Absolva – Live
The mighty Absolva bring their 'JUSTICE' tour to Skipton on Thursday October the 30th.
Since beginning in April 2012, Manchester (UK) hard rock / melodic metal band Absolva have carved out an enviable reputation as one of the hardest working bands around – instantly recognisable, delivering six highly-rated studio albums, and attracting critical praise from many sources...
Doors: 19:00 | Absolva: 20:00 | Tickets: £10
Pretty Shivers – Live
Pretty Shivers are a five-piece rock band hailing from Darwen, Lancashire.
Expect them to be playing original material with an unmistakable retro feel, combining elements of rock & roll, power pop, Americana, country and soul.
Pretty Shivers don’t look or sound like your typical Northern Rock band. Although they hail from the dark, misty valleys of Darwen, Lancashire, you’d be forgiven for eyeballing the flares, leather jackets and haircuts, and placing them at Los Angeles’ sunset strip in the 1970s. However, don’t mistake their flamboyant attire for style over substance, as they maintain a down to earth, steely Northern grit and attitude.
The band’s sound also has an unmistakably retro feel, combining elements of rock & roll, power pop, Americana, country and soul.
Start time: 16:30 | FREE ENTRY
HAWKLORDS – Live
HAWKLORDS are heading to the Sound Bar on the 20th of November
Described by the band as ‘a coda’ to the ‘TIME’, ‘Space’ and ‘Relativity’ concept albums, HAWKLORDS’ 2025 album: ‘FAITH’, examines aspects of the human metaphysical world and ties together ‘loose strands’ from the TSR trilogy. Designed to be much more of a cinematic audio release, this album delivers a blend of soundscapes and thought-provoking songs which have all been crafted to give the listener a completely immersive space-rock experience...
Doors: 19:00 | HAWKLORDS: 21:00 | Tickets: £19

The Last Dinner Party - From The Pyre (Inferno Edition)
The Last Dinner Party on the new album: “This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light.
