About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

For a while THE ROAR CLUB promoted gigs at the Angel on Friday nights but we've now relocated for a twice-monthly run of gigs at Esquires - a venue familiar to most of Bedford's gig-goers.

Attracting some of the hottest indie bands from around the country, the Roar Club has bought many bands to town that have since gone on to bigger stages - The Young Knives, The Fratellis, Jamie T, Forward Russia and Larrikin Love to name a few. We're constantly on the look-out for new talent and were the first stop-off for THE VIEW when they needed a date at short notice.

tickets for some events can be bought online by visiting www.seetickets.com
