+ THE VERAS + THE HORNETS
CHALK - BRIGHTON
FRIDAY 22nd AUGUST
6pm - 10pm
The Kinks Special Feat: The Kinx + The Veras + The Hornets
The Kinx
It’s difficult to believe but within a year of their first unadvertised gig, The Kinx had headlined theatres, supported original 60’s bands (The Fortunes, Gerry & The Pacemakers & The Move), performed on the main stages of Britain’s top tribute festivals …… and secured a recording contract.
With three albums to their name & endorsement from non other than Dave Davies himself, The Kinx quickly established themselves as England’s premier Kinks tribute act. Now, almost 10 years into their career, they can also boast having their music included in major international film releases and performing as joint headliners with such diverse original artists as Chris Farlowe, Steve Ellis, Secret Affair, The Foundations, Marmalade, Marty Wilde, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Mike D’Abo & The Merseybeats.
Paying attention to every minute detail, adopting the classic early 1960’s dandy, red hunting jacket image, Ray Davies’s timeless classics (including Waterloo Sunset, Lola, Sunny Afternoon, Days, You Really Got Me, David Watts) are performed sympathetically and brought to life by four passionate Kinks fans.
The Veras
The Veras are inspired by all the great music from the 50s right up to about 5 minutes ago, but especially glam rock, punk, new wave, 90s indie and Britpop, The Veras are bringing back the buzz of going to see your favourite band live, jumping up and down and singing along to every song at the top of your voice, and coming out of packed venues soaked in sweat – and not necessarily your own!
The Hornets
A four piece Rhythm & Blues band based in and around London.
We have recently played sold out gigs for The Ealing Club, Ram Jam Records, The Hanwell Cavern, Questors Theatre, The Spice Of Life, Mr Wolfs Bristol, The Crawdaddy Club, Kings Lynn Mini Meet, Slim Jim's Liquor Store, The Isle of Wight Lambretta Day, and multiple other gig venues, pubs, etc
