CLUB 85

FRIDAY 14 JULY
Doors open at 7.45pm

8.30pm - THE JACK
a great, young, rocking, guitar led, blues/rock band from Portland Oregon, on their first ever trip to the UK kicking the festival into opening the festival in style.

9.30pm - ADDICTIVE DHOLIS
15 powerful and dynamic Dhol drummers raising the roof.

10.15pm FRUITION
one of the best and biggest local bands of the moment Fruition play lovable indie rock! Personally I’d describe them as a punky Waterboys, but that may be simply because of Pete’s wonderful voice.

The Addictive Dholis will be joining Fruition to close the show so expect the roof to lift off the building, it will be electric, the fun starts here.
