What’s on this October at The Roadmender

The Roadmender was all set to take you on a journey through the career of one of the biggest rock juggernauts to emerge in recent decades, this month – with a visit from pretenders the UK Foo Fighters.

But that date has been scrapped.

Quo Connection and Dizzy Lizzy team up for a night of classic rock at the venue (Oct 11); the former featuring members of John Coghlan’s Quo.

Celtic rock infused punk rock sextet Ferocious Dog (Oct 12) ‘comfortably slot in between Billy Bragg and The Levellers,’ and they’ve been peddling their wares for aeons now. The Dog released its sixth album, Kleptocracy, earlier this year. Always a sterling live proposition, this show will be another winner.

Support comes from The O’Reillys and The Paddyhats.
The Style Councillors will be playing tribute to The Style Council, and more specifically marking the 40th anniversary of the Shout To The Top single issued by Paul Weller’s mob, when they visit on October 18.

Now to an artist with so much power that she can single-handedly lift the finances of a country. Imagine that. She is Taylor Swift (like you didn’t know) and as the UK continues its recovery after Swifto-mania last month, a trip to the Swiftogeddon Club Night might help fans with their transition back to normality.

This is a night dedicated to worshipping at the altar of the pop Princess – with deep cuts, extended mixes, fan favourites and all the hits.
Feeling glum? Prepare to erm, Shake It Off and have lots of fun.

Liverpool leaders Cast are mid-way through an extensive UK tour which puts them in front of the ‘fampton crowd at the end of the month (Oct 31).

The band issued its seventh long-player back in February, and Love Is The Call matched the standard set by their classic debut, All Change – it even afforded the band their highest chart position in 25 years. How about that?

A recent tour saw the band playing to rapturous receptions, so they answered demand with this current road crawl, delivering a punchy set of old classics and new bangers up and down the land.

“On our recent tour, the live set felt galvanised and freshened by the energy of the songs from the new album alongside our classic hits,” said frontman John Power, “I couldn’t believe how well the set seemed to run so seamlessly between all of the different songs, in fact the new stuff was getting just as loud a cheer as some of our timeless hits. The band has re-found our mojo…” he promised.
