SUMMARY:RnB: Jon Amor Trio
DESCRIPTION:Jon Amor is the kind of artist who thrives on live music\, he first appeared in 1999 as the guitarist of The Hoax\, immediately leaving his calling card. Both sides wanted more\, and over the years he returned with various line-ups. Now he performs as a trio with Jerry Soffe on bass and Tom Gilkes on drums. \nThe towering Brit is hard to pin down musically. He is a distinctive songwriter who aims to surprise with his music\, whether rock\, pop\, funk\, or blues. With his current band\, he returns to his blues-rock roots. Sometimes it’s raw and powerful\, other times brooding and menacing\, or even danceable and funky. But there is always room for improvisation and his signature solos\, making every performance from this power trio a unique experience. \n\n\nTickets £15\nDoors From: 7.30PM\nShow Starts: 8.30PM (Approximately)\n16+ (Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult)\nUnreserved Seated Event\nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page\n\n\nHow To Buy Your Ticket \n\nBuy Online\, using the box below\nVisit The Forum Reception \nCall us on: 01325 363135\nPlease note our reception and phone line are not always manned especially at busy events\, please see our Opening Hours & Venue Info for more info.\n\nA non-refundable 50p booking fee is added to each ticket when buying online\nOn the door ticket sales are subject to availability and not guaranteed

SUMMARY:The Fire Doors (Tribute to The Doors)
DESCRIPTION:The Fire Doors faithfully bring to life the music of Jim Morrison\, Robby Krieger\, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore; a celebration of The Doors’ six classic albums\, from the brooding psychedelia of the self-titled debut to the bluesy howl of L.A. Woman. The Fire Doors embrace every aspect of this uniquely fascinating band – poetry\, mysticism\, flamenco and jazz all wrapped up as hard-hitting rock\, but with the pop smarts that led to chart-topping singles such as Light My Fire\, Hello\, I Love You and Touch Me. \nThe Fire Doors sees four mainstays of the North East’s music scene (Peter Brewis\, David Brewis and Andrew Moore of Field Music and David Hyde from The Futureheads) coming together to share their first musical love. Their mission now is to help keep the music of The Doors alive. \nThe band are a genuine force and pull the Doors’ hits off with clout and conviction. The result achieves that magic combination of being so tight they almost sound loose.” Daniel Dylan Wray\, The Guardian \n“They’re called Fire Doors. If you see footage of them\, they’re incredible.

SUMMARY:High Fade | Funk/Rock Trio
DESCRIPTION:Funk/Rock trio High Fade –consisting of founder Harry Valentino (Guitar\, Vocals)\, Oliver Sentence (Bass\, Mustache) and drummer Heath Campbell (Drums) has grown from Scotland’s most excited busking band into a household name across the world after bursting onto the scene with viral sensations such as “Burnt Toast & Coffee”\, “Gossip”\, “Burnin’”\, and an audacious cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon”. Sold out tours across the UK\, USA\, and Europe have seen the band get well over 1\,500 shows under their belt\, allowing High Fade to fast become one of the most ferocious touring bands on the planet. \nDelivering shows that are packed with raw energy and jaw-dropping musicianship\, they refuse to accept the limits of what a three-piece band can do.With sold out tours across the UK\, USA\, and Europe; and impactful slots at dozens of festivals like Boomtown (UK)\, Suwannee Hulaween (USA) and Glastonbury –where they performed three times in one day in 2024 –High Fade have come a long way from that street corner in Edinburgh. Drawing inspiration from funk\, rock\, disco\, jazz\, metal\, punk\, soul\, and beyond\, High Fade has developed a sound that explodes out of a rip-roaring melting point of musical influences and tears at the fabric of space time by managing to feel simultaneously fresh and retro. \nFirecly independent\, the band releases music via their own label RPN Records (“Rippin’ Records”)\, including their debut album\, Life’s Too Fast (2024)\, which charted in the UK\, Ireland\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, USA\, and Australia. Not bad for an independent DIY band operating entirely outside of the Major Label system. High Fade’s sophomore LP\, Twice As Nice\, due for release on RPN Records May 2026\, was recorded at two of the world’s most renowned studios\, East Iris Studios in Nashville and RAK Studios in London. The hotly anticipated new album arrives just in time for the band’s massive 50-date Twice As Nicetour that will bring the band to all corners of the USA and Canada this Spring and Summer. \nPlus support TBC  \nHighFademusic.live\nListen On Spotify \n\n\nTickets £22.00\nDoors From: 7:30PM\nShow Starts: 8:00PM (Approximately)\nStrictly 16+\n(Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult\, you may be denied entry if not)\nStanding Event\nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page\n\n\nHow To Buy Your Ticket\n\nBuy Online\, using the box below\nVisit The Forum Reception \nCall us on: 01325 363135\nPlease note our reception and phone line are not always manned especially at busy events\, please see our Opening Hours & Venue Info for more info.\n\nA non-refundable 50p booking fee is added to each ticket when buying online.On the door ticket sales are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
