THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE – AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE

with special guest GRAHAM OLIVER

In 1967 Hendrix and his group released their extraordinary second album, 'Axis: Bold As Love.' The record fits perfectly between 'Are You Experienced' and 'Electric Ladyland' with Hendrix at the fore with superb writing and melancholic nuanced musicianship.

Founding member and former lead guitarist with Saxon, Graham Oliver is an acknowledged Hendrix aficionado. He returns to the CAT Club ten years after being our special guest for our first ever public gathering in 2016. The featured LP that night was 'Are You Experienced.'

Our good friend Ian Clayton was on top form in the interviewer's chair.

When you listen to this recording Graham reveals an unusual hobby not usually associated with great guitarists - but it does explain why he was overjoyed to receive The CAT Club mug and matching coaster.

This event took place on 23 July 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION – THE FIRST OF A MILLION KISSES

with special guest MARK NEVIN

Released in 1988, 'The First Of A Million Kisses,' was the double platinum debut album from Fairground Attraction, a band originally formed with Mark Nevin and Eddi Reader.

Largely written by guitarist Nevin, it blended folk, jazz, country and pop influences. At the 1989 Brit Awards the record won the British Album Of The Year, while 'Perfect' was named British Single Of The Year.

Since Fairground Attraction split up the following year, Nevin has enjoyed a successful solo career as a songwriter and performer, working with many artists including Morrissey, Kirsty MacColl and Ringo Starr.

Fairground Attraction reformed in 2024, recording a new album and returning to the stage.

BOB DYLAN – BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME

Bob Dylan’s fifth album Bringing It All Back Home was released in March 1965. The introduction of electric guitar into his sound set off a wave of controversy that came symbolically crashing down at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester fourteen months later when some wag shouted ‘Judas!’

Ian Clayton, author of the bestselling memoir Bringing It All Back Home, was in a fascinating conversation with Ian Daley of Route publishing, who have re-issued CP Lee’s classic book, Like The Night to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the legendary concert.

This event took place on 14th May 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
