Well that’s this years Christmas party sorted. Where better to spend December 23rd than with a Midlands music royalty triple bill that has got us bouncing off the walls in excitement. The eight legged groove machine from Stourbridge that is Wonder Stuff are celebrating 30 years since their first rehearsal with a tour and the pledge funded album ’30 Goes Around the Sun’. Yes we did say 30 years, hard to believe isn’t it? If only we were all back in the dingy darkness of Dudley JB’s pretending to be 18. BRA will be parking their irresistible beats in your ears and sorting you out. Not dancing? No chance! This gloriously Midlandish festive pop triumvirate is completed by pink noise priestesses Fuzzbox. What a line up. What memories. Will sell out quick so move fast. The evening will be hosted by Janice Long.
