6th March The Mods Band Regarded by many as the best tribute in the world to the golden age of pop, The Wharf welcomes the return of The Mods with their celebration of sixties music. With Johnny Warman on lead vocals the band also includes Rhino Edwards from Status Quo on bass and Spike Edney from Queen playing keyboards and it is little wonder that they concentrate on faithfully reproducing the sounds of the very best music from The Who, Small Faces, The Doors, The Yardbirds, The Kinks any many more.
The Mods have appeared alongside Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher and Time Out magazine said that this is without doubt the best 60’s party you will ever attend. www.tavistockwharf.com

9th May Cardiff (VJMC) Classic Show. Sunday Show

With the support of Cornwall Council I have secured a 1500 sq meter display arena, in Saltash, with early event consultation our expected community attendance is in the region of 10000 people. Cornwall Air Ambulance has been selected as the over all, event charity as its felt this, is one of the few emergency services that truly links us with the biker world. I am hoping to link to a large number of Devon and Cornwall clubs and ask you to consider arranging your own local club ride outs on the day. Arrangements are underway for a large bike arena, live music, bike related display stands. Basically the whole day will be planned around the enjoyment of you the biker!

Displays agreed to so far are: Fire Service (turn table ladder, De-con unit, uni –mog, water carrier, Usar team) Police (dogs, traffic, bikes, scene investigation, PCSO’s) Bomb Disposal Cornwall Recue RLNI Air Ambulance Bac’s Doctors NHS Ambulance (ambulances, Paramedic cars, co- responders)

The band bring the full size AC/DC show to the fore, complete with the Cannons, the Hells Bell, the walkways and the stunning backdrops & drapes. Add a rock hard rhythm section and ‘Angus Lorne’ cutting the rug as Angus Young and it’s a no-brainer as to why this band is the hardest working in the UK of its kind. You’ll hear all the classics from ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ & ‘Highway To Hell’ to ‘Thunderstruck’ & ‘Back In Black’. There are no cutting corners with Live/Wire, it’s the full on show.
Joining Live/Wire on tour are top Thin Lizzy tribute Limehouse Lizzy.

Expect Whisky in the Jar, Parisienne Walkways, The Boys are Back in Town, and many more of Phil Lynott's genre-defying hits. Add to this their magnificent mirrored backdrop, police lights, and full pyrotechnic display and you know you will not be left disappointed! www.tavistockwharf.com
