The Black Hands @ Wingerworth

THIS FRIDAY (10th January 2013) if you've got a spare evening and you want something fresh and exciting to try head down to the Wingerworth Pub and Kitchen and check out The Black Hands... described on their facebook as "Combining southern blues and rock to create 

their original blend of humbucking, foot-tapping & head-nodding musical home-brew, The Black Hands deliver a raw, punchy, feel-good sound, bringing a modern twist to the roots of any self-confessed music lover's influences."

I know the Derbyshire based band would appreciate your support if you could join them for their hoedown! Always good to support local music where you can... 

More Matlock Musical Offerings...

Just a little update about a few Matlock events taking part over the Christmas/New Year period. 

There's a Boxing Day Party at the Monk's Cellar on, you guessed it, Boxing Day! With great music til late it's a good excuse to get you out of your PJ's and out and about after a lazy Christmas and Boxing Day.

Then on Saturday 28th at The Gate in Tansley (a fantastic little pub for anyone who doesn't know it too well) they have EXILE with their last gig of 2013 - I'm sure that means they'll be going out with a bang! A good excuse to catch them if you missed them a week or so ago in Matlock...
