    Gene Vincent Night - Shakin' Up A Storm!
     
    Saturday 8th February
    9pm - 2am
    Entry £10
    Sorry No Under 18s
     
    Ace Cafe London, hosting the annual Gene Vincent Tribute Night at the cafe on Saturday 8th February, this year celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1964 release "Shakin' Up A Storm" and features the renowned and highly regarded Graham Fenton and The All Stars, together with DJ Bill Guntrip on the decks.
     
    Graham, who knew Gene, began his rock n' roll career with the Houseshakers, the band that supported and backed Gene on the last leg of his 1969 UK tour. After the Houseshakers, and subsequently the Hellraisers, Graham joined Matchbox to include opening the first concert held at Wembley Stadium, the London Rock n' Roll Show of 1972, and the rest, as they say is history!
     
    The evening includes opportunity to win a range of prizes including two pairs of tickets to attend the cafe's forthcoming rare London appearance of Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers gig on Saturday 8th March along with an Ace 75th anniversary goodie pack and copies of Vintage Rock magazine.
     
    To be in with a chance of winning, retain your entry raffle ticket. Draw to be held on the evening.
