A local Isle of Wight rock covers band will be taking to the stage at Newport’s Strings Bar & Venue next month, with a special one-off headline performance.
The three-piece band, known as SAS, will headline the venue on Thursday 17th December, for the very first time.
The band features Ventnor resident Ali Copping, a highly experienced session drummer and playback/sound engineer who is currently touring with 1980s chart-topping singer Alison Moyet.
Ali has a break in his busy touring schedule, giving him the opportunity to return to the Island and join his bandmates for the one-off performance.
Completing the line-up are singer Stewart Woodward and guitarist Sam Willis, who have previously performed together in a number of rock tribute and covers bands on the Isle of Wight, including Something From Nothing, Foo Fighterz and Stiff Upper Lip.
SAS will perform a varied set spanning two-and-a-half hours, featuring everything from heavier rock classics by AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Metallica to more mainstream favourites from Tears for Fears, The Police and Blur.
The gig promises an evening of live music while also supporting one of the Isle of Wight’s live music venues.
Tickets cost £7 and are available online through Gigantic.
