Free 18+ night of rock 'n' roll from The James Oliver Band at Billy Bootleggers, followed by the house DJ.
The James Oliver Band play Billy Bootleggers on Friday 6 November, with doors opening at 20:00 and the band taking the stage from 21:00. The night is presented by the venue, which you might still know as Percy Picklebackers — it's at 13-15 Weekday Cross, NG1 2GB.
They describe themselves as a dive-bar act that plays fast rock 'n' roll, pulling from blues, rockabilly, rock and country. The organisers call it an 'explosive pickin' package', which gives you a fair idea of the sound: guitar-led, high-energy, and leaning on those roots rather than anything polished. It's the kind of set that fits a dive bar, so the venue here makes sense.
The band is the only act on the bill, and they're followed by the house DJ, who keeps the floor going until 3am. So if you're in the mood to stay on after the music stops, you can.
