English punk rock legends SHAM 69 - Tim V bring The Good, The Bad and The Ugly tour to TFC!

With such anthemic like songs as SING WHEN YOUR WINNING making the charts both here in the UK and Europe and other songs in the last 4 years such as LAST GANG IN LONDON / GOODBYE BILLY BLUE / SHOUT and more recently SIGN OF THE TIMES, the band have achieved so much against the tide and are praised for kicking arse onstage at a ripe old age, dumbfounding audiences worldwide with their passion and stage presence!

FFO: S*x Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, Skids

This Halloween, brace yourself for a spine-chilling night as Sleep in Motion and Phoenix Lake shake the TFC stage! 🦇

Sleep In Motion set out a manifesto to craft loud, distorted, groove-laden music that is dynamic and still maintains hooky sensibilities. Upon feasting your senses on the ascending alt-rockers, you’ll find that the rising trio have more than fulfilled their brief.
S.I.M are a band stacked with venom, frustration and aggression which provides an intensely engrossing lyrical base for their musical endeavours.

FFO: Alter Bridge, Three Days Grace, Alice In Chains

Reverent Son bring their blend of late 70’s and modern and progressive rock to TFC with BlackWater Kings and Tales of Perdition

By taking lyrical and song inspiration from cultural references, sci-fi stories, stop frame animation movie monsters, witchcraft, cult followings, supernatural and historical events, the songs take on an adventurous style. Reverent Son entertains live with a haze of riffs, onstage mascots and memorable pop culture quotes.

POSTPONED ⚡ Tattoo Molly ! ⚡ £8 ADV / £10 OTD

'Our skin man Adam Gostick has tested positive for Covid, so in the interests of Adams's health, the other bands as well as the staff and customers at The Fighting C***s we've decided to postpone this show until a later date.

We've spoken to both The Soul Revival and Red Wine Ride and they want this show to happen as much as we do, so we're working together and with the venue to find a date that is suitable for us all to come together and give you guys the Rock n Roll show you deserve.

We understand that there are no rules or restrictions in place with regards to covid. However, we have to do the right thing by everyone. All tickets will be carried over to the new date when agreed upon or they can be refunded by emailing [email protected]

Thanks to everyone for understanding, please help us wish Adam a speedy recovery'

They came from the trees. Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest; Fight or flight. Primal motorik rhythms, the rush of white noise and post-punk angles; an aural onslaught played out on homemade log synths, electrified guitars and sticks beating hell on taut animal skin.

Starting in 2008 as a means to get together to play some songs and sink some jars, it quickly evolved into something bigger. The band has since released a self-funded full length album and an EP on Banquet Records, went on to tour around the UK and Europe, played on some of the finest stages with some of the finest bands in the world, and continues to go from strength to strength! Support TBA!
