Live music fans can look forward to a stomping weekend at The Thirsty Pine Beer Café in Brunswick Road, Gloucester.

On Friday, September 12, Gloucestershire's very own party-rockin'-skank slingers Up the Bug kick the doors off The Pine! Stuffing their bag of tricks with everything from Ska-Punk to Reggae to Rock, bring your dancing boots!

They'll be supported by brand-spankin'-new acid-grunge hellraisers, Pocket Chaos. Entry is free and the music kicks off at 8.30pm.

On Saturday, September 13, your new favourite purveyors of hard-hitting folk Splat The Rat take traditional melodies and give them a modern makeover. With an ear for a sing-a-long and a knack for a catchy chorus, you'll be stomping along before you know it!
