🎸 Wrong Jovi in Luton
Saturday 23 November 2024
Time: 20:00
🎤 The Multi-Award-Winning Wrong Jovi are widely considered to be “the best Bon Jovi tribute band in the world!” So much so, that even the former Bon Jovi guitarist, Richie Sambora, has personally thanked the band for their hard work and unforgettable performances.
ℹ️ AGE INFORMATION:
Under 16s to be accompanied by an adult
🎟 TICKETS - Book via the event link
£15 plus 10% booking fee
🎤 ABOUT WRONG JOVI
In their 9 years of touring, the band have performed across the world and featured on the BBC prime-time TV show, Even Better Than The Real Thing. In 2022 the band were announced as winners of the “Best Tribute Artist” Award at the National Entertainment Awards, having previously won the “Best Tribute Artist Award” at the Northern Entertainment Awards.
Wrong Jovi have sold out shows in music venues and theatres across the UK, whilst also headlining festivals in Malta, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, as well as back home in the UK - including a headline slot on the Electro Love stage at 2019 and 2022’s prestigious Isle Of Wight Festival. Performing a set of greatest hits, live favourites and rarities, the band ensure that there is something for the casual follower and even the most die hard of Bon Jovi fans.
🤔 WHO'S WHO?
▪️Jon Bon Jovi act - Ally Ward takes on the role of Jon Bon Jovi, baring a striking resemblance to one of rocks most iconic showmen. Not only does he look like Jon, Ally unleashes a vocal so strong that audience members actually believe they are watching Bon Jovi at their very peak - some say he is even better than the real Jon Bon Jovi.
▪️Vocals/guitar- Mark Harding takes on the role of Richie Sambora, reproducing the his fiery licks and riffs as well as Sambora’s smooth vocal lines with flare and precision that is unrivalled - he is also a dead ringer for one of Rock N’ Roll’s most recognisable guitarists.
▪️Keyboard - On keyboards is Jon Paul as David Bryan - one of the UK’s finest musicians, Jon performs the songs with precision like no other and is a key factor in ensuring Wrong Jovi are top of the tribute tree.
▪️Bass line - James Houghton, Wrong Jovi’s Hugh McDonald, has performed with acts such as Phil Collins, Mott The Hoople and Dumpy’s Rusty Nuts, opening for acts such as Guns N’ Roses and Rod Stewart - his bass lines and experience are invaluable to the band.
▪️Drummer - Alex Sturgeon completes the line up as drummer, Tico Torres. Alex is one of the UK’s best young drummers and provides the thunderous drumming that drives the Wrong Jovi show.
🎸 Get your dose of Bad Medicine with Wrong Jovi - “The Best Bon Jovi Tribute Band In The World!”

⚡️MORETALLICA at Club 85, Hitchin (Ages 14+)
Saturday 23 November 2024
Time: 19:45 Price: £13.00
⚡️Moretallica - UK Metallica Tribute Band at Club 85, Hitchin. Following a fully sold out show in 2023 we are pleased to announce the return of Moretallica to Club 85 in Hitchin on Sat 23rd November 2024. Moretallica's 11th year of touring.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To celebrate this, we will be playing songs from all 11 of Metallica's original studio albums. At this show, there will be at least one song from every album in the set! Moretallica is the most exciting Metallica Tribute in the UK, delivering an authentic performance and the most energetic show!
Formed in 2012, and determined to perform the music of heavy metal legends Metallica to the highest standard, Moretallica is at the top level of UK tribute bands. A Moretallica show is the most hard-hitting spectacle and display of high quality musicianship, as you’d expect from a band with 60+ years of combined gigging experience across the UK and Europe.
This will probably be the very last time to catch Moretallica at Club 85 so an early ticket purchase is essential.
ℹ️ AGE INFORMATION
14+ only. 14s to 16s must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorre
🎫 TICKETS - Can be purchased via the event link
Tickets priced £13.00 are on sale from Seetickets and available in person from Bar 85, H Town Wax & Rags and David's Music Letchworth.

💖 Women for women Support Group - Bedford
Saturday 23 November 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
🚨 EVENT CANCELLED 🚨
🌳 A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.
🫶 WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.
WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.
🗺 I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you.
