Firstly, happy new year to members new and old and everyone who has visited the club over the past year.
Unfortunately, as most of you will know, the club's president, Eric, sadly passed away recently. We are sure he will be missed by everyone and our thoughts go out to his many friends and family.
In other Bellhouse news, tickets are now on sale for the Help for Heroes charity night on Thursday 28th January, priced at £5. Please contact the club direct for tickets. It looks set to be a brilliant night and will feature Coyote, Stagefright and due to Vamp being unable to make it, a special Bellhouse band will get together for one night only featuring plenty of members from bands you will all know such as Rock Legacy, Top Gun and Guitar Heroes (amongst others!).
Lastly, if you have any Bellhouse news you would like to go on the website, please email me on carlwragg89@hotmail.com and I will do my best to get it up for you. (this is due to me not being able to attend the club as often as I used to go to get the information).

Last night, the club rocked to the excellent Infinity, who stood in for Stagefright who unfortunately had to cancel due to an injured guitarist (get well soon John!). The club was also paid a visit by local music photographer Damian Twigg who captured some excellent shots of the band. The shots can be seen on his website here and one of the pictures is featured below. If your band wishes to get some great photos taken at your Bellhouse gig, get in touch with Damian via his website and see what he can offer.

A great month of entertainment awaits you as always for May (full gig listings to be announced shortly). One thing to take particular note of is the inclusion of 2 major tribute bands.
The first being Floyd 2 who bring their epic Pink Floyd tribute show to the club on Saturday 16th May, whilst the excellent Essential Journey make their Bellhouse debut on Sunday 24th May (no work Monday coz it's Bank Holiday!) for all you Journey fans. We can't wait for these gigs and look forward to seeing you there!
Remember, Bellhouse never charges entry for it's gigs, so you can enjoy the entertainment... and spend the savings on extra beer!!

Meet Bellhouse' Rock Idol!!

A couple of weeks ago, Bellhouse played host once again to the awesome ROCK LEGACY. The gig also coincided with the birthday celebrations for club regular and top rock fan Steve who enjoyed celebrating his 18th birthday for the 32nd year in a row! What a way to celebrate your birthday the night became... the band invited him up to sing and take the frontman position on one of his favorite songs, Sweet Child o Mine, and he performed a belter, gaining a standing ovation from the audience.
Rock on Steve, happy birthday mate!
Check out these photos from the night!

Their replacements will be taken care of by the brilliant lively 3-piece girl group SISTERMATIK tonight, whilst New Years Eve sees the awesome WHIZZ KID return to the club.

A few changes have taken place with the committee at the club recently, and we now have a new concert secretary, Neil, who will be making all the bookings for the club. Friday rock nights WILL still be continuing as they have for the past 18 months, so dont worry about that!
Neil isn't available online so if you want to make enquiries about playing the club etc. please send them to me via carl@bellhousewmc.co.uk , with a contact phone number, and i will pass it on.
If you believe your band is booked at the club but aren't sure about whether it has been confirmed (this mainly applies to bands without an agent, such as most of the ROTN associated bands), please get in touch with the Alan Wood Agency or call in the club and ask for Neil (concert secretary).

Due to unforseen circumstances, Freshly Squeezed (formerly 2 Lyons) will now appear at the club this Saturday instead of The Tourettes, and Billy Black band will now be playing on Friday 28th September instead of Meltdown.

Many line-up changes have been taking place recently in clubland bands and two major changes are happening within bands that frequent the Bellhouse.
Firstly, after 5 years of service to the mighty Alcatraz, drummer Christian Hayes has decided to call it a day with the band and move onto other things. Christian's last gigs with the band are this weekend (check out their website for details), so unfortunately he won't be making any more appearances at Bellhouse with them. So we wish him all the best with any future musical ventures he has! Also, good luck to Alcatraz in finding a replacement drummer and we'll see you back at the club soon!
Secondly, ace classic rock band Mr Chief have seen 2 members move on to other things. Best of look to guitarist Stevie and bass player Beef for the future! The band are now sticking as a 4-piece and have recruited the talents of Joe Pastrami on the bass. His first gig with the band will be this Friday, the 13th July and we are all looking forward to witnessing the start of this new line-up and new venture for Joe. Good luck and see you on Friday!
We have just added a few new links to our links page, please check them out (Red Mosquito, Clubland Rockers and Diane Parkin's Gig List). If you are in a band or have a club/music related website and would like a link putting up, please email webmaster@bellhousewmc.co.uk with the details and i'll sort it out!

Well it's been a while but the Bellhouse website seems to be stable and working as it used to. Thanks for your patience during the down-time and also special thanks to Rock of the North and Diane Parkin who continued to publicise our gig guides and keep people up to date with the club.
June has undoubtedly been an excellent month for Bellhouse with some first rate entertainment every weekend. The rock nights have seen the Billy Black Band kick the month off followed by consecutive gigs from the club's favorite two bands - Alcatraz and Rock Legacy. Last Saturday also saw a debut appearance by the young Barnsley band, Kanvas, who proved to be a major success. Friends of the club and excellent AOR band Infinity rocked the club last night whilst comedy favorites Fritenite can be seen again at the club next Sunday (24th). Next weekend also features the debut for top Thin Lizzy tribute band TWIN LIZZY on Friday (not to be missed!!) whereas Saturday we will welcome back the excellent Buzztones.
The site will undergo the final stages of getting everything back to normal within the next few weeks so stay tuned for all the photos etc as well as an update to our links page.
See you all next weekend!
