Exciting events and experiences happening this month in Derby.
Spike (The Quireboys)
Event Information
Spike (The Quireboys) Spike is the founder and front man of the Quireboys - one of the UK’s most enduring rock 'n' roll bands. A band that's been through different chapters and had different line-ups, but Spike is the constant throughout. Song writer, singer and leader of a band with which he has now become synonymous. With lifelong friend Guy Bailey, Spike penned the benchmark Quireboys songs - such as Hey You, I Don't Love You Any More and 7 O'Clock - tracks which have defined the band musically for decades and, to this day, remain the hallmark songs of any Quireboys show. Spike has also had a succession of critically acclaimed solo records and treasured collaborations. Music is Spike’s lifeblood. Always has been and always will be. With the Quireboys inactive as a live act due to the pandemic, Spike booked some low-key acoustic shows to tour his Late Night Song Book album. He was one of the first acts, if not the first act back with live music as lockdown eased in the summer of 2021. It was the perfect setting to encourage people back to grassroots venues - low key, socially-distanced shows, evenings of music and storytelling. These intimate shows have continued to prove very popular and remain one of Spike’s favourite performance showpieces. Even though the newly re-formed Quireboys continue to sell out larger venues he is very much at home with his acoustic guitar, accompanied by Chris Heilmann. Another side project Spike & The Geordie Rogues is still in development and the debut video ‘Drink is the Ruination of Man’ has already become a fans firm favourite. Spike also provided guest vocals on the Soho Dukes single “A Stone’s Throw” which was voted Single of the Week by Classic Rock. No doubt the forthcoming festive season will see the re-release “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”. 2026 will be another busy year year for Spike that will see him playing across Europe and the USA but you know that he will be back in the UK performing his unique ‘solo’ shows to the fans old and new. Special Guest: Del Bromham (Stray)

Atomic Rooster
Event Information
ATOMIC ROOSTER – CIRCLE THE SUN 2025/26 Since their explosive return in 2016 – with the blessing of band founder Vincent Crane’s widow – ATOMIC ROOSTER have been tearing through festivals, clubs, and concert halls across the UK and Europe. At the helm is their early-70s guitar hero STEVE “BOLTZ” BOLTON, and the band has built an unstoppable momentum, winning over a devoted and ever-growing fanbase. Best known for their two chart-smashing hits “Devil’s Answer” and “Tomorrow Night”, Rooster are also revered for their genre-defining proto-metal / gothic-prog masterpieces: Death Walks Behind You (1970) and In the Hearing Of… (1971). Add to that the blues-fired Made in England – featuring Chris Farlowe on vocals, Bolton on guitar, and Spinal Tap’s infamous drummer Rick Parnell – and you have the DNA of a true British rock institution. Now, the band is mixing those stone-cold classics with blistering new tracks from their upcoming album Circle The Sun – dropping October 2025 on Esoteric Recordings and Cherry Red Records – and debuting live on their Circle The Sun Tour. This is more than a gig — it’s a resurrection of Rock!!!

A Band Called Malice
Event Information
A Band Called Malice -The Premier British Tribute to THE JAM A Band Called Malice stands as the UK's most authentic and celebrated tribute to the iconic mod rock band The Jam. Formed by seasoned musician Andy Coultas after a decade fronting another acclaimed Jam tribute, the band meticulously recreates the energy, precision, and passion of Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton, and Rick Buckler's legendary performances. Their name, inspired by The Jam's 1982 number-one hit "A Town Called Malice," reflects their dedication to honouring the band's enduring legacy. With explosive live shows that transport audiences back to the heyday of mod revival, A Band Called Malice delivers a setlist spanning all six of The Jam’s studio albums, encompassing songs from all six studio albums released by The Jam during their 1977-1982 heyday . Their performances typically include: · Iconic hits: "Town Called Malice," "Start," "Going Underground," "The Eton Rifles," "That's Entertainment" · Fan favorites: "Down in the Tubestation at Midnight," "Art School," "The Modern World," "David Watts" · Deeper cuts: B-sides and album tracks rarely performed by other tributes , their repertoire captures the raw power and social commentary that defined The Jam’s music. The band’s attention to detail extends to their equipment and instrumentation, including identical reproductions of Paul Weller’s Rickenbacker guitars, their stage presence, and wardrobe, effectively transporting audiences back to the heyday of The Jam's popularity ensuring a sonically and visually authentic experience. ABCM is renowned for their authentic sound reproduction, described as "frighteningly realistic"
