Event information
It's that time of year again...
After an absence from the capital of many years, it's the perfect excuse to miss the office party....THE CHRISTMAS COVERS PARTY!
Eight Bands
Three Songs
ALL COVERS
(Just the way we like it)
Many years ago deep in the mists of time Nottingham promoters Whycan'twejustallgetalong? decided to get all their friends' bands to play a Christmas party. Because there were a lot of them, and to make it a bit more interesting, they asked the bands to only play cover versions and to limit their sets to 2 or 3 songs. They christened it "The Christmas Covers Party". Well, you would, wouldn't you? There are no headliners - the music has a gradual gradient from 'less party earlier to more party later' – and the bands don't tell anyone what they are going to play. Over the years all sorts of red herrings have been planted to throw covers detectives off track.
So basically, lots of bands play lots of covers whilst we get drunk, dance around and shout at them. Sounds suspiciously simple doesn’t it? Almost too simple...
Resurrected in 2025, this year will feature bands and solo acts, all to be announced in due course!
All profit to Cancer Research, in dedication to the much-loved and missed Understudies band member Becky Dixon, who sadly passed away in June.
