Wed 9th Jul 19.30 Inukshuk / The Rough Charm / Abandon / Pearl Rabbit

The Rough Charm
A Rock n' Roll band that not only believe their own hype and shout it from the rooftops for everyone to hear, but also have the raw natural talent and charisma to back it up on stage. The Rough Charm were formed in early 2007 but it was in February 2008 the band hit the studio to make their first “proper” record. A month later they signed with local independent record label SONS Ltd. A month later and they closed the SONS showcase, playing their biggest gig to date in front of Carl Barat and Didz Hammond of Dirty Pretty Things fame at the Victoria Hall, Stoke-On-Trent's most prestigious venue.

Inukshuk
Based in and around Nottingham, Inukshuk were formed in late 2006 when vocalist Matt Rai, having returned from Canada, decided he wanted to take his solo career to the next level. They are all massive admirers of Jeff Buckley and the melodies and ambition of Queen. They also name Nick Drake as an influence.

Abandon
A 5-piece classic rock band who normally mix covers with their own material. They work with their audience to make sure that they enjoy the night as much as they love to perform.

Pearl Rabbit
Made up of four lads from the Long Eaton area. They mix various styles including indie, rock, punk and Metal.
