Formed
in 1973, Bad Company have spanned four
decades, they are personified as a supergroup and a rock
institution. As with many supergroups members interchange,
when Paul Rogers formed The Firm, with members of Led
Zeppelin and The Who ; Robert
Hart was invited to Join Bad Company
by founder guitarist, Mick Ralphs and drummer, Simon Kirke.
The band will be performing a set list featuring
all of their greatest hits over the last four decades
including 'Feel Like Makin Love', 'Can't Get Enough' and
'Shooting Star' - Saturday night is going to be a night
to remember ! |
From
1992 until 1999 Bad Company was fronted by the
charismatic multi talented vocalist and hit
songwriter Robert Hart, voted
one of best rock vocalists of all time although
Robert modestly refutes that. Roberts debut
Bad Company album 'Company of Strangers' co-written
by him was released in 1995 and this was followed
by 'Stories Told and Untold' in 1996.
In 1999 Paul Rogers rejoined the original members
for a one off twentieth anniversary tour (twenty
years since they had last played together) in
The USA. Robert Hart continued with his musical
career writing songs, and performing with various
members and ex members of Bad Company and to
overcome trademark rights in relation to Bad
Company and Bad Co Robert has formed his own
band calling it X Bad Company with Robert, Dave
"Bucket" Colwell, "Jaz Lochrie"
and Gary "Harry" James all of them
being ex members of Bad Company.
The Rock & Bike Fest are proud to welcome
Robert Hart's XBad Company to the 2010 show!

Juicy
Lucy had been championed by John Peel
who discovered them whilst he was working as a DJ in the
US. He was so impressed that he produced their first recordings
in 1966 and invited them to come to the UK, an offer they
later took up. However, having made it to the UK the Vietnam
draft in the US and problems with UK immigration services
caused personnel problems and associated line up changes.
The first single from the self titled debut album "Who
Do You Love?", a cover of a Bo Diddley song, stamped
it's way up the singles charts in the UK and several European
countries in the spring of 1970, finally reaching number
14 in the UK and staying on the chart for three months.
The album cover itself caused quite a stir, featuring
as it did a woman lying naked, surrounded (and modesty
preserved) by fruit!

Hire, the Guns n' Roses tribute band who will take you
down to the Paradise City of 1980's party mayhem. The
sex, the drugs, the violence, the shocking truth, the
bandanas, the Jack Daniels, the hairspray, the chaos,
the top hat, the costumes - the Definitive Guns n' Roses
Experience!
G4H
was established in early 2009 by some of the best musicians
on the tribute scene who have been touring the globe for
the past 8 years.
The band was formed from the very best musicians and singer
from other GN'R tribute acts in the UK.

A ball-crunching, ferocious, non-stop rock n' roll tribute
to the loudest and dirtiest rock band on the planet. Taking
the four-piece line-up from the early 90's faithfully
reproduces the massive wall of sound that is Motorhead.
The look of the band on stage is authentic:
Phil
Campbell : cowboy hat & long leather coat;
.
Wurzel : bandanna, wrist bands, and bullet belt;
Mikkey
Dee: the powerhouse with muscles and blonde locks.
And finally, Lemmy complete with iron cross, shades, white
cowboy boots - and of course, his original 1975 Rickenbastard
bass.

The
Ramonas are the UK's only all girl tribute to the
Ramones, one of the most influential punk rock
bands in history.
The
Ramonas capture the magic which the Ramones had in their
early days with their intense on stage energy levels whilst
looking much better than Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee or Marky
ever did. Unfortunately it will never be possible to see
the Ramones live again so the Ramonas
are the next best thing for any punk rock fan.

| Toxic
Federation are a Derby based Rock band emerging as one
of the most exciting musical forces in the Midlands. Toxic
Federation have amassed huge support in the Midlands and
have growing support across the UK. Adrenalin
fuelled live shows are remembered for incredible guitar
and drum performances, a consistently exciting stage
act, and an ever present atmosphere that just screams
"This band know just how to push your buttons".
The music is built on soaring, passionate guitar lines,
thundering solid bass, and incredible, intricate drumming.
Toxic Federation have been compared to many world-class
bands, spanning from the present, back to the 70's and
the birth of hard rock, but are increasingly being known
to have a style that doesn't quite follow anyone.

Faith
Healer support Unleash @MFN (review by GD)
"It's back down the old MFN for the Wednesday bike
night. With much needed August sunshine the turn out tonight
is probably the best of the season so far and two bands
are here to entertain us. First up is Faith Healer making
their second visit to thunder valley these local guys
give us half an hour of classic rock covers with a big
slice of zeppelin thrown in. The highlight of their short
set for me was Black Sabbath's NIB and Led Zepps whole
lotta love Faith Healer have only been together a very
short time but some of the guys in the band have been
kicking around the local music scene for ages so have
plenty of experience, an entertaining hors d'oeuvre indeed."

‘ARE
YOU EXPERIENCED?’ were formed over twelve years
ago and in that time they have become widely regarded
as just about the best JIMI HENDRIX tribute show you
will see. Guitarist John Campbell bears more than just
a passing resemblance and has drawn on his many years
of playing in different bands and various styles to
perfect his ‘Hendrix’ persona. When he plays
his strat behind his head and with his teeth, it brings
a smile to the face of even the most finicky Hendrix
fan.
The
band are proud to be playing the timeless music of JIMI
HENDRIX, providing some nostalgic moments for those
lucky people who actually witnessed Jimi in the flesh
and recreating some of the magic for a new and eager
audience.

| Dawn
Trader
Nottingham's Dawn Trader began their
career during the phenomenon known as the NWOBHM ("New
Wave Of British Heavy Metal") that burst across the
music scene in the late 70's and early 80's. Dawn Trader
were not only one of the finest examples of this genre
but were very definitely Nottingham's best loved band
and (rather unfortunately) best kept secret. A loyal following
of fans who travelled everywhere to see "their"
band, fantastic musicians, great songs and an unrivalled
stage presence Trader supported (and frequently blew away)
many bigger acts like Def Leppard, Krokus, Raven and Magnum.

| Formed
by writer and guitarist Chris Allard in late 1979 from the
ashes of local band Screw, championed along the way by such
luminaries as Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake and Radio Trent
DJ Graham Neale, the band had a number of incarnations and
line ups during their six or seven year career. |

Not Dead!
Keeping the 'Spirit of 1977' flame burning brightly, old
school punk rockers Verbal Warning release
their highly-anticipated second album, Red Star Radio,
this May. The band, who also throw in some well know crowd-pleasing
covers into their high-energy show, have played all over
the country, including the world-famous Rebellion festival
at Blackpool Winter Gardens in 2008, and 2010 actually
marks the 30th anniversary of the first gig of their original
line-up.

Nimming
Ned
As organisers of the UK’s largest regional
beer festival, it is essential that the acts we
hire tick all the right boxes. With Nimming Ned
you get “exactly what it says on the label".
They are one of the easiest bands I have had the
pleasure of working with. Their stage presence
and interaction with the audience is brilliant.
Their quirky tunes & clever lyrics are well
conceived & put across clearly, to an audience
who thoroughly enjoyed the humour and the banter.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

| ZZ
Hot
We’re
not as good as the real ZZ Top because they are
probably the coolest guitar boogie rock outfit on
the planet ever. It’s impossible to see them
and not have a good time. The charisma, humour,
talent and style just pour off the stage and the
audience love it. While not the ‘cleverest’
of bands - although the songs are deceptively tricky
to learn - they have somehow taken the sound of
a guitar, bass, drums and vocals and infused them
with whisky, hot rods, motorcycles, sex and Mexican
food. They carry this atmosphere around with them
wherever they go and turn every venue into an ‘off
the wall cantina’ from ‘ south of the
border’. Then they tear it up.
|
 |
| We
try to do the same but we’re only mortal. Perhaps
if we had another 40 years to practice we could be
as good but I doubt it. I’ve never seen another
band do it like ZZ Top. |
