Meet your perfect band mate!
Run along the same lines as other 'normal' speed dating events this is a great social ocassion where you can meet others from our community and see if you are destined to be in a band together. Starts at 6.30pm
LIVE on stage - First Timers & Friends
At 8pm we'll clear away the tables and hold live performances from our First Timer community plus some invited friends.
We held the first of these in September and it was a smash hit with a full house of cheering fans and 7 (yes 7!) bands and solo performers. It was an amazing night and we know this one is gonna be a knock-out too. Book your tickets early as this will be fully sold out. Tickets £6/£3, concessions are available.
