Vintage Sixties Live Were you part of the North East Clubland Rhythm Group scene in the Sixties? Do you remember The Downbeats, The Zephyrs, The Panthers, The Gringos or any of the thousands of other groups who populated the working men’s club scene in the area around this time?   ... then read on - this concerns you! We are hoping to bring together some of the many semi-pro local musicians and singers who worked the North East Working Men's Club circuit during the Sixties. The Management of Tudhoe Victory Club, on the outskirts of Spennymoor, has kindly donated the use of their excellent Concert Room on the second Thursday in every month starting June 8th 2006. The evenings are intended to be very informal - providing an opportunity for the working artistes of our era to perform as we did back then - or just to meet and swap stories, songs and pictures. Free amplification and PA equipment will be provided! Click on the image for more information and some great memorabilia

The Fore 'If you were listening to The Kinks, Small Faces or The Beatles, and a Fore demo dropped in to your play list you wouldn't notice the huge generation gap.

The Fore are not a tribute band by any means, yet they have captured the essence of the 60’s music scene and made it their own'. Broccoli Music

The Mods play the music of The Who, Small Faces, Kinks, Pretty Things, Yardbirds, Spencer Davis, Them, The Doors, Desmond Dekker, Otis Redding, Humble Pie, The Move, Nashville Teens, The Animals...and more. Click on the logo for bookings or to view their gig guide
