Ray Gun Hoodlams Live @Vinyl Cafe Carlisle
When a new band is already gaining interest from record labels with only one official gig and word of mouth then something is surely afoot! Catch a healthy dose of Ray Gun Hoodlams with some magic Beefheart. To qoute the good Captain himself, "Somebody's had too much to think! Open up another case of the punks...."

THURSDAY 11th July 2019 - 7pm - Big Russ Wilkins & Lightnin' Holling 
Live - Beyond The Pane Session. 
hardwicke circus banner
Back in the last century, locked in a remote first world war smallholding overlooking England, Holling and Wilkins first experimented with the ‘Duo-Sound’. Long nights around the range with two trusty Epiphones and tunes from their past led to a collection of songs and stories.
The pair are now taking this collection out on the road (and have played in Dumfries, London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hastings, Inverness, Brussels, Berlin and Cologne) to see how different audiences can change and encourage new songs. A mixture of original songs from their past and present (Milkshakes, Pretty Things, Sally Skull, Wildebeests, Lord Rochester) and others from friends and heroes (Wreckless Eric, Link Wray, Bobbie Gentry, Jimmy Reed).
