Friday
Rocks!
See here every week for the latest news from the
home of the Herd at the Rock of the North, with lights & smoke
& Rock'n'Roll.

Playing a bluesier set than we normally
hear on a Friday night, "This one goes up to 11" played
The Buffalos on 23rd July to a pretty thin audience. Holidays and
music festivals meant that the guys didn't get the numbers they
deserved for their mix that covered bands from The Beatles to Led
Zeppelin with other classics thrown in for good measure. In common
with a lot of venues, we seem to have been suffering from lack of
bums on seats for the last couple of months compared with usual.
There's a stark message for all concerned; if you want live music,
you'll have to support it or you'll lose it.

The
Alcatraz House Band
Jen
and the boys have picked the original Alcatraz House Band name again
and are with us playing their high energy rock once more. Playing
as Remedy they rocked the joint in March and back again to raise
the rafters at The Rock of the North. Regular performers here since
the club started we've seen some epic shows over the years and look
forward to another blinder tonight. For those that haven't seen
them before, and have doubts whether a woman can front a rock band
- come along and be amazed.
£2.50
entry.
Friday
6th August
Rock
Solid
Almost
the Buffalos House Band, these guys ALWAYS pack the place out and
we look forward to their gigs enormously. Along with a handful of
other bands on the circuit, Rock Solid are obviously mates both
on and off the stage and it shows in their performances which are
never less than 100%. Playing Saxon, UFO, Deep Purple, Y&T and
Free they have never yet failed to rock the roof off the joint and
the banter with the crowd always adds an extra element of entertainment
to the night. If Rock's your tipple, there's only one place to be
on Friday 6th - Houghton Buffalos where smoke, lights & rock'n'roll
are on the menu.
£2.50

The
Fishburn Mafia
Another
new act at The Buffalos Club, these guys come recommended by both
punters and a couple of other bands who have seen them performing
in the area. Here at The Buffs we are always keen to find new acts
to keep the Rock nights fresh and we look forward to seeing these
guys enormously. Described as: The Fishburn Mafia are a rock
power trio from the North East of England
Blending
influences of Classic Rock, Blues, Prog Rock, Jazz, Southern Rock,
Funk, Metal and Punk, The Fishburn Mafia create a sound reminiscent
of many Classic Bands but with their own unique, raw sound.

£2.50 entry.
