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.

Next Week....

Friday 30th July
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 entry.

Friday 13th August
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. See them on YouTube here
£2.50 entry.
