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
| 1 October 2011 1:00 pm | to | 2 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

Ballagroove DJ’s with Live Acts -"CampStar” and “Dub Fellaghs Sound System”
Saturday 25th June 2011
8pm to Midnight
Bay View Hotel, Port St Mary
FREE Entry / FANCY DRESS
We’ve been invited by the good folk at Dirty South to DJ again at The Bay View Hotel, Port St Mary
This time instead of adding Live Surf and Harp to the mix we’ve got Live Blues and Electronic Dub - variety a go go !
"CampStar" are basically an acoustic duo featuring compositions from Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite. Suzy plays acousto-punk with a couple of powerful ballads, empathetically inspired by the human condition... Simon is developing an acoustic set ready for his next album. Tracks to date feature stomping blues and some majestic acoustic pieces.
Providing us with some smooth Ambient Electronic Dub will be “Dub Fellaghs Sound System” (a pseudonym for one of Ballagroove’s regular artists) as another warm up for their set at Mannifest Festival in August - the last gig at the Bay Port Erin was Dubtastic so we are well excited to welcome them back.
Ballagroove DJ’s will be playing the (un)usual mix of Funk, Soul, Reggae, Indie, World Music, 60’s pop, Boogaloo, Jazz, Psych - in other words there will be a wild mix of stuff played J, there will be no Coldpl*y, U* or Beyon*e that’s fer sure 
FANCY DRESS theme is 'Happy Campers' so basically get dressed as if you were going to Glastonbury - crazier the better
The last party down the Bay View was real fun with a great crowd and some top freaky dancing, lets hope we can do it all again !
Support Local Music and Support Your Local Pubs !! - FOR FREE
| 28 May 2011 8:00 pm | to | 29 May 2011 12:00 pm |
Just for fun, Shaun Hogg of Boss H Soundsystem will be bringing his great reggae tunes down to Port Erin for a Soundclash with Ballagroove who will be playing their favourite Funky breaks. Alternate funk and reggae tunes all evening.
