West End Centre

Fabulous evening of outstanding performance and musicianship of the highest order … not to be missed!

All bands that performed that evening were great, especially Struggles End and Catlea.

Scotland’s one man band and veritable force of nature Dave Arcari made a rare foray down south to play this gig at Aldershot’s intimate community-oriented venue, the West End Centre. Audience numbers were sparse but those who did attend appreciated Arcari’s high-intensity performance on a variety of Resophonic guitars and (whisper it) banjo. Mixing his own original songs with classic numbers like “Stagolee” and “Trouble in Mind”, Arcari rampaged through two sets of breakneck blues interspersed with jokey anecdotes and the odd swear word. He’s an artist that always gives his all — a solo performer of electrifying energy able to hold an audience spellbound over two dynamic sets, as he did here in Aldershot. Let’s hope Dave Arcari finds his way down south more often, as he is worthy of a bigger audience for his big-hearted take on the Delta blues that inspires his music.

Great the Pete Roth Trio are a great band. They’ve got the great bill Bruford on drums. I’ve got the great Pete Roth on guitar and on base you’ve got the great Mike Pratt the whole band together is brilliant and if you get a chance to see him, you should take that opportunity.

Great energy from the band. Friendly intimate venue.

High energy fun. Great show from a great band!

First time my partner and myself had seen Conner and we were very impressed. Very good set and bought his album afterwards. Would be very happy to see him again.

I won’t swear, but they were absolutely €${^!}* brilliant

Fabulous, maturing all the time. Great night out…fun fun fun You need to see this band 🥳👍🍻

B****y brilliant. Energy, vibe, audience connection off the chart.

Great little venue and fantastic performance from Millie

Ramona’s tea party where amazing. And as usual Millie absolutely smashed it

Excellent venue - brilliant gig.

Great venue for a superb intimate acoustic show. Lots of great anecdotes and great tunes

Our first time at the West End Centre, what a great venue👍👏👏 As long time Brave Rival fans, we love them to bits and just when you think they can't possibly get any better...they pull a short gig like this out of the hat. Hot on the heels of their first block buster International Festival in Norway Brave Rival are back with renewed vigor. The dual vocals of Chloe and Lyndsey are a master class of vocal range, great Blues, Epic Rock and polished performance all rolled into one. Donna on drums is a jaw dropping experience, she is amazing. Billy on base is totally solid but really came to the fore in the last new number, which is excellent, leading of with a base intro and featuring throughout the track. Last but not least Ed 'The Shred' on guitar, every solo an applause winning feature. As always Brave Rival produced one of the most polished and entertaining stage shows ever and are destined for great things 👌💥💥♥️

First time I’ve caught this band, amazing all round package, the vibe was palpable and vocals, songs and musicianship top notch. I need to catch a full length gig ASAP. Bravo Brave Rival!

The Bros were excellent as usual, and great sound at this friendly venue. All in all a cracking night out!

Tankus are an incredible live proposition. Thoroughly recommended. The Westy is a bijou venue and there was not quite the space for Jaz Delorean's normal expansiveness. The dry ice within the Tankus piano set off the venue fire alarm so the audience spent 10 mins in the Car Park. The last time I saw Tankus in Surrey at the Boileroom Guildford - the piano packed up and they had to terminate the show. What is it with Surrey? Tankus are always brilliant and I for one, am following them to Southsea on Saturday

Bleed from within we’re incredible...
