Plans for the biggest showcase of local bands Lurgan has ever seen are well underway. "Captain Kennedy's King Biscuit Hour" is scheduled to take place next Friday, June 12th in Barista at the Centrepoint Complex with all proceeds being donated to charity.
A number of high profile bands from across all genres have been signed up for the event and the line-up will include (in no particular order) Sinocence, Trucker Diablo, Captain Kennedy, Master Exploder, Iceman mcCann, Who's Joe? Silvercord, Gerdie Leathem, Baz McSherry and Dusty Miller from Germany. Headliners on the night will be Derry band Swanee River who have recently confirmed a number of high profile support slots across the UK with the likes of The Answer, Taste and UFO.
Local comedian Sean Hegarty has agreed to host the night and all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Ulster Cancer Foundation. Derek Brennan, new manager of Barista, has kindly offered the use of the 500+ capacity venue free of charge. Tickets for what is sure to be one of the highlights of the local music calendar are available from Barista, The Ceili House or any of the band members playing on the night. Tickets will also be available on the night of the gig. Doors open at 7pm with the first act performing at 8pm sharp. Minimum donation is £5.
QuoteThis is the chance to re-imagine one of the greatest rock films ever. The Last Waltz, was a farewell concert from The Band, recorded on Thanksgiving Day, 1976. The event was a checklist of roots, rock and Americana, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood and Dr John.
It marked the demise of the original Band line-up, an emotional goodbye after 16 years on the road. Songs like The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, The Weight, and It Makes No Difference, still resonate across popular music.
The artists for this event will include: Captain Kennedy, Jackson Cage, Katie Richardson, Ten Gallon Hat, John Shelley and the Creatures, The BBCs Gerry Anderson and more names TBA.

QuoteA security guard at a Lapland-style theme park criticised by visitors as "hell" and a "scam" said he resigned because he was "ashamed to work there".
Adrian Wood worked in the security hut at Lapland New Forest which opened on Friday on the Hampshire-Dorset border.
He said he resigned after seeing a family take their mother out of a hospice to make the most of what could be her last Christmas.
Mr Wood also said he and other staff had been attacked by irate visitors.
More than 2,000 people who paid £25-£30 for tickets to the park near Ringwood have officially complained.
Hundreds of people want refunds and are calling for the closure of the attraction, complaining it does not resemble marketing images on its website.
Santa got attacked, one of the elves got smacked in the face and pushed into a pram

The website became unavailable on Monday afternoon, but has since been republished with different pictures.
Trading standards officers said they had visited the site but do not have the power to shut it down.
"I quit late Sunday afternoon due to all the events that have been going on, the complaints and the violence towards myself and to other members of staff," Mr Wood told BBC News.
"But what put the final icing on the cake for me to walk out, was a family had taken their mother out of a hospice for cancer patients, who wasn't expected to see this Christmas.
"So they decided to bring her to Lapland to see the Christmas show.
"On getting there they found it difficult to get access with the wheelchair with the mother.
One visitor said the nativity scene had everyone she met laughing
"They were in a queue for nearly an hour-and-a-half in the pouring rain waiting to see Santa.
"If they'd stayed another two to three hours they would have seen him, but unfortunately the queues were that long it was ridiculous."
He said he felt "very, very sorry" for people who had visited the park.
"They have been ripped off," he said.
In the three days that he worked there he said he was "inundated with complaints".
"Santa got attacked, one of the elves got smacked in the face and pushed into a pram.
"I was punched in the forehead in the ticket office by an irate customer.
"I was ashamed to work there, really, really ashamed."
The theme park's website had shown pictures of snowy "winter wonderland" scenes and icicles.
Many people said they were disappointed by the Chistmas market
It also promised real log cabins, a nativity scene, husky dogs and other animals, as well as a "bustling" Christmas market.
Hundreds of people have complained to the BBC about the park since the weekend, saying the animals looked unhappy and huskies looked thin and were chained up in a pen.
Other facilities, including a broken ice rink, were poor, they said, describing the site as a "scam", a "joke", "disorganised chaos" and "hell".
Tickets cost £30 for individuals, £25 for each person for families of four or more, and £10 for children under two years old. Many said they had spent £150 for a family to visit.
Some complained they then had to pay more to use some of the facilities once inside the park.
Meanwhile, East Dorset District Council has stopped the sale of alcohol on site because an application for a licence had been granted but was not yet in force.
The RSPCA said it was investigating after receiving a number of complaints.
Henry Mears, who organises the park's marketing and advertising, told the BBC on Monday: "We don't believe we ripped anyone off. What is not here that we haven't advertised?"
He blamed "a few groups of professional troublemakers" for the allegations over the attraction.
Mr Mears has not been available for comment since Monday morning.
Unsatisfied customers have been advised by Consumer Direct to consider taking the matter to county court if writing a letter is unsuccessful.
The government-funded advice service has received more than 2,000 complaints about the theme park.
