Riff Taff Promotions second rock and metal night at The Gunners pub, Highbury. This is a free entry event with buckets for band donations in the venue.

Headlined by Barbora - Originally from Slovakia, but now based in London. If you are a fan of Opeth the chances are you will love Barbora. Support comes from two cracking young London metal bands in the form of Suffer No Fools and Orpheum. Opening proceedings are two Brighton based rock bands, The Revocks who are bluesy and first up the multi faceted Dolly Tape.

BARBORA is a Slovak progressive/fusion metal guitarist based in London, UK.

Initially gaining popularity on YouTube – with over 1 million views to-date! – she was a founding member of Essex-based heavy metal band Osmium Guillotine, with whom she released one EP and supported punk titans Sham 69 and Splodgenessabounds, as well as the cult legend John Ottway. Having left the band in 2010, she has since gained an international fanbase and performed on stage with the acclaimed world music group Niyaz at their London show in November 2012.

Her debut original EP “TARTARUS”, a 6-track concept project combining traditional thrash with influences from flamenco and jazz, was released on October 1st 2013 and featured guest appearances from multi-instrumentalist and singer Simon Duthilleul Vannucci (Nibirus, ~Obsession~) and singer/songwriter Kaya Labonte-Hurst. Attaining international radio play, it has been described as "decidedly extravagant... alternative prog metal", "unconventional" and "beautiful" by Italian blog/radio show Il Pozzo dei Dannati.

In summer 2014, BARBORA brought together a live band consisting of multi-instrumentalist Edwin Jack-Chapman and drummer James Wise - both students at the prestigious Institute of Contemporary Music Performance - and has been working with them on her next project, as well as playing live shows around London and Essex.

On December 25th 2014, the band arranged and home recorded an instrumental metal version of Wham!'s "Last Christmas", releasing the track digitally via Bandcamp and Soundcloud.

BARBORA's next album, Enigma, is coming out in Autumn 2015.

Suffer No Fools - Formed in Ealing in 2015 and comprised of Ali Khan on vocals, Jack Kirby and Jamie Newdeck on Guitar, Alex Bain on Bass, and Mike Taylor on drums. The band set out to combine the best of their influences in order to create something contemporary that also harked back to the last few decades of metal. This led to a band that had the speed and melody of Metallica, the groove of Rammstein and the crushing edge of Killswitch Engage.

"Melodic yet powerful they are sure to please any rock fan. Vocally supreme, Lyrically superb and the music is a fusion of pure awesomeness." - Scotty-D, Rock Bandom

"Suffer No Fools can do something that can blow our fucking minds and help sculpt our playlists and CD collections." - Vinterd, Head-Banger Reviews

" It was my first time seeing them perform, but I'm certain it won't be my last, because armed with an incredible first album and an appreciation for working hard, they're going to take the music world by storm" - Underock

Orpheum - Orpheum; named after the old theatrical vaudevillian circuit, formed from the ashes of different bands in 2010 and 2014.

Fronted by the operatic vocals of Erin Johnson, melodic guitar of Finlay Thomson, dramatic keyboards/backing vocals of Mars Martin, pounding bass of Phillipe Dutra and the thunderous drums of Andy Thomson, they have combined gothic, progressive in all its forms, metal and symphonic music to create dramatic, exciting, enthralling music to showcase.

The Revocks - Forming at BIMM in Brighton The Revocks came together as a band quickly which has helped them stride to where they are now in such a short time. Although being based in Brighton The Revocks will play shows all over the UK and if the opportunity comes...the rest of the world. The Revocks takes influence from the delta blues and Rock and Roll. They bring all these sounds together to create a powerful unique feel and groove to the music they create.

With a summer full of gigs booked and single recorded and released It is going to be a very exciting year for The Revocks and others that get involved with the band.

Dolly Tape - *DOLLY TAPE *are Gaston, Eric, Jake and Matt.

Four teens who have been brought up on a small island off the coast of Africa, flown in as babies by dragons and taught to fend for themselves in the wild.

They meet up to practice and get drunk twice a week while cooking up original musical meals using nothing but the freshest ingredients such as grunge, reggae, hip-hop and gangster rap with dashes of harmonies, screams, repetitive swearing and weird robotic dance moves.
