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.

Incredible power trio who burst onto the scene early 2009. In 2010 they released the their stunning all original album The Radium, gathering countless 5 star reviews and best of 2011 awards in Classic Rock and the coveted US magazine top 20 Blues Rock Review (alongside the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Black Country Communion, The Black Keys, Warren Haynes, Phillip Sayce and Rivals Sons etc). Virgil McMahon is without doubt the finest young players to come out of the UK for many years. Scorching solos combined with sublime 'feel' play, together with a solid soulful vocal performance. Making up the power trio is brother Gabriel on drums and Jack Alexander on Bass. Live shows are simply jaw dropping, it is important to note that this is a 'band' and not a front man playing with 'musicians'. Likened to a young Cream, on stage they appear telepathic, delivering a set that will take you to the very edges of the Blues Rock spectrum and beyond. Be prepared!.
