Bands 2023
The Blast
|
The Blast are a five piece classic rock band formed in 1991. Since then they have been rocking in pubs, parties & festivals all over the country. They have made two albums of original material which have had several radio plays, but now concentrate on rock covers. Guitarist magazine reviewed their second album “Nothing succeeds like good times bar-room rock’n’ roll, & this motley crew, fronted by the vocal reincarnation of Bon Scott, sound like they’re drenched in beer, clutching a half-empty fag packet with the phone number of the girlfriend of the local Hell’s Angels principal on the back. From the opener “The Shock” the lads (probably) sling their Teles lowdown & dirty”

American Eric and Friends
|
American Eric originally from California has been performing for longer than he cares to remember in the USA, Sweden, France and lucky for us in the UK over the past twenty years. His wide ranging catalogue spans from the Stones, Beatles, CCR, Van Morrison to Bob Marley, Johnny Cash and Cab Calloway. Pick a song and the band will dust it off and blast it out.
Eric will be joined by Tom Dunkley on drums. Tom, of Dirty Dogs and The Drift fame, is one of the Forest's greatest drummers not to be missed. DB Smith of the DB Smith band on lead guitar brings an injection of rock and blues to the line up. Watch out for his Hawaiian guitar for something a little different. |
