HEADLINING this local event, which has been put together by local promoter Loz Lozza, are Sacrilege.

Loz runs through what's in store:

"These guys have played with Iron Maiden - yes really. Recently reformed after a 20 year lay off - this is hard rocking music from the NWOBHM era. Think Sabbath, think Judas Priest - this is hard hitting pile driving riffs - delivered with the quality you would associate from a band who have toured nationally.. played the Marquee.. done Radio 1, etc!

"Freeway Mad play their first gig in Basingstoke since winning the Road To Blissfields event back in May. Since then, things have gone from strength to strength - they are booked to tour America next year, they are booked to tour Germany next year and there is label interest as the guys are currently head down getting the material together for their debut album.

"Classic hard rock and unmistakeable energy - a great band who always win over every crowd.

"Bitter Divide return to Basingstoke - they too have been absent most of the year - also getting their debut album ready. We hope it will be on sale at this gig as it is promised for early November. They are a terrific twin lead guitar band with a fantastic rhythm section and a strong lead vocalist with loads of charisma. Stacks of experience and memorable hard rock songs.

"Fall to Rise make their debut in Basingstoke. Very much leaning towards the rock side of things - think Wildhearts, Dogs D'Amour and one of our favourites - Motherload.

"Four piece with twin vocals - a fine fiery start to what is going to be a great night of rock!"
