Two Englishmen, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walk into a bar. The barman says “Are you the band Zadok?” We reply “F*ckin Rights man, let’s Rock!” With a classic rock line up of guitar, bass, keys, drums, and harmony vocals, ZADOK, the Northeast’s finest purveyors of Progressive Grunge-folk are available for everything from whimsical folk occurences in the meadow to remorseless all day prog grinds in the basement!

Gluefactory returns this Friday 7th of October. This month promises to be very exciting with the return of the mighty Zadok. Anyone who attended our opening party and/or Clive Aid (the opening party for our studio) will know how great they really are. They are supported by Winona Forever with an acoustic set. Come nice and early for the bands, but bring your dancing shoes for Rocking Horse DJ’s later on who are spinning a Sub Pop Special!

On 16th September, Rocking Horse Rehearsal Rooms introduce Atic Atac, a new monthly Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Reggae night at The Fishtank, with a touch of electronic stuff thrown in for good measure. The opening night will see a DJ set from Zero dB (Ninja Tune Records), plus live performances from The Click (one of the North East’s premier hip hop groups) and CornuTe (who anyone present at Clive Aid will certainly remember).

Admission is free and we will be using our 1600w PA for this event!

Gluefactory returns this Friday 2nd of September. Last month kicked things off nicely, although there were a few sore heads the next morning. This month we have more new local bands for your listening pleasure. We’re happy to announce young Durham band “Mexican Tea Party” will be performing live and “Jim John” will be performing an acoustic set of his material. Come nice and early for the bands, but bring your dancing shoes for rocking horse DJ’s later on.

“Delightful Absurdities and Mangled Memories” is a collection of brand new, original hand drawn artwork from international artist Bruce Parker aka Brucey.

Brucey’s work is a chaotic, euphoric, light-hearted, nostalgic trip littered with familiar characters, brands and products past and present. All created using black and white paint markers to create an almost vectoresque high contrast style.

For this show Brucey has produced work with complex composition whilst still managing to remind the viewer of a so-called simpler time.

Anyone who attended Clive Aid or has been in our back room since, have been blown away by the live work Brucey did here. (Check out this picture if you haven’t seen it yet). If we can get time away from The Horse we will certainly be attending.

THE FISHTANK, NEVILLE STREET, DURHAM CITY, DH1 4EY

DOOR PRICE £5

After the success of our opening night, we’re currently looking for one or two bands to play our 2nd monthly slot at The Fishtank on 2nd September. If your interested in playing please email rockinghorserehearsalrooms@gmail.com with links to your music etc.

If you have a gig in Durham and would like to be included in the listings, or if you would like to review an event that was on in Durham (you can’t review your own night though!) its dead simple. Just send an email to wowbodurham@gmail.com or twitter @wowbodurham. For reviews the only thing we ask is you keep it 200 words or under, include your name and be nice. If you don’t like something don’t review it. Remember this is a new listings and reviews magazine and is distributed around Durham’s bars, clubs, shops, etc. The magazine is a collaboration between 7 people, so we can’t 100% guarantee your review/listing will be included but if its interesting enough and especially if its independent, it should work its way in.

If you haven’t managed to pick up a copy from Durham yet, you can view it online here.

You can find a printable version here.

Here is The Girl From Winter Jargon live from Gluefactory on Friday night.

You can find more Winter Jargon here

This month The Crack ran a story on Rocking Horse Rehearsal Rooms. Giddyup!!

Tonight is the opening of Rocking Horse Rehearsal Rooms 1st club night ‘Gluefactory’ at The Fish Tank in Durham. We have live music from Club Of Rome (who smashed Clive Aid earlier this month) and The Girl From Winter Jargon. We’re getting a lot of positive feedback from a few who have seen Winter Jargon and from those who have had a listen since we posted the link. We think that they’re both great and are looking forward to them opening proceedings for us, taking us through till about 11pm. Then we’ll have Rocking Horse dj’s playing late into the night.

Doors open at 8pm (bands on somewhere between 8-11) and tonight its FREE ENTRY! We will be bringing our 1600w PA along as well. Hope to see you all there. Its going to be a good one!
