Organiser Martin Cording said: 'Hi-On Maiden were a treat playing classics such as The Trooper, Fear of the Dark and Running to the Hills to perfection. The best Maiden tribute band by far, deserve much respect for travelling the length of the country to support the Dave Sharp Young Musicians Fund.'

2011 Battle of the Bands
09/05/11
The Battle of the Bands held on Friday night attracted an audience in excess of 300 people. The night's music was provided by Laura and Rob Williams, Bullet Proof Future, Carbon Chemistry, Antari and The Drifting.
Ben Philcox from DBS Music and record label Prima Rose, said:
Laura and Rob Williams
'Laura and Rob both performed solid vocal parts with some lovely harmonies throughout - great original song numbers combined with some excellent cover ideas with were well interpreted and nicely played.'
Bullet Proof Future
'Bullet Proof Future have the prospect of being great musicians in the future - let's not forget the lead singer was 10! Amazing!'
Carbon Chemistry
'Carbon Chemistry had lots of confidence with some very good interaction with the crowd. All this when missing a key player who had a broken arm. Let's see you guys in full swing one day, could be even better!'
Antari
'Antari were the winners of 'solo of the night' in my view, lively metal/thrash outfit with some pretty good riff-based music madness. Genuine respect by them for all the other acts and the crowd, this was nice to see.'
The Drifting
The winners of the Battle were The Drifting. Ben said: 'These guys can all play well together, great prospect for the not so distant future if they remain true to their cause and carry on developing their excellent original songs. The bass player loved his instrument, really nice to see that amount of enjoyment in playing. I think we are going to hear a lot of The Drifting in years to come.'

Please to announce "I am forever" as part of the Saturday night lineup
09/02/11
Forged in the otherwise tranquil countryside of England’s picturesque South West, I Am Forever have quickly established themselves as a seriously exciting proposition. With a sound that spans emotive soundscapes and serpentine melody, the Glastonbury based quartet deal in a raw and potent blend of rock, pop and punk.
A stint with in demand producer Jason Wilcock (Fightstar, We Are The Ocean, Senser etc) has resulted in a stunning five track mini-album curiously entitled 'The Tragic Tale Of Jonny Pumpkinhead’, which has been released as a 28 page CD Novel.
Employing an enviable work ethic, the band have toured constantly since their formation in 2007. Indeed, they have already shared the stage with a gargantuan list of artists, Kasabian, Madina Lake, Massive Attack, Attack! Attack!, Twin Atlantic, Reverend & The Makers, We Are The Ocean, Mayday Parade, Fei Comodo, Futures, Enjoy Destroy, Flood Of Red, the list goes on and on! Added to which, they have also managed successful slots at both the Glastonbury and Guilfest festivals.
And the band have no intention of letting up any time soon... The debut single 'Only Stars Can See' has already been playlisted on many radio stations including Kerrang! Radio and Xfm, and the tracks music video has received a lot of attention on Scuzz TV and online.
Recent Press:
"It's a unique blend of musical and cinematic scope that makes I Am Forever a band to get excited about." - Kerrang!
"I Am Forever have crafted their own style of pop-rock... Better get reading!" - Rocksound

Quad Damage will warm up for Maiden
05/02/11
Quad Damage was formed in 2005 by Dave Sharp, Ed Sliwinski, Rob Brett and Steve Doyle. Sadly vocalist Dave was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, an aggressive form took hold and he passed in June 2009. Dave's last ever performance was at the first monster mash.
His friends have decided to continue his legacy. Ed (guitar) and Rob (drums) remain from the original line up and were joined by guitar genius Matt Cooke and Martin "Mother Hen" Cording on vocals. After several changes on bass guitar, the boys are happy that Bob Flynn has now joined the line up.
Quad Damage will perform the heaviest set of the night, banging out some classic thrash to warm up the mosh pit for HI ON MAIDEN.
The Con to open this year's Malborough Music Monster Mash
01/02/11
The Con are brothers Adam (vox/guitars) and Danny Withers (guitars/vox), Dave Robbins (bass guitar) with Lyndon Tuck (drums).
The brothers met Dave through an advert they put on a website, attracted by common influnces, they launched head first into writing songs . Next a name was neeeded, Dave came up with The Con, it was short and sharp like the tunes being written. After a long search they found drummer Lyndon Tuck to handle duty's on the skins, bringing another energy and personality to the band.
