Heart of Rust: A Tribute to Neil Young
SUNDAY 28TH JUNE 2026
Doors 1.00pm
We’re no stranger to a tribute band here in McChuills but we try to be selective about it. We don’t just book some randoms in fancy dress playing a bunch of covers and calling it a tribute. ‘Cos if it is, it’s a pretty bad one.
Ever since The Pogue Traders first played here all those years ago, the bar was set: we want the closest you’ll get to the real thing and ideally, if you shut yr eyes you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference. It’s a high bar, but that’s what we want to see and so do you, so whenever we discover a band like Heart Of Rust, we’re all over it.
There’s more Neil Young tributes out there than he’s got albums, but very few if any perfectly (but not slavishly) recreate that raw, unfiltered, grinding but melodic take on rock n’roll that Neil Young & Crazy Horse have been cranking out all these years than Heart of Rust.
From the massive riffs of proto-grunge anthems like Cinnamon Girl and Powderfinger to the fragile heartbreakers like Cortez The Killer and My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue), this lot just nail every side of that extensive back catalogue. Trust us, if yr a fan, you do not want to miss this.
Not only that, it’s a matinee show as well! So you can come down, see an excellent band and bolt back up the road in time for dinner without worrying about shite public transport. Or you can just stay here and have a few more, nobody’s chucking you out…
But aye, if yr into Neil Young and Crazy Horse, you’ll love Heart of Rust. Guaranteed.
