BRING GUNS: Bring Guns are a Classic Heavy Rock and Melodic Metal band from Manchester.
With a wide range of influences - from Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden to Motorhead and Opeth - the music is punchy and melodic with powerful vocals, backed by a solid driving rhythm section, and topped by twin lead guitars.
Originally formed shortly before COVID knocked the world for six, the line-up went through some short-lived changes over the next few years until, at the start of 2024, things finally came together for the current line-up which now has a varied, hour-long set of songs and a good number of successful gigs around the North-West of the UK under their belt.
They played a banger of a set recently at this very venue - November 30th to be exact where they were direct support to Arrow Valley. A band that's truly going from strength to strength!

YESTERDAY'S GONE:
They say that music is the language of the soul, and nothing could be truer for Yesterday's Gone. Composed of a group of inspirational musicians and skilful performers, the artists behind Yesterday's Gone have earned their reputation as a talented band to look out for. From live gigs, to studio sessions and more, they continue to touch fans around the world with their distinct and enjoyable musical style, Southern Fried Blues Rock, Straight up no chaser!!
Forming in 2019 the band has gone from strength to strength winning over crowds across the UK with a hard hitting raw blues, rock sound hitting the scene with their début single “Greed” followed by their début Ep “Metamorphosis”.
Although only forming in 2019 don’t be fooled, Yesterday's Gone have a wealth of experience and between the 5 member of the band, Rob Walker (Vocals), Josh Walker (Guitar), Danny Vernon (Guitar, and solo maker), George Sharpe (Bass), Stan Tomkinson (Drums), they have shared the stage with the likes of John “Rhino” Edwards from Status Quo and Rhino’s Revenge, Saxon (Official), The Dead Daisies, The Quire boys, Ryders Creed, These Wicked Rivers, The howling Tides, Dead Man’s Whisky, Black Water Conspiracy, to name but a few!
The band seem to have gelled really well in the short time that we have been together and the music that is being produced takes influences from both Classic Rock, Blues, Metal, Stoner, and many other weird and wonderful influences, if you can imagine Zep had a love child with Clutch, Audioslave and Whitesnake you may be on the right track.
The core sound of the band has always tried to be blues rock, but we all have our own ideas on tracks and where they should go, seriously you would think that was an issue with influences going from Danny Vernon, driving influences like of Reb Beach, Joel Hoakstra, Doug Aldridge, Angus Young, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Chuck Berry and just about every other guitarist I can think of to Josh who is down right Influenced by a lot of old school dirty rock and roll.
Influences include the likes of Boston, Led Zeppelin and Kansas all the way to mastodon, Fu Manchu, Helmet and most of all Clutch. Drop tuned and Loud is his #1 philosophy, and as mad as that is the rabbit hole gets deeper with the rest of the band’s input, but always works, sort of!
Well judge for yourself.
