•  A new item!  We have now introduced a ‘Forthcoming Local Events’ section to the website ‘EVENTS’ page.  Feel free to send us details of your band’s upcoming gigs and we will endeavour to include them.

 

 

15th June 2008 -

 

• Covabilly Lounge is well and truly on the UK Rockabilly map!  It’s first event held last Friday proved a resounding success with fans travelling from all over the Midlands (and beyond) to see top Rockabilly band The Hicksville Bombers.  Many thanks to all those who came and in particular The Hicksville Bombers and DJ Rollin Rock who put on a brilliant show!

 

•  A new feature of the website is the introduction of a ‘GALLERY’ page.  Why  not pay it a visit and see if you can spot anyone you know in the ‘Fanscene’ section?  If you have pictures you would like included the simply send them to us via the ‘CONTACT’ page and we will see what we can do to include them;

 

•  A surprise welcome guest at Friday’s Gig was Roddy ‘Radiation’ Byers of top band Skabilly Rebels. Great to see him.  Here Roddy is pictured with Eager Beavers’ Vocalist/Guitarist Dave;

• Great to announce that since launching the website seven weeks ago it has received over 400 hits!  In addition Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll fans from all over the UK have been in touch, many hoping to make the first event on Friday, 13th June when The Hicksville Bombers will be playing at The Albany Club, Earlsdon, Coventry;

 

•  Another scoop is that we have managed to book  Jack Rabbit Slim!  The band will be playing at The Jaguar Social Club, Chorley Way, Radford, Coventry on Friday, October 24th.  Make Friday the 13th your lucky day by taking this chance to see another great UK Rockabilly band!

 

•  Remember to keep in touch with the website.  Hopefully we will be introducing a photo gallery soon when we will be showing pics taken at our first event.

 

•  Finally, a call to all  Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll bands.  Send us an mp3 of one of your tracks and we will try to feature it on the website MUSIC page.

 

 

 

2nd April 2008 -

 

•  Welcome to this brand new website, dedicated to preserving original, authentic  Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll in the Midlands.   It’s aims include  -

 

•  Bringing enthusiasts together on a regular basis;

 

• Giving local bands the opportunity to perform and ‘showcase’ in front of dedicated Rock n’ Roll / Rockabilly fans;

 

• Promoting authentic Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll music at every opportunity;

 

•  Providing members with an opportunity to see bands who rarely play in the Midlands;

 

 

Being new there will inevitably be additional aims as members’ views become discussed and acted upon.

 

 

Membership of the Club is free and open to all.

 

We hope you enjoy the website.  It has been designed to enable easy access to information relating to the new club.  The purpose of each page can be described as follows -

 

WELCOME - a short newsletter keeping members updated on developments and forthcoming events organised by the club.

 

MUSIC - provides an opportunity to hear Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll tracks produced primarily by local bands.  Bands from outside the area will occasionally be featured.

 

EVENTS - information on forthcoming events organised by the club.

 

LINKS - providing easy access to other sites having connections with the club and Rockabilly / Rock n’ Roll music.  As with all pages this section will be regularly updated.

 

CONTACT - enables members and non-members to send in comments, suggestions and ask questions relating to the activities of the club.

 

It is hoped that eventually we will be able to add a page dedicated to videos and photos of club meetings, activities and bands performing  at club meetings.
