Haskell
Singer-songwriter Gordon, 55, started out with local bands The League of Gentlemen and Les Fleur de Lys, later joining friend Robert Fripp in King Crimson. He sang on two albums before leaving to carve out a solo career. For the past 20 years or so genial Gordon has been delighting audiences, mainly in intimate venues like The Platform Tavern and The Bent Brief in Southampton, with his original songs and quirky humour. In his familiar hat and toting his guitar, he has built up a huge following of fans who are united in their belief that Gordon should be a major star.

Whole Lotta
Led The bands aim is to reproduce the classic Zep songs with the same enthusiasm, excitement and passion that the original band created. WHOLE LOTTA LED are NOT a lookalike tribute, the music was always the most important aspect of Led Zeppelin - not what they looked like. Although disbanding after the untimely death of their drummer John Bonham, Led Zeppelin remain one of the most popular bands ever, with countless fans still wanting to hear their classic repertoire. WHOLE LOTTA LED cover the whole spectrum of Zep material - from the thunderous anthems of Whole Lotta Love' and 'Dazed and Confused' to the more tranquil acoustic numbers such as 'Tangerine' and 'The Battle of Evermore' not forgetting the all time classic 'Stairway to Heaven'. The band have also been very active recently in raising funds for The ABC Trust, a charity founded by Jimmy Page's wife to help under privileged children in Brazil, the involvement with the charity eventually led to a meeting with Led Zeppelin's legendary guitarist Jimmy Page who gave their recent Led Zeppelin IV 30th anniversary tour his blessing. He's even threatened to come to a gig soon - so keep your eyes peeled!

Jefferson Starship IF CULT 60s and 70s American bands are your thing, The Brook is the place to go these days. The history of Jefferson Starship goes way back to 1965, when their forefathers, Jefferson Airplane were formed by Paul Kantner and Marty Balin, becoming the first San Francisco rock group to be signed by a major record label. Their debut album on RCA, "Jefferson Airship Takes Off" was released in 1966. When Grace Slick joined the band the following year she brought with her the songs "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit" which both hit the USA Top Ten during the "summer of love". Jefferson Airship became icons of psychedelic rock over the next five years releasing groundbreaking albums like "Surrealistic Pillow" and "Bless Its' Pointed Little Head."Jefferson Airplane disbanded in 1972, with Paul Kantner recruiting Marty Balin and Grace Slick to form the first incarnation of Jefferson Airship in 1974, which produced three albums together before both Marty and Grace left the band. The group produced three more albums despite Kantner being temporarily laid low by a brain haemorrhage from which he successfully recovered. He left in 1984 taking the "Jefferson" name with him leaving the group called just "Starship", ironically enjoying even greater commercial success including two USA No.1 hits in 1985 and 1986 - "We Built This City" and "Sara". Starship finally sank in
1990; meantime Kantner and Balin had revived the early Jefferson
Airplane line-up. The tortuous career of Jefferson Starship resumed
in 1991 with a new lineup including former Tubes drummer Prairie
Prince and blues violin master Papa John Creach who died in 1993.
Over the last ten years Jefferson Starship have performed nearly
800 concerts in 21 countries, recruiting a sensational new vocalist
Diana Managano along the way. The current tour includes rare songs
from "Surrealistic Pillow" to commemorate the 35th anniversary
of its release, plus songs like "Crown of Creation" and "Sketches
of China.' Preview by Peter

with support from Rat Daddy. Larger than life, comes the sensation that is Lord Bishop Rocks, the KINGS of SexRock. A show NOT to be missed, as this band could be bigger than The Darkness in a years time. Sonically, its a highly pleasurable hell-raising assault on the senses. (Cool Hendrix Vibes, James Brown Funk, Nirvana Power and Zappa Humour.) Visually its one of the greatest performances you will ever see. Is this the new Jimi Hendrix? - Possibly - Yes, some will say, but in reality, No. For this is Badass black guitarist / singer-songwriter Lord Bishop, and he is like no other. Already established in Europe as a hugely in-demand artist who has risen to give rock music a mighty kiss in the rear, and a veteran of non-stop euro gigs and festivals in the past few years. Lord Bishop is coming to conquer the UK with his loud buzzsaw guitar and songs (sang with bulletproof intensity) in 2004. Lord Bishop is the "black giant" (two meters plus 120 kg) from New York City and with his Sex Rock gang, produce a daring and crazy mixture of dirty Rock'n'Roll, Funk, sweat, Soul, sex appeal and black power. These are the Loudest, Funkiest, Dirtiest Hard Rock Trio to land on the planet Earth in decades. In 2004 the 'Orgasmus World Tour' will hit the BROOK on March 23 - LORD BISHOP ROCKS are here to shake your bones and cause music fans to stomp and shake with every vibrant beat of the music, that is known as SexRock. Support comes from the superb local heroes RAT:DADDY - a bit of Glam, a bit of Sleaze, a LOT of ROCK !! All-in-all a Night NOT to be missed.
"Their music sounds like Prince f***ing Courtney Love with 100 Kilos of Jalepenos in his ass..." (Westzeit) "17 styles of music in a blender with politics as the seasoning." (Mike Henry, Sony Music) "Dark, Evil, Funky, loaded with balls" (John Hayes, 'Mother's Finest') "We love the way he dresses!" (Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci) "Lord Bishop is Rock Music's new pearl – the hammer live show!" (Weistzeit Magazine, Germany) "A hell-raising assault on the senses…… Lord Bishop is RED HOT." (Babysue, USA) "Lenny Kravitz meets Dead Moon" (Westzeit). "How can he sing and play so bad and sound so f***ing good!?" (Chris Robinson, The Black Crowes)
