This week we bring back to life a band called Bethnal. Wrongly labelled punk or new wave, this late 70s UK band could have been hard rock contenders, if only they’d been better marketed by their label. Check out all previous Cult Heroes here.
The Enid are about to re-release their first two albums, through their own label.
WHO: Cambridge Rocks WHERE: Haggis Farm Polo Club. On the outskirts of Cambridge, M11, Junction 12 WHEN: August 5-8
This week we take a look at a NWOBH legend’s BBC recordings, get all metal with Witchery, rejoice in the return of The Enid, go all sleazy with Jettblack and look forward to Hawkwind and Black Country Communion.

This week, there are new Ozzy and The Enid albums, live recordings from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nutz, plus a Therapy? reissue.
