Street Outlaws

Street Outlaws, from Swindon Town were formed in 2018. They are a 3-piece band who are making themselves known with their own brand of ‘loud, fast, mean, dirty rock ‘n’ roll.’ Inspired by Motorhead, with a bluesy feel and raw, punk edge.

A 3-piece rock and roll band from Bath, formed in 2023. Taking influence from classic punk groups, as well as reggae and ska greats. They have now released their first EP and have started touring venues in the surrounding areas, playing their original music built on a foundation of thick bass lines, punchy drums and shoutable choruses.

ThickCut

Forged from the self same molten rock that gave birth to such hard rocking titans as Zeppelin, Purple, Lizzy, Skynyrd, Whitesnake, Stones, Tom Petty and the Black Crowes – Thickcut bring their brand of all rocking, all dancing, all-sing-alonging classic twin guitar rock covers to Calne!

Marlboro Road

Marlboro Road are a new, up and coming band to the local music scene. This hard working band are taking Calne by storm with their blues rock covers. Their influences range from ZZ Top to Thin Lizzy. Marlboro Road bring raw energy and classic riffs, delivering powerful live performances every time!
Howard Marshall

Howard Marshall (1944 – 2023) was an avid supporter of the Bike Meet, with his involvement stretching back into the days of the Rotary club.
Without his efforts the committee would not be what it is today. It was Howard who called for the initial meeting to create the Calne Bike Meet Committee in 2012, this action saved the Bike Meet and without him it is unlikely there would have been a 2013 event.
Even once the new committee was formed he was present helping us in our first couple of years. He was the Jedi Master of Calne Bike Meet! Howard was also a keen musician, often found around the band stage or with a guitar in hand.
As a tribute to his support for our event and his enthusiasm for music, we have named our music stage in his honour.
