The fabulous Boomtown Rats are playing at The Palladium Club in Bideford on Saturday 22 January and tickets are already selling fast. Fifty people were turned away from the last "big gig" at the Palladium Club when the Hamsters played Hendrix, so if you're thnking of going, get your ticket quick!

They’ll be playing all their superb hits, including Rat Trap, She's So Modern, Diamond Smiles, Like Clockwork, Someone's Looking At You, Looking After Number 1, Mary of the 4th Form and their brilliant new version of I Don't Like Mondays. In all, they actually had no less than 9 Top Twenty hits.

Its no secret that Bob Geldof has other things to keep him occupied these days, but ever since the beginning of the band, guitarist Garry Roberts and drummer Simon Crowe have been the driving force behind the Boomtown Rats sound and are driving Boomtown Rats' renaissance too.

This is no “tribute“ band – it’s the real deal, so make sure you book in advance  - don’t miss out on a brilliant night of classic Boomtown Rats! Check out their fantastic version of I Don’t Like Mondays at http://www.palladiumclub.co.uk/
