Carnegies

Carnegies are back at The Blacksmiths Arms on Saturday 1 May, one of several dates they've got lined up in St Albans this year. They're a five-piece covers band, and the set they bring to the pub is a varied one — they pull from a wide range of songs rather than sticking to one particular era or style, so you'll hear a good mix across the night.

If you've seen them before, you'll know how they work. As a five-piece, they've got enough on stage to keep things full, and they're known for a live set that doesn't just stick to one gear. It's a covers act, so the songs will be familiar ones, but the variety is the point — they don't just lean on one genre, which means the set changes shape as it goes along.

This is one of four confirmed dates they have at The Blacksmiths Arms in 2027, so if you can't make this one, there are others to choose from. It's a regular spot for them, and they'll be playing the same venue throughout the year, with each night following the same format: a varied set of covers from a five-piece band. If you're after a night of live music that doesn't stay in one place, this is a good bet.

The gig starts at 21:00, so it's a later one — a proper Saturday night out rather than an early evening affair. With four dates in the diary for the band at the pub this year, it's one of those regulars you can keep an eye on if you're out in St Albans on a Saturday.
