Skate-aid 8, Punk Rock All Dayer Gig!

Skate-aid 8 all day gig

The Scary Clown Presents…

SKATE-AID 8 With Culture Shock

Charity Punk Rock All Dayer @ Mama Lizs

The Scary Clown Presents annual all-dayer is back! Raising funds for Skate-aid and having a raucous time whilst doing it. Expect bands from across the UK, including acoustic acts and some of the best underground DIY bands both new and old. One-off craft beer, vegan BBQ and wall-to-wall good times x   We are so pleased to finally bring headliners CULTURE SHOCK along to Stamford, it’s a band we’ve been fans of for more years than some of you younger ones have been on this planet.

The day starts at 1pm – when we might start the BBQ up in the lower beer garden.  First music is 1.30pm down in the Voodoo Lounge… then after 4 bands some chill time upstairs for food and acoustic session in the main bar’s backroom.  Then at 6pm we return to the Voodoo Lounge for six more full-on bands!

Children welcome to the upstairs part (no tix required for food/acoustic session) – teenagers are good to all with a responsible adult.  Tickets are required for the 10 bands playing down in the Voodoo Lounge.  Raising money for our regular chosen charity, SKATE-AID – helping kids in war-torn and deprived areas across the world play again.

  • I went out last night to watch Wonk drummer Max Hanman’s band [Sid]. I see hundreds of bands year in year out and so rarely does the music move me. I honestly didn’t expect what I saw. For 20 minutes I forgot to fuckin breathe. Not since the formation of Slaves (and then Clowns) have I seen such a perfect set. Crossover hardcore at its BEST. I’m not saying this coz he’s my friend and drummer. I’m saying this to all my punk friends and promoters because you gotta get on these lovely people. It was the best set of this kind of music I’ve EVER seen. PURE HARDCORE PERFECTION. This was like their 4th gig but they play like they’ve been doing it for years. I would have had to up my game last night not to be blown off stage.  I’m so honoured to have Max in my life, thank you so much for reaffirming my faith in music. XxxAlex Wonk

Big Langs’ Virtual BBQ… A Tribute to Matthew Lancaster

Big Langs’ VIRTUAL BBQ…
A Tribute to Matthew Lancaster

*** DUE TO THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS ISSUES – IT WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE FOR US TO BRING YOU ALL TOGETHER AT THIS TIME.  WE HOPE TO  RE-SCHEDULE A PHYSICAL GIG WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.   

BUT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING SOONER – SO ARE ORGANISING A GREAT LINE-UP FOR A VIRTUAL GIG INSTEAD, STREAMING ON FACEBOOK.  IT WILL BE FREE – BUT WE WILL WELCOME DONATIONS AS WE STILL WISH TO DONATE TO THE LOCAL HOMELESS CHARITY THAT MATT WOULD HAVE APPROVED OF ***

Our mate and absolute punk-rock legend, Matthew ‘bomber’ Lancaster passed away on 18th August 2019.   He was always first down the front, first to dance, and last to leave at any punk gig he attended – and he went to a LOT of gigs.   Bands around the world knew him – who could miss the loony with the smile plastered on his face and his special pointy dance, crowd surfing, and just all-round fucking good guy.  We know what he’d want in his remembrance would be a bloody big gig – full of happy people, having a dance down the front in his name.

JOIN THIS FACEBOOK GROUP:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/534391720577300/  as it will be streamed there.  If you join upfront you will receive notifications as each artist goes live with their set.

LINE-UP

Friday 8th May
6.40 Joe Atom (The Atoms)
7.20 Sam Jarvis (Son of Gun/Fuzzy Dunlop)
8.00 Carol Hodge (Crass/Slice of Life)
8.40 Dan Allen (Ducking Punches)
9.20 Andrew Cream (Live from California)
10.00 Selina Martin (Live from Canada)
Saturday 9th May

9.20 Helen Chambers (Misfortune Cookie)
10.00 Dan Goatham (Spoilers)

So we’re joining forces with No Gods No Managers to put on one hell of a show on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th May – no longer can it be the original BBQ & Bands events it was going to be – for obvious reasons.  But you can still do your own BBQ, have a few beers chilled and ready, and join us in the daft chat as we enjoy at least six acts per night!

Matty’s brother Paul suggested it be a fundraiser to support homelessness as this was a cause close to his heart, so it’s going to be that too x – the fund-raiser page is here; https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/biglangsgig

SCP Sammy Kay and Friends for Solidarity Not Silence

solidarity not silence gig final

We return to our 2nd home at the Ostrich for an acoustic fundraiser for a cause which is very important to our DIY Punk scene!  FREE ENTRY BUT £5 DONATION SUGGESTED!

Please note this is a chilled SUNDAY evening gig (20th Oct) – starting earlier than normal at 7pm and ending by 10.30pm.  Not noisy but still passionate – a great gig to bring those who may not be ‘punks’ but who appreciate great singer-songwriters and original music.   The Ostrich Inn is in the centre of Peterborough town centre and has a car park directly opposite the entrance.

All the way from New Jersey USA, Sammy Kay brings his acoustic Jersey blues for your listening pleasure.

Support from Carol Hodge of Crass/Slice of Life playing a solo set of her beautiful and haunting piano drenched melodies.  A welcome return from a good friend of SCP.

Also Arms and Hearts, small in stature mighty of voice, returns to SCP with his acoustic punk tales.

And joining us for the first time; Alice Kat from Boston (Not Boston) brings her melodic soft pop-rock with punk influences, stripped back to acoustic sharing delicate lyrics.

This night will be a fundraiser to support our friends currently involved with the #SolidarityNotSilence campaign. This will be a free gig but we will be asking for donations for the campaign and feel that £5 non-compulsory donation is fair x  Please check the link to understand more about why we are standing with these women.

We Scary Clown’s 100% stand behind the women (some of who are friends) who many feel are being unjustly chased through the courts by someone who certainly does not stand for our DIY scene.  BELEIVE VICTIMS NOT ABUSERS!
