Ahh, those were the days. Everyone drinking Newkie Brown (you needed a good hard bottle to bang on the table if the band was good), bands like Cyrca, Vardis, Desolation Angels, even Saxon played there when they were called "Son of a Bitch."

I'd just like to add that M3 are not a tribute to Whitesnake, they actually have three original Whitesnake members (Berni Marsden, Mick Moody, Neil Murry) which is more than Whitesnake have.
Years ago Whitesnake were a really good bluesy British rock band, over the years, members left, then David Coverdale (vocals) ended up going to America and hireing a bunch of heavy metal musicians and it's never really been the same since.
M3 Classic Whitesnake is like going right back to the eighties and hearing all those classic songs (Take Me With You, Heart of the City, ect.) played again in the style they were written.
Brilliant stuff! :)

Quaiz,read the Bluetones thread,they wo'nt play cos the butties are the wrong sort,does this sort of stuff go on with heavy rock? My older brother played the zoo by the scorpions at full blast all the time.

Ollie what is the normal hospitality you give the group's for free? I'd have held out for a treble brandy and a game of pool. :) :)

well we learned our lesson with a jazz/ funk band whos name i wont mention who cost us nearly £300 with free drinks so we dont offer anything but always get them a few beers. They dont mind as its such an honour to preform in Burnley. We had a band on a couple of weeks ago at a charity do, and the drummer was brilliant, he was ten years old so we gave him crisps and pop!
