Reviews of Heavy Metal Bands available in the United Kingdom

5/5 from 17 reviews
Photo of Biker Band Biker Band "The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press" Based in Norwich, England John Blading - Music Venue Photo of Break Out - Classic & Modern Rock Band Break Out - Classic & Modern Rock Band "Thanks for a great evening of 70's 80's 90's & mr brightside, music which 95% of was my kinda stuff! I was the long haired , white shirted dude having a dance on my mates 65th birthday do. After a few pints , baby Guinness, shot of jd & a strange coulered spirit in a tiny bottle thoroughly enjoyed your stuff. Not the loudest but a nice quality sound played with a great professionalism & made this 62 year old with a dodgy knee, dance like nobody was watching! Remembering the sounds of yester year when I was young! Ha ha Hats off to you young guys keeping those sounds alive ...even the bassist who seems to have had a rough paper round when he was younger! Highly recommend you lads! Keep up the good work for us oldies to relive our youth! Cheers!"

From the first chord to the final encore, the energy was off the charts. Spot-on vocals, killer guitar work, and dead on rhythm section. The crowd was on fire. If you’re a Foos fan, this is the closest you’ll get to the real thing. Can’t wait for the next gig!"
