Great Live Band Sat 18th April

Looking for a good night out on Saturday?

We are pleased to have the return of THE RAY SUMMERS at the Nottingham house on Saturday 18th April from 9.30pm.

Since just over a year ago, The Ray Summers have had highlights which include performinmg at Glasgow's Hogmany Celebrations in front of 20,000 people in George Square with Idlewild and Paulo Nutini. This was also broadcast live on National TV.

On April 1st they had a session broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 and are currently on a UK wide tour which includes Hinterland Festival, T in the Park and Liverpool's Sound City as well as Alan Mcgee's Death Disco in London.

Here at what has been said about them recently....

'.more fun than Katy Perry and Britney Spears in a pillow fight...' - News of the world - Nine bands for 2009

'But in terms of connecting with the huddled masses, unsigned Falkirk rookies The Ray Summers, plucked to open the gig by public vote, rather stole his (Paolo Nutini) thunder.' - Scotsman Hogmanay Review

"A Real retro feel to this one a band that really are going from strength to strength. I saw them in cracking form at the Wickerman this year. And i think set to be one of the biggest things to come out of Falkirk since Arab Strap. A really cool mix of the Shadows, Small Faces and the Jam" Jim Gellatly BBC

'Support bands can always be a bit hit or miss. Usually a miss. A pain to endure in our impatience to see the headliners. That's probably why a lot of people don't bother turning up to see the support slot at all. Tonight The Automatic's support, proved an exception. Playing to an already suprisingly large crowd, The Ray Summers unleashed their mind boggling, feet shuffling hybrid of psychedelic ska on a load of ****** up freshers. Imagine the Coral back in the good old days playing over the best of Madness if you can. Their set is more energetic than a nursery full of four year olds with ADHD' - Fiona Inglis - The Strathclyde Telegraph

'Spreading a healthy dose of sunshine with songs like crazy world and careless leader they infuse basic indie with soul ,ska and reggae. It's heady, defiantly good-time stuff and, before long, everybody is dancing. Brilliantly crafted tracks like The Valley or set closer The Shepherd have a cool 60's vibe....you know you're dealing with something special. Catch 'em quick' Tim Barr - News Of The World. ***** review

As always its free entry, so get along for a listen and find out why these guys are rated so highly.
