Where: The Heritage bar, Kingsholm Road, Gloucester

When: Friday, January 31, from 7.30pm

The UK's number one Bad Manners tribute band is playing a 'special' gig at The Heritage bar in Gloucester this Friday evening (January 31).

The Special Brew are a non-stop, hi-octane party band with a charismatic, tongue-in-cheek frontman backed seven energetic, foot-stomping musicians who pride themselves on supplying a professional, reliable, high quality show.

This eight-piece band is rapidly becoming one of the best SKA Tribute bands in the UK.

The Special Brew were formed after an actual Bad Manners gig in Cardiff by Dan `Busta` and an ex-member. They realised that what was missing from the tribute band scene was the 100% party sounds of a Bad Manners tribute band and so The Special Brew were formed. Admission to the gig is £8.

It was announced earlier this month that The Heritage bar, Gloucester's newest watering hole, is up for sale.
