Bugbear’s Rock And Roll High School straddles the alterno pop Universe that is London. We, your ever eager masters, are always keen to further your education. All we ask is that you pay attention in class, don’t bully one another and come along and pay on the door at our study centres for extra curricular fulfilment.

And contrary to the gossip doing the rounds in the common room, we really don’t want to have to call you in to the head’s study for a reluctant whack across the buttocks with an oversized drum stick when you’ve been naughty, and we wouldn’t seek to oil you up with bees wax as we weren’t doing that either…so stop chattering please, have your notebooks at the ready and compare and contrast these topics……

Liverpool’s baroque beat psychedelcists of Arrowe Hill continue to make a mind streching blend of The White Album, The Las and The Pretty Things…and that’s just scratching the surface…see them a l’acoustic in The Constitution Feb 10th and The Dublin Castle March 9th…God Bless Lord Kitchenknife and all his crew..

Young, in love with rock and roll and in love with one another, the incredible Nomadics take The Misunderstood and The Count Five and give them a thoroughly British post everything nonchalance that is charming in extremis. ‘Got No Money’..sounds about right..Luv it…Dublin Castle Feb 23rd
