Come along and support this charity gig in aid of fund raising to save the wall of the Coventry Cathedral ruins. A large crack has appeared in the south-west corner of the Cathedral Ruins next to Bayley Lane. Urgent repairs are needed before the cold weather arrives to prevent the damage from worsening.
The cracked wall will need to be dismantled and re-built and the estimated cost is between £60,000 and £70,000. The Cathedral has no funding to enable this to happen and is urgently seeking support from businesses and members of the public.
Advance tickets cost just £5 and goes towards the fundraising effort as well as allowing entry to the venue's club night immediately after the show. Tickets can be purchased from the Kasbah, HMV store or direct from the bands.

Present day 2011 sees the band still playing in an eclectic mix of venues; ranging from the small local shows to huge festival crowds around Great Britain and Europe. No matter what size the venue or crowd, the energy and passion stays the same. The band recently finished playing to their biggest ever crowd of over 7,000 hardcore live music lovers at ‘Glastonbudget'. A very special show indeed.
Supported by Flesh Eating Foundation borne out of the static and white noise! We're talking electro punk for misfits and horror junkies. ‘So yeah'... anger is in the air. What else would you expect from a band formed in the grim and grey suburbia of the UKs Midlands?
Over 14's welcome, under 14's must be accompanied by an adult. Doors open at 8PM. £5

Supporting we hve Rugby/Nuneaton funksters Making Maisie. Born in the earliest days of May, Making Maisie is a three piece band with high hopes and aspirations. Focusing on Blues and Funk, they still try to keep their music modernised which gives the songs a unique and an interesting feel.Making Maisie are bringing a form of music which has become almost benign back to the forefront and adding their own unique style to the mix, without a doubt this band is new, exciting and here to stay!
Opening up we have Rugby's newest dirty blues sensations One Eyed Jack. They describe themselves as "Traditional British Musical Duo of Dapper Gents, Playing Raw, Real and Relentless songs that are filled with catchy hooks, filthy riffs, silky harmonies and energy!" These boys really are not to be missed!
