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.

Simon and Garfunkel Live
Bookends, the UK’s finest tribute to Simon and Garfunkel are usually seen taking to the stage with no more than a guitar upon which to lay their harmonies. However, for just a handful of special shows old friends, Dan Haynes and Pete Richards will be bringing along with them a full band of musicians to perform their greatest hits show, Simon and Garfunkel Live.
Bookends reformed early in 2012 and have since been delighting audiences with their Through the Years acoustic show. Having spent many years singing close harmony together their voices blend perfectly to create what many have said to be an uncanny likeness to the original sound.
“Closing your eyes you could really believe that was Simon and Garfunkel”
BBC Radio
Uncanny maybe their recreation of the sound but, there is nothing uncanny in their look and they make no attempt to hide this. Bookends are, as they describe themselves “a tribute to the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel” and waste no time in trying to be the American stars. Their tribute is born out of a mutual love of the music and this shows in every performance the duo makes.
Now with a full line up of musicians to back their already impressive repertoire, Simon and Garfunkel Live will bring hits like Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, Homeward Bound and Hazy Shade of Winter to life and reminds us, once again why Simon and Garfunkel are considered one of the greatest folk rock duos.
“Bookends, a must see musical experience”
