The Real Music Club celebrates its 20th anniversary. https://wegottickets.com/event/639418
The first gig happened on 27th Jan 2005 at The Marlborough Theatre and featured The Las Vegas Mermaids, and Judge Trev with Jaki Windmill.
The club was originally founded by Judge Trev Thoms, Tim ‘Slim Tim Slide’ Rundall and Honkin’ Stu McKay.
They started the club to put on monthly gigs promoting original local bands and solo artists, making sure the majority of the door went to those performing, having found it difficult getting any decent paying gigs.
Since it formed, the club has promoted many local, and some out of town acts, and has also featured some legendary acts and performers, such as Nik Turner’s Inner City Unit, Mick Farren’s Last Men Standing (featuring ex Deviants/Pink Fairies Duncan ‘Sandy’ Sanderson and Russell Hunter), Steffe Sharpstring’s Sentient (which came out as a live CD), Johnny Moped, Edgar Broughton, Andy Roberts, Nick Harper, Johnny Moped (featuring Captain Sensible) to name a few.
The club is a non-profit organisation, run by volunteers. Over the years, since Trev, Tim and Stu started the club, committee members have included Tim Dowling, Roy Weard, Cliff Dowding, Nik Nimbus, Jay Bee, Tim Burness, Tony Bowell, Sean Avis, and the club members are now Joe Bridge, Gregg McKella, Neal Rogers, Sean Wallis, Tristian Watson-o'brien.
Over the years, the RMC have put on many benefit nights, including gigs for Cardiacs Tim Smith, Gong’s daevid Allen, and our yearly memorial gigs to co-founder Judge Trev, where proceeds, as with this gig, going to BHCR (Brighton & Hove Community Radio) and to PANCREATIC CANCER UK.
Line up!
The Nik Turner/Judge Trev Tribute Band 9.45 - 11pm
We welcome back ICU Nazar Ali Khan on bass, Martin Litmus on lead guitar, along with Gregg McKella, Kev Ellis, and Richard Lanchester plus guests.

A special blues ensemble featuring Honkin’ Stu on harp and vocals, Andy Power from Sumerian Kyngs on bass, Ryan Bollard from Column 258 on drums and Louise Maggs from Tex and the Lonestars on guitar, which had been put together especially for Tim Rundall's memorial gig in November 2022 playing classic blues.
The band continued to play, following this lovely memorial gig to Tim, and now playing their own original material. They have played various esteemed blues festivals including Wotton Under Edge Blues Festival and the Broadstairs Blues Bash.
Dirty Scavenger 8 to 8.30pm
Dirty Scavenger spent her late teenage years living on the streets, scavenging for food using music, & developing her vocal, guitar & songwriting skills.
Dirty Scavenger's music is dark, raw, and full of angst. Influenced by Jo's many life experiences and by some of the greatest rock bands of all time, she writes songs with dark melodic guitar riffs and deep and meaningful, soulful lyrics, and conveys them with precision on the guitar and powerful raw vocals. Often described by many as mesmerizing to watch.
Proceeds to BHCR (Brighton & Hove Community Radio) and to PANCREATIC CANCER UK (Registered Charity No. 1112708)
