THE CLONE ROSES & THE SMITHS LTD
The infamous Christmas night out with Clone Roses and The Smiths Ltd is back at The Venue on Friday 3 December. These shows have sold out year on year with tickets available now for 2021.
The Stone Roses appeared to have now split up, so for Roses fans there is only 1 option to hear those songs played with the same passion and energy as the real thing. Their attention to detail is second to none, with the band acquiring the same clothing, instruments and usually play the same set as The Roses themselves.
Committed to getting the same energy that Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce had onstage together, the band are also obsessed about getting that live sound just right.

FEROCIOUS DOG
back for another high energy performance, our good friends Ferocious Dog will return to Derby on Sunday 17 October. More than a band, they are a family. “To listen to the Ferocious Dog as it snarls and growls at the world is to show responsibility” said a Louder Than War review of their brilliant, recently released and Fake News And Propaganda album, but this is an outfit that shows compassion too.
