Venue Information
Approx. capacity: 700
The Robin 2 in Bilston is an excellent live music venue with a capacity of 700, and draws appreciative crowds to see some unexpected big names, local bands and tribute acts. At the front of the club, Noddy's Bar - named after the Slade frontman - is an excellent place to meet for a drink before the gig. The Robin provides a refreshing alternative for those who like to listen to good live music at a reasonable price. The Robin 2 is unique in the fact that it is also a hotel. The Robin 2 hotel has been inundated with bookings since it's opening in May 2008. The 500,000 pounds hotel is aimed at giving concert-goers the chance to enjoy a drink and have a bed nearby for convenience. The old building next to the Mount Pleasant music venue was gutted and transformed into the new attraction as part of a 12 week renovation project. The hotel was built during celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the music venue. Each of the eight sound-proofed rooms are fitted out with en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee machines and digital televisions.

THE CHRISTIANS are an outstanding, soul influenced group who had hits in the late 80s and 90s from their million selling album of the same name including Forgotten Town, Born Again, Ideal World, Hooverville ... shortly followed by the number one hit album Colours which heralded the magnificent tracks Words and Father. The band were also renowned for the strong messages and morals in their songs, which by the way have no religious connection (its just their surname!). The Daily Mirror described the voice of Garry Christian as ‘One of the best voices of the century’.
Fast forward 25 years and the group are stil headed by their unique selling point ... the smooth toned Mr Christian ... who sounds (and looks) as good as ever! With a brand new album launch in May 2012 and the rerelease of the anniversary albums early in the year ... 2012 looks to be a great year for the return of THE CHRISTIANS.
Formed in Liverpool in 1986 The Christians went on to become one of the UK's biggest soul bands with hits like 'Ideal World' and 'Harvest for the World'. A unique blend of soul, gospel and heartfelt acoustic pop, topped off by Garry Christian's distinctive vocals. Still sporting the Raybans, incredibly rich and sultry voice and the string of gorgeous songs that made a million women swoon.
