Fred Slater Band at 21:30
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

Headlong at 21:30
Based in Kent's Medway Towns, Headlong are a four piece band playing popular classic rock covers, comprising drums, guitar, keyboards and bass, with all four members taking lead or backing vocals, depending on whose voice suits a particular song, or who shouted loudest in rehearsal. They try to bring you something a little more challenging than other bands playing similar music without being too self-indulgent. Whatever happens, you'll enjoy the mix of music and the content of the sets.
Headlong were formed at the end of 2002 from three members of a function band and a new keyboard player. While enjoying the function work, there was never really the chance to "let go" so it was decided to start things moving with a view to forming a band who could turn it up a little bit and play to the sort of pub-rock crowds that they would normally be a part of.
Once the idea and set lists had been established rehearsals started in earnest in February 2003. It didn't take long for everything to gel and Headlong decided it would be time to search out some work. To do this meant that something in the way of a demo needed to be recorded, so the band ended up at Broadwood Studios in Newington on 13th April 2003, the result being some of the tracks that can be heard in part on our demo page.
In July 2005 Jim (the keyboard player) announced that he would be leaving the band, and after some months of sweating and wondering if we'd be able to replace him, H, Kev and Peter, were joined by Robert Gerrard, formerly of "Moving Pictures". Rehearsals and early gigs with the new line up went well and Robert has now become a permanent fixture.
