Rockin’ Bones – Opening Night!
25 February 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 26 February 2023 @ 12:30 am
Music
We’ve got top horror rockin’ DJs Andy ‘Grimly Fiendish’ Robinson (Misery of Sound/Black Friday in Blackpool) and Dandy Von Diamond (Darkside of the Lune/The Pub in Lancaster)
We will be playing a particular range of music, but are very happy to take any reasonable requests ! Basically we’re going for the following: Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Punk, Surf/Garage, Gothic Punk, Sleazy Metal and general Horror !
(all guitar based R ‘n’ R, no Dalek music !)
Venue
Check out The Pub on Facebook. It’s an ideal venue, a nicely refurbished rock based pub with live bands every weekend and a great new beer garden. We’re in the first floor function room, which has it’s own well stocked bar and toilets. Please drop us a line if you have any mobility issues and we’ll see if we can sort something out for you.
Cost
At the moment we’re hoping to run this night as free entry !
Charity
This is a free event, but we will leave a charity collection bucket on the bar and DJ booth if you feel you want to contribute. There will be strictly no pressure !
Our chosen charity is a cancer one and is down to personal illnesses and losses. I guess many of you will be aware of the tragic loss of Kathy of Manchester’s Rockers shop and Rock ‘n’ Roll Hellkat fame. Hopefully we can all make a small contribution to future prevention.
Appropriately enough we’re going for the ‘Stand Up And Shout’ cancer charity of the late Ronnie James Dio.

Travel
Lancaster is readily accessible by car, bus and train as it’s just off the M6 (junctions 33, or 34) and has a West Coast train line primary station, but the trains do have a hugely annoying habit of finishing early on a Saturday evening.
Staying over?
In that case, what about staying over ? The Royal Kings Arms Hotel, the Crows Hotel and the Ibis are all very nearby and are good prices The Sun, The Royal, The Borough and the Toll House are also worth a look. Booking.com will give you a few more slightly further away, like the Holiday Inn and Premier Inn.
