Reviews from 2026:
5/5 Great venue. Easy cheap parking on the railway Station, great band who know their stuff, highly recommend.
5/5 The band are very tight and always perform perfectly as they are fans of the Stranglers and love playing their music.
4.5/5 Rattus were brilliant when they appeared at the Victoria Inn at Derby on 10/1/2026. A Stranglers tribute act, they were spot on. They used Fender guitars and the keyboard had a Hammond keyboard, which were favoured by the Stranglers. The drummer was excellent and the bassist was also note perfect. The lead guitarist was the main vocalist and did a good job of singing such loved songs. Genetix was the song they got onto the stage with and they opened with Shah Shah a Go Go, later they played Duchess, Nice n'Sleazy, Longship, Walk on by, Get a Grip, Hanging Around and loads more. We had to miss the second half because my companion was overwhelmed but we had an excellent evening.
