After their fantastic appearance at Katie's almost 2 years ago we are absolutely delighted to be able to announce the return of The Newcranes.
In the heady days of the early Nineties, it was hard to find a band with a better live reputation than The Newcranes.
Energetic and inspiring, their intoxicating mix of Slavonic-tinged thrash-folk-punk thrilled audiences across Europe. Tasting chart success as label mates with The Levellers, supporting Bob Dylan, tours with Saw Doctors, Stiff Little Fingers and The Mission, headlining Camden Palace with Skunk Anansie supporting and then... silence. Now, after 25 years and a fan campaign to get the band to reform they are back. With a bunch of classic tunes to play, a fanbase who are eagerly awaiting and a renewed fire in the band, The Newcranes are not to be missed!
Support on the night is from the very brilliant Paul Henshaw.
Advanced tickets £10.00 in advance or £12 otd.

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.
Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.
In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.
Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.
Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
