Shameful Behaviour at 21:30
Shameful Behaviour is a band on a mission.
That mission is to spread real rock music back to the masses,
and we'd love all you good people to help us out!
The music is a concoction of Rock, Metal, and punk
with screaming lead guitar and songs that tell a story or have meaning.
With an awesome stage show,
the band plays a mix of original songs and well chosen covers,
and is equally happy playing in a small pub or a festival stage.

Dead Calm at 21:30
Dead Calm were formed in 1996 after the breakup of the extremely popular local band, The Lost Boys.
The original lineup was as follows: Alan -Guitar & Vocals, Graham -Bass & Vocals, Pat-Guitar & Vocals, Paul -Drums, Mark -Sound & Lights
Over the next two years, Pat left due to musical differences and Paul was replaced by Chris Brambleby, thus making us a trio.
Pete Prescott (the former Lost Boys singer) was then drafted in to provide a focal point and extra vocal power.
Chris left and was replaced by Jason Smith who provided a technical edge to the rhythm section.
Since the addition of Pete & Jason, the band had steadily grown in popularity, to the point where we were 90% of the way to being as popular as the old outfit.
Unfortunately, this all came to an end when Pete left in Oct '00. However like a phoenix from the ashes, we're back again with the addition of me on acoustic guitar and Liz & Julie providing extra vocal poke! Alan does the warbling now and the band are doing recent material, but most important of all, we're all still having fun!!

An afternoon Garden event. Fred Slater Band are a three-piece blues/rock band performing cover versions of songs from the 60's to the 80's. Songs by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rory Gallagher and Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, to name a few. Depending on the booking, we have a 'party' set which offers some great foot tappers, or a more blues orientated set for more serious music fans. The band has been around in a different line up for a few years, achieving stardom in Norway. Guitarist and singer Tony Gooda was even interviewed on Norwegian radio! The last year has seen the present line-up, where Tony is joined by Jeff Schofield on bass, and Phil Lovett on drums, perform at a few venues around the Ashford area. The plan is to increase the number of bookings and try to achieve that level of fame the other guys managed!!
