First this week we head south to the venue that is little in size but big in heart.

Compton Vaults are getting the weekend underway in a gentle style with a set from Acoustic Atmosphere.

The duo consisting of Tom Baker on guitars and vocals and Mark Firth on backing vocals and percussion are playing a re-worked set list of covers from a diverse array of bands, such as Staind, Passengers, REM and Tenacious D.

Next, we head north to Bar Logo in Ramsey where Bon Jelski head to for their next gig on Saturday night.

If you’re a fan of all things Bon Jovi then this is well worth checking out.

Bon Jelski, a band made up of members of Pigs On The Wing, 995, Barefoot Revolution and Jester’s Dead and also featuring the lead vocals of Mike Jelski, hence the name, pull out a set that delves deep and across all eras of the Bon Jovi back catalogue.

Expect earlier career cuts like Runaway, Living On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, I’ll Be There For You and Bed Of Roses to the later cuts like It’s My Life, Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night, In The Arms and These Days.

It’s free entry and the band hit the stage for a two-hour set from around 9.15pm.

Symbollix head to one of their regular gigs at Jaks in Douglas on Saturday night.

The band features John Ruscoe, George Hughes, John Ryan and Martin McEvely in their line-up and they root themselves in mostly 70s classic rock, pulling out a set list that combines the likes of ZZ Top, The Who, Wings, Bad Company, Whitesnake, Cream and The Rolling Stones.

Head a bit further down the road to the Original Quids Inn and you will catch The Ballaghs in action.

The folk rock outfit, featuring Mike Wade on guitar and vocals, Ian Allen on bouzouki, Lee Quaggin on bass and Mike Stevens on drums, are enjoying a busy period at the moment and are getting a few gigs under their belts after spending a bit of time during the winter in the Ballagroove studio with Gyp Buggane.

Expect a set of foot stomping originals, influenced by Manx folk tunes, along with a set of covers from the likes of the Pogues, the Levellers, Flogging Molly, Ferocious Dog and more.

They will be on stage from 9pm.

Also, keep your eyes and ears open for new music from local legend Steve Nash, who released a new song, ’Dragons’, through Small Bear Records, last weekend.
