This is what they have to say :-) , and, I quote…

“After a couple of months since our last gig, we thought it was time to climb out of the sea for another gig.

“Since we last left you Alan has been knitting jumpers, Tony has been running up and down hills and I have been mostly collecting stamps so we have been moderately busy.

“We are proud to announce that as well as being joined by the fabulous DeeDee (our very own Burlesque performer) we will be joined on the decks by Ballagroove head honcho and all round good guy Gypo, he will be spinning the warm up set with fellow tag team Dj of Funk and all things nice, Toots. following Dusty’s live set, we will be graced by our very own tour Dj, Darren Millar whose electronic funk filled grooves will see you to the end of play :)

“We will be kicking off at 8pm and Dusty Plankton will be on stage about 10pm, oh and its FREE entry too :)

“Soooo go tell it on the mountain that we are back, we have a few gigs and a few surprises and some great Dj’s joining us on our adventures this year. we hope you all could join us too.”

Ballagroove will be holding a Xmas party at the Bay Hotel, Port Erin on 17th December from 8pm till 12am

Would be great if people could come in Xmas Fancy Dress – of any kind imaginable

Ballagroove DJ’s Gyp and Toots will be playing the music, so usual mix of a bit of everything from Punk to Funk, Soul to Indie, Rock n Roll to Reggae

And …..

For the 6th year running (we think), Ballagroove will be hosting the New Years Eve party at the Bay Hotel Port Erin

This year’s theme is ….

MONSTER RAVING LOONY PARTY

It is, of course, FREE to get in and its FANCY DRESS – fancy dress theme is Monsters, Ravers and Loonys – if you can incorporate all three into one mega-costume then you probably deserve a prize, we’ll try and think of something :-)

Its FREE to get in

Hope to see you there :-)

Support your Local Pub, Bushys is the Islands only Independent Brewery !! – where else can you get a pint of traditional scrumpy for £2.60 a pint :-)

Raise a statue to Frank Sidebottom – Rhysical Pheck Live – 1 October 2011

1 October 2011 1:00 pmto2 October 2011 12:00 am

Frank Sidebottom – Friend of the Isle of Man – sadly passed away last year, his alter ego Chris used to visit the Island regularly either to perform as Frank, play football with Bushys, or, just when he’d popped out for a pint of milk and found himself in the Rovers :-)

In honour of the great man some of his friends / family are trying to raise the money to build a statue to Frank, a fitting tribute, this gig is to help with the fund raising

Our band Rhysical Pheck have been asked to play, so we’ll be playing a short set of about 1/2 hour, few tunes of our new album, one of the last album and a cover of a song by The Gerbils – no idea what time we’ll be on, best bet is to get to the Rovers for 1pm, get a seat and enjoy the day, there will be loads of bands and DJ’s and other entertainment throughout the day and evening

There is a Facebook event if you need more details, you know there is, there really is
