The Creedence Clearwater Review

Rock Burger & Sides Night

Thursday 6th September

Creedence Clearwater Revival led by JOHN FOGERTY enjoyed a huge number of UK hit singles and albums during the late Sixties and Seventies.

CCR enjoyed nine UK hit singles including a number one with “Bad Moon Rising” and four chart albums including a number one with “Cosmos Factory” – a phenomenal sales record.

Who can possibly forget songs like “Proud Mary”, “Up Around The Bend”, ”Suzy Q”, “Green River” and of course the fantastic “Bad Moon Rising”.

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 £6!

Sinnerboy
A Tribute to Rory Gallagher

Rock Burger & Sides Night

Thursday 20th September

William Rory Gallagher was an Irish Blues Rock guitarist, songwriter and band leader, born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal and raised in Cork. Rory’s sheer, raw talent soon saw him recognised as one of the world’s greatest exponents of the Blues Rock genre. Renowned for his charismatic live performances and dedication to his craft, his career was cut tragically short when, at the age of only 47, he succumbed to liver problems and passed from this earth.

Tonight, our humble tribute to the great man, features the return of Europe’s top Rory tribute band,
SINNERBOY.

In June of 1996, one year after the death of Rory Gallagher, Sinnerboy played their first "TRIBUTE TO RORY" gig in their home town of Manchester. Now, 20 odd years on, and still under the guidance of band leader Barry Barnes, they travel the length and breadth of the British Isles and Europe paying homage to the great talent that was lost to the music industry at such an early age.

The Sinnerboy “Tribute To Rory” has become an annual event on the Ferry’s calendar for one reason only – the show exudes class and is recognised by Rory fans Europe wide as the premier tribute to the music of Rory Gallagher!

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 £6!

DurananDuran

Friday 28th September

There are some very good Duran Duran tribute bands out there who play the songs and play them very well and they all love each others work. However, if you're a tribute to a band from Birmingham who helped launch MTV in America in 1982, were at the cutting edge of an often under-rated pop culture phenomenon and are still one of the biggest bands on Planet Earth to this day, then it needs to be more than just playing the songs.

A band who sold about 120 million albums (when selling plastic was all the rage) and became an influence on everyone from The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Beck, The Orb and The Arctic Monkeys to The Eagles Of Death Metal and dozens of other top bands then you've got a lot of work to do.

DURANanDURAN present an evening of genuine affection for the best boy-band concept since The Beatles. DURANanDURAN are the best DD tribute band on Planet Earth.

60's Party Night
Itchycoo Park with special guests The Kinks Experience

Saturday 29th September

ITCHYCOO PARK
ITCHYCOO PARK invite you to take a trip back with them to the 60's to celebrate the great music of that unique era, with songs by The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who and other UK and US artists.

THE KINKS EXPERIENCE
Made up from members of bands previously promoting original material, The Kinks Experience came together in June of 2015 at Berkeley 2 rehearsal studios in Glasgow.

Founder members bass player and life-long Kinks fan Alan Drover (ex Skelter) and guitarist Peter McClurg (ex The Rhymes and Skelter) had considered the idea for literally years but the right line-up was illusive.

The main challenge was getting the right Ray Davies. When it did happen it happened fast. Peter met Rikki McKay (ex Blackberry Jack and Kinks fan) and a plan was hatched to rehearse 3 songs at Berkeley in mid-June and what was originally an ‘experiment’ was arranged.

That first rehearsal was so successful and the chemistry so explosive that the band were playing their debut sell-out show in Ayr that August as The Kinks Experience.

Drummer Tommy Clark (The Seventh Sons, The Standards) and keyboard player Arnie Burgoyne (Echo and the Bunnymen) completed the line-up and the band have gone on to become one of the most musically and visually accurate Kinks tribute acts in the country.
