Voodoo Room bring Hendrix, Clapton and Cream classics to Medina Theatre in Newport for a Thursday night of blues-rock, guitar solos and songs that still sound built for a live room. The show starts at 7.30pm, with the bar open from 6.30pm, giving classic-rock fans a seated gig that feels like a night out without turning into a late one.
The set reaches into the Hendrix, Clapton and Cream catalogue, including songs such as Voodoo Chile, Sunshine of Your Love, White Room and Layla. That gives the evening a clear promise: big riffs, familiar choruses and enough musicianship to reward people who came for the playing as much as the nostalgia. Medina's theatre sound should help the detail land, especially for guitar parts that can get lost in busier standing venues.
Tickets cost £26. This is one of the more straightforward music events to recommend for mixed groups, because the songs do so much of the introduction for you. It should suit guitar fans, classic-rock households and visitors looking for an indoor Newport plan in early September. If someone in the family still talks about proper guitar music, this is the easy birthday or night-out suggestion. Arrive early enough for parking, then let the catalogue do the rest.
