We have just learned (12.30pm on show day) that Lesley (Blondie) has been struck down but the dreaded Lurgy which has been doing the rounds and really struggling to speak let alone sing. Rather than struggle on with a sub-par performance which is never good for anyone we and the band have agreed to postpone tonight's show to a future date. ALL TICKET HOLDERS have been informed directly earlier and apologies to those who were planning on coming later, still to get a ticket or

2025 is all but done as I jot this down, with just ONE more live show and Saturday night Rock Club on 27th Dec with TEMPTATION WAITS kicking the night off before we see out 2025 Dread Style with our HOGMANAY PARTY in a weeks time. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the full Rock Crew Team to thank you all keeping the Rock and Roll Train going down the tracks whether it was just coming to one show or really knocking the arse out it every weekend in 2025.

Some really tragic news in this morning I’m sorry to announce. Due to a very sudden bereavement to one of the bands immediate family we will be postponing this show due to take place on Friday 19 th December to Friday 27 March 2026 .

18/11/25 IMPORTANT UPDATE Due to very slow uptake since putting this event out on sale on 5th April 2025 - Just 25 at todays date. We have already had too many sleepless nights with the uptake also what we know financially we will be facing in 2026 to deliver this show, so had no option to look very closely at all the costs/band fees involved in this show then take an impossible decision to cancel The Meffs appearance on the 2026 Gathering with full agreement from their mana

So far..... No Bad news for a change but think we've had our fair share lately including mini drain disasters, amps blowing up, speakers disintegrating and multitude of repairs to deal with that fortunately the highly tuned technicians were all able to fix in house and wash the bodily fluids away. All of which no one would ever know has gone on behind the scenes but without it would have potentially stopped the machine in it's tracks. We haven't stopped after quite a hectic r
