's easy to see why Livewire are considered to be the ultimate tribute to AC/DC. All the classics are there from Whole Lotta Rosie and Highway To Hell, to Thunderstruck and Back In Black. With Livewire there's no holding back - it's the full on show from start to finish! Close your eyes and you'll hear AC/DC; open your eyes and you'll see AC/DC!
LIMEHOUSE LIZZY - THE VERY BEST OF THIN LIZZY!
Renowned for an action-packed pyrothechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, well and dominating stages worldwide.
Attention to detail, charismatic audience interaction and that all important X-factor feeling of seeing-the-real-thing, have led to their performance being described as “beyond tribute”, by both audience and critics alike. Throw in a stunning replica of the famous Lizzy mirrored, LED-lit backdrop, huge hung banners with the image of the man himself, Phil Lynott, and pyro explosions galore and you could be witnessing ‘Live & Dangerous’ before your very eyes!
Expect the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks such as ‘The Boys are Back in Town’, ’Whiskey In The Jar’ and many others we’ve come to expect from one of the most highly rated acts on the circuit.

Foals

<< Hide details
Returning to Lincoln in November the Oxfordshire five piece are set to play at The Engine Shed once more.
May 10th saw Foals return with their much-anticipated second album Total Life Forever. After much critical acclaim, the band and their latest album have now been nominated for the 2010 Barclaycard Mercury Prize – An Album of the Year.
Total Life Forever was recorded during late 2009 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by Luke Smith (Clor), and was mixed by wild man Alan Moulder in London 2010. By choosing to record in the labyrinthine Svenska Grammofon Studion, the band were intent on ridding themselves of distractions. Isolated but close-knit, they worked for two months, honing their dynamic musicality. The restless guitars of Foals’ debut are remembered only in fragments. Gone are the fast rhythms and distinctive yelps of Antidotes - the pace on Total Life Forever is less breakneck, but the grooves are deeper and tighter. Vast soundscapes and oceanic sonic depth distinguish this album as a huge progression.
Total Life Forever is a sound as persuasive emotionally as Antidotes was physically. Whereas the latter constantly reinforced its own presence by filling the air with yelping and polyrhythm, songs on the new album - such as disarming opener ‘Blue Blood’, ‘Two Trees’ and the astonishing ‘Black Gold’ - are happier to leave gaps for the mind’s eye and ear to explore. 'Alabaster' is the shell of a song, stripped of its flesh and soaked in natural reverb, giving space for a joyous, anthemic chorus. Emotional highlight 'Spanish Sahara' builds from a still, dry space, into a hazy, hallucinatory landscape, climaxing into a rush of shimmering guitars and keys. Pop gem 'Miami' retains the band's homespun interweaving riffs and rabid drumming, inspired and loosened by the bliss and sway of classic Balearic disco.
