Live show in which The Gold Needles weave their own original sound into a tapestry of 1960s British rock greatest hits.
The Gold Needles play the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Sunday 25 October, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It's a matinee, so it's one of those gigs you can get to and be home from well before tea.
They describe their show as a high-octane collision of eras, weaving their own original sound into a live tapestry of 1960s British rock greatest hits. The set draws on the melodic genius of The Beatles, the raw grit of The Stones and the sharp wit of The Kinks, so if you've got a soft spot for that era, you'll recognise the ground they're working from. The original material sits alongside those familiar names, rather than separate from them.
The venue is housed inside Wrecking Ball Music & Books on Whitefriargate, a joint venture between Wrecking Ball Press founder Shane Rhodes and concert promoter Gary Marks. The arts centre itself is a first-floor city centre room with a licensed bar and a capacity of 110, and it hosts book launches, spoken word, poetry, theatre, performance, quizzes and film screenings. Downstairs, the shop stocks new and used vinyl, the full Wrecking Ball Press catalogue and an extensive range of books from independent publishers, alongside music and book merchandise and gig tickets.
