What's Going On At 'This Feeling' This Weekend?

IGNORE THE BULLSHIT INDUSTRY-MANUFACTURED LISTS - THIS IS REAL TALENT DESTINED FOR BIG THINGS IN 2015 PLAYING LONDON & MANCHESTER THIS MONTH!

'London's most rock 'n' roll night out' and 'where to see future next big things in advance' The Evening Standard

Manchester Night & Day / London Amersham Arms (Sat 31st January)



For nearly a decade now we've been told by "those in the know" that guitar bands are coming back. Yawn. Guitar bands have never gone away, certainly not at THIS FEELING who've has been fighting the corner for the best emerging talent around for 8 years and counting. Real artists and real rock and roll passion is what matters to This Feeling. Just ask Alan McGee 'This Feeling is the best club in the UK for rock'n'roll music and they're doing a great job of highlighting and supporting new bands. They believe in UK guitar music and are doing all they can to get it out there'.

Still recovering from a massive NYE with Carl Barat & The Jackals, the UK's most infamous club night and rock star hangout, THIS FEELING, now in association with Jack Daniel's and XFM, kicks off the new year in London and Manchester with TEN brilliant acts they're tipping to do damage in 2015.

This Feeling, now an established tastemaker with a stellar reputation for putting the best new bands on first, listen up...this is no list drawn up by industry big-wigs for industry big-wigs, this is rock n roll, this is real...
