Thursday 18th August - Stripped at The Wellington Inn

The finest acoustic tunes from the North's best bands and solo artists every first and third Thursday of the month. Fresh from its first successful year at Baby Jupiter in Leeds, Stripped launches onto the Hull music scene at The Wellington Inn. This unique acoustic night showcases the North's finest talent, playing host to quality, original artists of varying styles in one of Hull's most individual bars.

Each night features three to four bands, with each band playing two sets, with four or five songs in each.

Stripped hopes to give a forum to those artists with real talent, often ignored by mainstream, established venues. Strong ties with the well-established night in Leeds will also bring over many artists who would not otherwise be heard by Hull audiences. The Wellington Inn is proud to be the home of Hull Stripped, and offers hundreds of beers and ales from across the globe. Variety is the essence of the venue and a quintessential part of the Stripped concept. Thursday 18th August - 8pm

Steve Reed - Fresh from his album launch party, playing his own brand of mellow, easy, finger-picking pop. The Bonnitts - Strip to the bones their punchy rock sound Launderette Poets - Performing their captivating guitar and angelic vocal pieces. Also performing after taking a break will be The Nick Duggan Complex. For more information please contact Patrick Gradwell at . hullstripped@hotmail.co.uk

Music Reviews - Saturday 18th June 05 - Yeti and White Rose Movement at Sweet n Sour at The Silhouette By JG Photos by Mo
	Tonight, Yeti's support came from London based White Rose Movement. As soon as the band dived into their first song, I really thought that I was going to love them. In fact, every one of the songs on their set started off sounding very promising; fantastic intros that grab your attention and prepare you for a song full of energy and catchy hooks. However, when the vocals Read more...

	So I'm walking down Beverley Road, and as I'm walking this car stops at the lights and a guy hangs it head out of the window and shouts across to me, "Ey, mate...yeah you!" I try to ignore him, but seeing as I'm the only person on the street, there's no doubt in my mind that he's talking to me. Shit... "I think yer've dropped summat, mate," he yells. Read more...
