Rexfest
Rexfest: A musical tribute to our dear friend ‘Mr Blues’ Rex Everett
After the news of Rex’s passing earlier this year, many people asked about putting on & performing at a tribute event for him. After a lot of planning, we’re finally ready to go:
The event will be held at Central Studios, Queen Mary’s College in Basingstoke. It’ll be an all day event, with music from 1pm - 11pm. There’s (free) on site parking, a full bar, food vendor & seating in the venue.
Book your tickets now!
ABB @ Central Studios, QMC
Note: This is not at our usual venue
When visiting Central Studios to discuss Rexfest, they mentioned they had booked ABB. Given we don’t have a gig in June, let’s head down there to support both the venue & a band that have played for us many times over the years.
