BLACK CAT BONE
FRIDAY 18TH APRIL 2025 | 8PM | 14+
Do you believe in Rock 'n' Roll?
Do you believe in the hoodoo of the Black Cat Bone?
Since the day that lucky charm was tossed aside by the ghost of Maggie McGill, swallowed by a whiskey bottle drowning in salt water and then coughed up on the Leith shoreline, it has been rooted in those muddy waters like a timeless groove, coiled, omnipotent, waiting ...
Discovered down by the water, reflecting on the endless bridge, the hoodoo blues legacy was mutated and perpetuated. Louisiana hot sauce with salivating mouth harp blues, deep drilling bass and drums that hit the vein of your soul and hot, hot guitars weaving incongruous licks like poison ivy round the tree of convention. They will make you thirsty like lizard skin and shake like a rattlesnake's tail. If you need to satisfy your hunger for good taste and you want the best, then drink deep from this well, my friends. A path will light up before your eyes and will have Black Cat Bone coming for you.

The Sensational David Bowie Tribute Band is the UK’s premier tribute to David Bowie. Witness firsthand all the glamour, passion, excitement and sheer electric atmosphere of the archetypal 1970’s Bowie Experience. All the early material is covered, in its wonderful, melodic, quirky, eclectic, yet easily accessible majesty. From the throbbing, sweeping Width of a Circle, through the colourful piano-driven material of Hunky Dory, the crucial era-defining Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane albums, to the decadent malaise of Diamond Dogs and beyond, you need look no further. It’s all here. This unique act conjures up the blissful illusory experience of witnessing first-hand the magic of a heyday Bowie concert. All of the huge hits are there. Nothing is missing. If you want to connect with Major Tom and become mesmerised by Ziggy, the Kabuki styled Aladdin and the Macabre Halloween Jack, look no further. Don’t go seeking it elsewhere; this is the only act that cuts it.
