"Like a mad 60's carnival" Serge Pizzorno // "A colossal club night" Noel Gallagher

This Feeling in association with Gordon Smart (The Sun / XFM) is first on the scene to bring you acts such as Miles Kane, Viva Brother, The Enemy and many more and continues to fly the flag for new British guitar music in 2012...

Prepare to witness history in the making at The Queen Of Hoxton Saturday 14th January as 'London's most rock and roll night out' kicks off the new year in style with an extra special 'Big In 2012' night. No less than six of the country's most talked about, up-and-coming acts will be descending upon the stage to give the TF faithful a taste of the cream of the crop in 2012. And let’s be clear about one thing - this is no manufactured list, dictated by PR. These bands matter…

Soulful London five-piece, BORN BLONDE, list The Doors and The Verve as major influences and have been working with Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve) and Barney Barnicott (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys)… Everyone in the know is excited about this band… Expect propulsive beats and hypnotic Doves-esque soundscapes in an intense live show that will leave you spellbound.
