Go West
Go West is an English pop duo, formed in 1982, by
lead vocalist/drummer Peter Cox and guitarist/vocalist Richard Drummie.

Kingdom, they are generally best known in the United States for their
hits "King of Wishful Thinking" and "Faithful".
The band's debut single, "We Close Our Eyes", was released in 1985 and
managed to reach Number 5 on the UK Singles Chart and were voted the
"Best Newcomers" at the 1986 Brit Awards. With other hits such as "King
of Wishful Thinking" and "Don't Look Down" Go West will undoubtably
bring out your 80's disco moves.
Doctor and the Medics
Dr and the Medics were created almost at the dawn of the 80’s, in 1982 by The Rev Dr. Clive Thomas Jackson.
The band has had a very colourful and successful career as both
recording artists and performers. Undoubtedly they are been best known

Million copies world wide and was number 1 in 23 countries!! They are

Mercury
WINNERS OF THE NATIONAL UK TRIBUTE AWARDS 2013
Over 15 years on tour, Mercury is now established as one of the
world's most authentic tributes to Freddie Mercury and Queen. With a
dynamic stage show that fully emulates the true charismatic appeal of
rock's most flamboyant front man backed up by superbly crafted harmonies
and intricate guitar work, Mercury faithfully and accurately recreate
the distinctive Queen experience.
Mercury was formed in 1998 and since then has gone on to play
theatres, festivals and high profile shows across the UK and Europe –
from Holland to Hungary and from Majorca through to the Millennium
Stadium in Cardiff.
Antarctic Monkeys
Formed in March 2006 from a jamming session, the
Antarctic Monkeys became a phenomenon in their own right, travelling the
UK and Europe with numerous tours. The demand is now more than ever.
Firmly established on the tribute scene, their live show has the
power, passion and the creative edge to whip audiences into a frenzy
when delivering the powerful tunes of the Arctic Monkeys as the way they
should be.
Rarely is there a tribute band that can rival the original yet these 4
lads mimic Turner, Cook, O'Mally and Helders style perfectly.
Green Date
The formation of Green Date pre-dates the world
shaking arrival of the album “American Idiot” and the
never-to-be-forgotten “Bullet In A Bible” tour. In that time Green Date
has grown from strength to strength, performing their own mammoth gigs
up to two and half hours in length. Based in Nottinghamshire, Green Date
are one of the finest tribute bands, displaying their talents to fans
across the four corners of the British Isles and further afield into
mainland Europe and Las Vegas, Nevada of which 50,000 Green Day Fans
Attended. Now well established in the nation’s punk circle the members
of GreenDate are all gifted musicians in their own right. However, the
passion and creative edge that comes across in their live shows derives
from their collective love of the band they so closely emulate, Green
Day.
Complete Madness
Complete Madness were formed in 1994 out of a
band called ‘Beat The System’. In 1992 they added a few Madness songs to
their set such as Night boat to Cairo and Baggy Trousers. The band
started doing showcases and signed to an agency and with their growing
popularity began to add more Madness and Specials songs to the set.
In 1994 with the ever changing set becoming more Ska influenced they
decided to change the name of the band from ‘Beat The System’ to
‘Complete Madness’, it was at this point the band really began to become
the band that it is today. It was around this time the bands popularity
really began to grow and they made the decision to quit their day jobs
and go professional.
Complete Madness are now in their 20th year and each year go from
strength to strength, adding new songs to the set such as a Ska version
of Bruno Mars’ ‘The Lazy Song’ and Paulo Nutini’s ska hit ’10 by 10'.
Boomin
Boomin are fun, unpredictable, epic rock n roll
band from Wigan, UK. Since forming Adam, Edd and Rory have been tearing
up the live circuit with the blend of perfect pop rock anthems. Boomin
create a perfect recipe of stadium power pop fuelled epics, all armed
with addictive chorus and hooks a plenty. It’s easy to see why so many
comparisons are made with Green Day.
Quickly establishing a fan base in their native Northwest, word
quickly spread to booking agents and promoters and the band were not
short of support offers. The Script, Scouting for Girls, McFly, N-Dubz,
Ultrabeat, Basshunter, Newton Faulkner, Pixie Lott, Jedward, Craig David
and many more all came calling. They have even collaborated with Newton
Faulkner on an original track.
The Steve Ferringo Band
In force for over ten years, the Steve Ferringo
band have been thrilling audiences on both sides of the ocntinent!
Whatever the occasion this band will deliver the goods. Frenzied and
exciting, it will undoubtably be an unmissbale experience.
As this is the last MCN at Butlitz I was thinking about the music weekends if anybody is interested in them I will ask some questions when we are there.
I see there's a couple of peeps coming up from Devon way who must be passing close by me,,,,long run for you so if you want to stop off for a cuppa (Swindon area) & ride over together (scenic route for me :). Drop me a line.....or anyone else who wants to link up either here or en route. Damn weather isn't looking too good though :-(. Still my weather app is often wrong :-)
Hi JP,,,same time same place. I was even considering going over on Thursday as it looks so much better........see if I get any replies first to share the wet stuff.
Well all I can say is MCN did a fine job of making sure it was the last one they killed it dead poor bands outside entertainment very poor they even drew the golden ticket early so they could get out of there on Saturday night early. Talk about take your money and run. Butlins did a good job on the food + accommodation they looked after us so no complaints with them.
