AUGUST

Bad Manners

Rock Burger & Sides Night

Thursday 2nd August

Formed in 1976 whilst still at school and signing to Magnet Records in 1980 Bad Manners scraped into the Top 40 with their debut single "Ne-ne-na-na-na-na-nu-nu", a cover of the 1948 song by Dickie Doo and the Dont's.

The follow up single "Special Brew" went straight into the UK Top 10 at the height of the 2-Tone movement and was the first of many anthemic songs for which the band are known.

In 1980 alone they released two more chart topping singles "Lip Up Fatty" and "Lorraine" along with their debut album "Ska 'n' B" and it's follow up "Loonee Tunes". Becoming a constant feature in the singles chart over the next few years with tracks such as "Can Can", "Just a feeling", "Walking in the Sunshine", "Buona Sera", "My Girl Lollipop" Bad Manners are now, in the 21st century, as popular as they ever were in their 80’s heyday and as all Ferry fans know, still fronted by the enigmatic BUSTER BLOODVESSELL, they always deliver a performance second to none!

If you’re a wee bit peckish you can enjoy a quality 6oz burger (90% beef OR Vegi), bun, onion rings, slaw and fries ALL FOR ONLY AN EXTRA £7!

The Johnny Cash Tribute

Friday 10th August

Kevin has a real talent, his voice lends itself seamlessly to the Johnny Cash style, having the same depth of tone and range as the master himself.

Kevin has received praise and standing applause for his live performances as the Man in Black, with die-hard Cash fans commenting that he sounds “more like Johnny Cash than Johnny Cash”. Tonight Kevin is joined on stage by his wife Kathleen as June Carter on seminal Cash tracks like “Jackson” and “Long Legged Guitar Pickin Man”.

Recently, Kevin paid a visit to America, where he wowed the American audiences at his open mic nights where the locals witnessed the transformation from mild Dorset accented English man to Johnny Cash. One audience member was heard to say “Am I on Acid - that sounds amazing!” Whilst playing with a band in Memphis, with players from Stax records, and also Jerry Lee Lewis drummer of 8 years in the audience, Kevin couldn’t get off the stage - they thought he was amazing!

A note from the captain………..

“We have hosted many Johnny cash tributes @ The Ferry over the years, including the “MAN IN BLACK’S ” own backing band THE TENNESSEE 3 and KEVIN is right up there with the best of them”

Don’t miss this one!!!

Party, Pop and Rock
A Trip Through The Decades with 'The Signs'

Friday 17th August

After many requests from Ferry regulars to book this band we thought we should check them out, so we gave them a call and asked them what they could do for us. The answer came back in these words:

“We would provide a solid night of rock and soul classics that your audience would thoroughly enjoy, join in and dance to”

When you come to think about it, that’s exactly what a night at The Ferry should be – enjoyment, joining in and dancing the night away! So we booked them in and don’t expect any disappointment!

MacBlondie

Saturday 18th August

Founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein and originally recognised as a pioneer of the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-late 1970s BLONDIE’s arrival on the commercial market was cast with the release of Parallel Lines in 1978.
Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Rapture" and "The Tide Is High" and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music.

Due to Chris Stein succumbing to a rare disease they disbanded in 1982 and Debbie Harry pursued a solo career while caring for her partner Chris. The band re-formed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in the United Kingdom with "Maria" in 1999, exactly 20 years after their first UK No.1 single ("Heart of Glass").

Retaining a huge fan base the band are as popular now as they ever were and are imitated by talented musicians, worldwide – tonight we bring you Scotland’s Blondie tribute MacBlondie a genuine quality tribute to Blondie!
