And finally, closing the day will be The Chris Bramhall Experience.

The Chris Bramhall Experience is exactly that, a collection of tracks loved by Chris along with a song or two he wrote himself.

Formed by his brother Jamie Bramhall and best friend Rowan Garside, the lineup is completed by Chris' friends and world class musicians, Joe McGuire, Rory Hebblethwaite and Joshua Stephen.
Honorable mention for Toby Matthews who's filled in on drums in the past.

Take a journey with us as we play through some metal classics by Pantera, Down, Crowbar and Superjoint Ritual.

12 years on from his passing we give a glimpse of what Chris was into and what kind of guitarist he was. He could play it all.

Get ready to crank up the humidity, and don't forget to bring a towel!! Because here comes Yorkshire's best dressed heavy grunge / stoner / agit-rock band, with riffs for days, big choruses, and FOUR vocalists.

Damp are back and will be performing a special Alice in Chains set. What more could you ask for?!

Tape Jam, they put the age in riffage!

High school friends who got the band back together after a ‘few’ years to play 'Dad' rock hits we all know.

This video probably explains it all quite well...

One thing I can say with confidence is that Metal Thunder has SUCH a considerate, friendly, welcoming, and polite crowd!!

Been to some gigs recently where I've been dismayed at the lack of gig etiquette shown by a lot of people (especially young men), who push past you just to stand directly in front of you wearing a hat, or who try to force people into a mosh pit they don't want to participate in.

None of that nonsense with us. You can have a mosh if you want but nobody will force you, and nobody will stand directly in the way of a short person without offering to swap places with them either.

Saturday. 1pm until 11pm Bilton Working Men's Club. £3 entry (make sure you have cash for the entry fee, or work out how to split it between the people you're going with). Kid friendly* until it's after their bed time anyway

*Although no legal liability will be accepted by anyone if your fragile little darlings hear some hairy local rock musicians say some naughty words.
