Marzy's Jamming Night
|
Every Wednesday is Jamming Night at The Marrs Bar. We have a full range of instruments set up for you to play so if you are a guitarist, bass player, keyboard player, singer or drummer you can just turn up and play. You are welcome to bring your own instrument along too if you'd prefer. There is also a DI box set up for the unexpected double bass or an acoustic guitar or whatever. The Marrs Bar is essentially an over 18's venue but as we understand there are many very talented youngsters out there who would also enjoy and benefit from the experience of performing in front of a live crowd we have a junior membership scheme in place, junior membership costs £5 and you will need to bring a passport size photo and get a parent or guardian to fill in this form. Simply bring it along on the night (you will be allowed in on that night) and next time you come your membership card will be ready for collection from the doorman. Free Admission |

Vix From Fuzzbox has cancelled...so:- East Of The Sun, Time Of The Mouth, Answerback and Anchorite |
So, I had Vixx Vox from Fuzzbox booked in for this evening but she e mailed me and cancelled on Monday morning...! I then spent the next couple of days on the phone facebook and e mails to bands to try and get the night salvaged a bit, and to be fair - the line up is pretty awesome if I'm honest. I told the bands that we will charge £4 entry and every band gets £1 each from each punter, so if 100 of you turn up then the bands gets £100 each. East Of The Sun were finalists in our battle of the bands competition last year and Time Of The Mouth are fronted by Chris Jones who is a very capable solo artist in his own right and with the help of a brilliant little band around him they sound excellent, Answerback only joined on the bill Thursday afternoon, they are a Worcester-based Power-pop trio built to leave catchy, likeable music embedded in your head for many days and Anchorite are a Gunge/Punk band from Cheltenham Check them all out on these links www.myspace.com/anchoritetheband www.notjustsauce.com/bands/east-of-the-sun facebook.com/answerback www.myspace.com/timeofthemouth £4 admission, split equally between the bands... |

Fred Zeppelin
|
The four members of Fred Zeppelin are real fans, and formed 'The Freds' out of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelin's music. As their name suggests the band do not take themselves too seriously, they know the praise belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo. According to one of Kerrangs readers polls. FRED ZEPPELIN are among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an achievement, as they were the only tribute band listed in any category. Its worth taking a camera with you, as you don't know who could be standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUM's front-man Bob Catley, WHITESNAKE's guitarist Mel Galley, who attended on recommendation - "Thought I would come and see you, as Robert (Plant) said you were brilliant". Roy Wood legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD, and SLADES Jimmy Lea was the latest rock celebrity to experience a two-hour Fred Zeppelin gig. Fred Zeppelin were invited by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to attend a charity event of which Jimmy is a patron. Kev (former bassist) and Blackie (drums) attended and were thrilled to meet and chat with the legendary guitarist. Also at the party were Roger Daltrey, Julian Lloyd Webber, Leo Sayer and Formula One's David Coultard. What a night ! www.fred-zeppelin.com £8 ticket and £10 on the door |
