Fresh Catch 8: Oceanvein & Vigilantes

Comments Off on Fresh Catch 8: Oceanvein & Vigilantes

Fresh Catch 8 continues Docks Academy’s commitment to grassroots music with Oceanvein and Vigilantes performing on Friday 21st November!

Friday 21st November 2025
Doors 7.00pm | Curfew 11pm
Age Restriction – 14+ (Under 18’s to be accompanied by an adult)
Advance Tickets £5 + Fees

Oceanvein

Diving into the depths and delights of modern heavy music, Oceanvein boasts an outrageously ambitious collective of creative explorers. Since its humble inception as a passion project between lifelong friends Lucas Colyer and David Mackay, Oceanvein has expanded to a full-on cabal of deeply motivated comrades. Blending hypnagogic textures and enchanting melodies with a dose of disgustingly heavy riffs, their oeuvre will commence in 2025 with huge releases and pulse-pounding live shows. If you have any interest in the state of modern rock music, you need to check these guys out!

Vigilantes

After a lot of introspection and staring into the mirror, Vigilantes have independently achieved success and fought their way out of a cultural desert to perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Isle of Wight Festival, SXSW and support acts like Circa Waves, The Libertines and Reverend & the Makers.

Vigilantes craft a thoughtful, melodic style of indie rock that’s as anthemic as it is atmospheric with thoughtful lyricism and explosive choruses. They do it so well that they have been placed on Radio 1’s Best Of BBC Introducing playlist and had repeat airtime on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 & Radio X. Noted by Fresh on the Net’s Tom Robinson as ‘On a mission’, Vigilantes were part of National Lottery/MVT’s Revive Live Tour in 2022 and releasing their debut album ‘Golden Record’ in 2025.

Omid Djalili Namaste

Comments Off on Omid Djalili Namaste

The Persian comedy powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show NAMASTE where Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet.

No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them.

You have been warned.

The Illegal Eagles

Comments Off on The Illegal Eagles

Celebrating over 50 years since the formation of the legendary West Coast Country Rock band The Eagles in 1971, The Illegal Eagles play the Grimsby Auditorium on Sunday 16 November for another outstanding show promising more of their trademark musical prowess, acute attention to detail and incredible showmanship.

This critically acclaimed show features the very best from the Eagles’ catalogue of classics including Hotel California, Desperado, Take It Easy, New Kid In Town, Life In The Fast Lane and many more…

Formed in 1998, the latest all-star line-up of the show, produced as ever by Phil Aldridge, features Tony Kiley (formerly from 80’s sensation The Blow Monkeys) on drums, Trevor Newnham (Dr Hook) vocals and bass, Greg Webb vocals and guitars, Mike Baker, vocals and guitars and Garreth Hicklin, vocals and guitars.

Garreth, Greg, Trevor, and Mike effortlessly capture the vocal style and delivery of Eagles band members Henley, Walsh, Fry, Schmidt and Meisner, and are masters of their respective instruments. The power-house rhythm section of Kiley and Newnham has added a dimension that is sensitive to the subtle needs of the Eagles’ songs and kicks hard where necessary.

The Eagles themselves were formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by founders Glenn Frey and Don Henley. With five number-one singles, six number one albums, six Grammy awards and five American Music awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts in the 1970s.

The Eagles have since gone on to become one of the world’s best-selling bands, having sold more than 200 million records, including 100 million albums sold in the US alone.

Their incredible songbook lives on in The Illegal Eagles, in a memorable evening featuring over two hours of classic country rock hits.
