Sat 14th. sept
Starting at 7.00pm promptly, with its signature packed-to-the-gunnels line up, this extraordinary evening is a tribute to the Cogwarts standard of 'More Steam for your Shillings!' So come and dance the night away to the finest Steampunk performers in the gloriously strange Steampunk cosmos...
Fabulously familiar upbeat songs from this band of very talented musicians. Playing Cogwarts again by poular demand, they filled the dance floor last time. Believe me, they get even the most reluctant of toes a-tapping!
