THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND
PLUS THE COMPUTERS AND SHARKS
Having kicked, screamed and fought their way out of Brighton, England in early 2007 with awe-inspiring debut full-length This Is Where The Fight Begins, The Ghost Of A Thousand have rapidly become one of the UK's most valuable and unique musical assets, thanks to their unhinged, uncompromising and utterly invigorating style. Having spent the last couple of years challenging old perceptions of what British hardcore was made of, collecting a Kerrang! Award nomination and a place in Q Magazine's Top Five metal bands along the way.

SERGEANT
PLUS THE COMMON EMPIRE & THE REVOLUTION
Sergeant are a 4-piece indie rock band from Glenrothes in Fife, Scotland, blessed with an upbeat outlook and melodic ear evoking The La’s, Epstein-era Beatles and the kind of early corkers the Stone Roses let slip out as b-sides. The band played both 2007 T in the Park and Glastonbury festivals and have attracted a fanbase and media attention extending well outside their Scottish base. Xfm Scotland’s Jim Gellatly has marked the band as one of his favourites and they have recently drawn further praise from ex-Creation Records boss Alan McGee. Guests on this date include the Common Empire from Dumfries, and a return engagement by The Revolution from Penrith.
Times: 8pm until 2am
Admission: £5.00 advance. All shows at The Brickyard are 18+ unless otherwise stated.

THE HOLLOWAYS
PLUS BIRDS VS. PLANES
The Holloways had an exciting start to life with the critically acclaimed debut - "So This Is Great Britain?” - and 2007 saw the band storm sold out shows across the UK with singles Dance Floor, Generator and Two Left Feet pumping on the radio airwaves. Now, the energy and the bond in the band has seen the boys enjoy an intense schedule which is already relighting many fires ahead of the release of the new album – No Smoke, No Mirrors – which is due for a September release. Everyone is massively excited for the summer schedule; the boys will be back on the road gigging the brand new set featuring songs from the forthcoming album alongside the old favourites.

LITTLE COMETS
PLUS BIRDS VS. PLANES
What we have here is the latest, brightest and most more-ish fruit on 2009’s pop tree. Hailing from Newcastle and already winning over Sara Cox and Huw Stephens, the irrepressible Little Comets craft music indicative of their gang-like mentality, describing themselves as "an entirely four-sided shape". Their blend echoes the boisterous exuberance of classic XTC, ’I Should Coco’-era Supergrass and afro-pop ingénues Vampire Weekend, served up with moments of improvised rhythms sourced from kettles, sofas & all manner of peculiar percussion, in order to grab that moment that matters. They promise as much dazzling confection as Willy Wonka’s golden ticket!
Times: 8pm until 2am
Admission: £5.00 advance. All shows at The Brickyard are 18+ unless otherwise stated.

Don't Mention The Floods Presents:
DAVE GORMAN: SIT DOWN, PEDAL, PEDAL, STOP AND STAND UP
Novelist and TV star Dave Gorman (Genius, QI, Are you Dave Gorman, Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure, America Unchained) is going back on the road, and, in a massive coup, is due to hit The Brickyard. And when we say “on the road” we really mean it.
A lot of acts will tell you they’re covering the length and breadth of the country… but Dave’s really doing it. This tour will see the intrepid comedian covering the extremes of the British mainland as he travels from this land’s southernmost point to its northernmost tip, taking in the most easterly and westerly points along the way. If nothing else he’ll get to see four lighthouses.
Oh, and did we mention he’s going to do the whole thing on his push bike? The travelling, we mean. Not the gigs. That’d be silly. 1500 miles. 32 days in the saddle. 32 nights on the stage. His Mum’s told him not to do it but he won’t listen. With this show Dave Gorman goes back to his roots as a straight up, one-man-and-a-mic, stand-up whose “material is mercilessly sharp and original” (The Times.) Tickets are sure to sell fast, so book ahead.
Times: 8pm until 2am
Admission: £15.00 advance. All shows at The Brickyard are 18+ unless otherwise stated.
Tickets: Sold out
