FRIDAY night is one not to be missed at Sanctuary - it's Simon 'Dirty Bear''s birthday bash.

Jon Rockbitch explains: "As some of you may know, Si hasn't been too well lately. So we will be filming the show so he can experience it all with us.

"We'd love to see all his friends down and just have a party. And when he's well enough to party with us - we'll have a second one."

The line-up:

Versus Ursus - https://www.facebook.com/VersusUrsus

Purveyors of finely crafted audio masochism 'Versus Ursus' borrow from a wide range of influences when constructing their sonic palette. Their unique, attention-deficit approach to song-writing draws as heavily from traditional Punk, Rock and Metal as it does from more avant-garde areas of music.

ejected by science, these decrepit mishaps slunk away to their basement lab to produce their experimental elixir, re-emerging after years of toil they were rewarded with a sound rich in melody permeated by the bombastic energy of youth.

Unconventional song structures and ambient guitar work draw the listener into songs that feature both soothingly poetic vocals and guttural screams.

The Twin Dracula - https://www.facebook.com/TheTwinDracula

Royal County Rock and Roll. 4 like minded young men, playing in a band formed on an immovable foundation of intensity, aggression, and a total lack of compromise. Ripped up Sanctuary the last time they played!

Spirit Of The State - https://www.facebook.com/spiritofthestate

With catchy melodies, hooky riffs, searing guitar solos and a professional all round sound, Spirit of the State makes an indelible impression on those that see and hear them.

From the foot stomping Give Me A Reason to the uplifting summer anthem, Best I Could, you won't be able to stop humming the songs long after seeing them. Modern popular rock at its finest! Turn up the air amps, and smash your air guitars to the band that the NME has never heard, and VH1 has never played... Spirit of the State!

This will be FREE ENTRY. ALL NIGHT.

8PM open. Party until 3AM.
