Nightvision, an incredibly talented new young British 4-piece hard rock band from Lincolnshire, released their irresistible, tour de force debut album, ‘As The Lights Go Down’, on Rocksector Records on April 6th….

‘As The Lights Go Down’ is packed with exuberant, crisp, crunching guitar riffs, soaring, wide ranging vocals, thunderous melodic bass lines & powerhouse engine room drumming. This is the sound of four excellent young musicians who have embraced their influences from the (metal and hard rock) past, injected tons of energy & enthusiasm & created their own distinctive brand of high energy hard rock music in the process.

Bulletproof are a Lincolnshire based, five piece, Metal/Rock covers band. Members are:
Gemma - Vocals
Neil - Guitar
Paul - Guitar
Pete - Bass
Rick - Drums

We gig mainly in and around Lincoln but have gigged further afield. We endeavour to pick more unusual covers, although Metal/Rock fans should recognise them all. Our influences include Kiss, Skid Row, Dokken, Diamond Head, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath to name a few.

Bulletproof will be playing on Saturday 21st August

If you are a Saxon fan and you ain't heard of this lot,where have you been?
They will be playing both days and cover all of Saxon's career, so you will hear song's that Saxon don't play anymore or maybe have'nt played live before.I know they have some surprises in store for both day's.
They are worth the ticket price alone,never mind all the other great acts we have lined up.So what are you waiting for order your tickets NOW!
