| Published: 3rd February 2016 12:03 |
On Friday 19 February, at 8pm, The Spring, Havant is hosting one big night of Rock, Reggae and Ska from three great bands based in the South as part of the celebration weekend of the BBC's Get Creative Campaign, to help celebrate regional talent.
The Spring has a bar available and the theatre will be set up with plenty of room for fans to dance along to Three bands from the worlds of rock, reggae and Ska who will all perform original live material.
The Bands:
* Emiliyah and the MightyZ All Stars have been described recently as legends of Portsmouth Reggae prior to their Southsea Bandstand event. They also appeared at Victorious Festival.
* Shooting Fish are a 5 piece punk band from Portsmouth. They play fast melodic punk rock infused with a D.I.Y. ethic and healthy sense of humour.
* Headliner: The Intercepteurs say they are ‘Salisbury's premier intelligentska pop supremos in the Specials/Beat mould with plenty of nods in the playing to the bedrock of the music- Skatalites, Baba Brooks, Millie Smalls et al...via colourful clever pop passages that are totally 2016... uplifting n joyous with it. Add a little Britpop cum psych '60s spice too...'
Tickets are £5 and can be booked by calling the Box Office on 023 9247 2700 or online at http://thespring.co.uk/whats-on/music/night-of-noise/
Meanwhile, those coming to the Night of Noise may also be interested in the small exhibition to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Punk, New Wave by Nigel Brown, which is on display at The Spring now until Thurs 28 April 2016.
In 1976 Punk Rock exploded across the nation. Despite fears about the nihilistic, destructive power of punk, the era represented, for many, an incredible burst of creative energy, the results of which still live with us today. Nigel Brown, The Spring's Operations Manager, displays artefacts of the time to illustrate the impact and legacy of punk. Using memorabilia Nigel Brown looks at the changes brought about by punk and some of its features, including the iconic designs of Jamie Reid, the rise of the independent record companies and the (often hostile) reaction to the new youth music.
