MOSHtalgia

Are you ready to be taken back to THE best event of your teenage years? Having been in bands for 20+ years with varying success, Mark, Chris, Mike, Luke and Ben decided they were looking to perform a new wave of covers catering to the musical tastes of their upbringing. In 2019 they put that idea into action and decided to start with the most influential bands and importantly the media platforms of that generation. Looking back at MTV, Kerrang and Scuzz the band chose only the essential tracks from these platforms and considered popular music venues of their time to forge the set. You will be pleased to hear such bands as: Slipknot, System of a Down, My Chemical Romance, Bullet for my Valentine, Sum41, Killswitch Engage and many more... This year (2026) MOSHtalgia are excited to announce Jade Maris will be joining Chris on vocal duties at select events. This enables the band to perform Evanescene, Paramore, Avril Lavigne and Flyleaf (+more) at a quality level fans come to expect from their shows. You will be hard pushed to find a band as close to the record as MOSHtalgia.

Formed shortly after their original lead singer appeared on the UK television show Stars In Their Eyes in 2015, These Smiths have gone from strength to strength, playing to thousands of people every year, receiving celebrity endorsements and even acknowledgement from members of The Smiths! With painstaking attention to detail… from Morrissey’s unmistakable vocals and mannerisms; Johnny Marr’s jangly, intricate guitar work; to the unique and powerful rhythm section of Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, “These Smiths” offer a performance that goes far beyond imitation. Every show is a heartfelt celebration of one of the most influential bands of all time. In 2026, the band will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release of The Smiths landmark album – The Queen is Dead, by performing the album in it’s entirety; in a powerful live set that captures all of the spirit and sound of the original album.

Music Spoken Here presents Alex Hitchcock Quartet

Tumbling with ideas, impulsive improvisations and swinging, left-field energy” - MOJO Magazine We are delighted to welcome Alex Hitchcock back to the Marr’s Bar for the third time on our program. He first appeared with Resolution 88 in November 2022 and, as a mentor for Dan Lockheart on the Jazz Central Mentoring Scheme, he performed with Dan’s quintet in September the following year. This time, following sold-out album launches in New York and London, he’s back with his own cutting edge quartet performing music from his new album, Letters From Afar, a sonic correspondence across emotional, geographic, and artistic distances. Described as “leading the charge of new jazz music being created in the UK” (BBC Jazz World), “an astonishingly quick thinking virtuoso” (Jazzwise magazine) and “tumbling with ideas, impulsive improvisations and swinging, left-field energy” (MOJO Magazine), saxophonist and Ivor Novello-nominated composer Hitchcock is a leading voice on the international jazz stage. Emerging from London’s fertile jazz scene and shaped by inventive collaborations across Europe, the US, and further afield, he has built an international reputation for music that balances real-world urgency with formal and stylistic exploration. The group’s sound draws as much from film and visual art as from music itself: shimmering bitonal harmonies that bloom and fracture; layered textures of colour, density, and rhythmic asymmetry; loops and motifs that build, collide, and dissolve.

Moving Pictures (Rush tribute)

This will be a 2112 50th anniversary show featuring the full 2112 suite and songs from every RUSH era. MOVING PICTURES – RUSH TRIBUTE play for over two hours covering all the classics such as Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and Xanadu (with doubleneck guitars) plus some deeper cuts such as Far Cry, Driven and Lakeside Park. 2025 will be dominated by sets themed on RUSH’s last ever tour, R40, which was never brought to Europe. Drummer Jamie Dunleavey — this young lady from St Andrews is scarily on point, her drum solos bring the house down - loved by Neil Peart’s sisters and mum. ‘When I close my eyes I hear my brother” - Judy Peart. It takes a unique set of skills to sing AND play bass AND play keys like Geddy Lee — Eòin de Paor is incredibly accurate, right down to the beard! AND he plays 5 string violin - LOSING IT is in the set. Guitarist Steve Brown is a lifelong Rush fan and pro-player with over 5000 gigs under his belt, playing Alex Lifeson signature guitars and bringing a wicked sense of humour, on stage and off. MOVING PICTURES are regularly on the bill at Rush fan conventions in the UK, Europe and Brazil. They have recordings on all 6 Songs For Neil albums and have performed for and recorded with Rush producer Terry Brown and art director / keys player Hugh Syme. "If you missed seeing RUSH live, MOVING PICTURES is as close as you’ll ever get to the real thing.” Moshville Times
